Letra del Tango Te quiero

Te quiero,

como no te quiso nadie,

como nadie te querrá.

Te adoro,

como se adora en la vida,

la mujer que se ha de amar.

Te quiero,

como se quiere a la vida

cuando la vida es beldad;

como se quiere a un hermano;

como se quiere a una madre,

con ese amor sin igual,

como se quiere en la vida

una vez, y nada más.



Hoy te quiero más que ayer,

pero menos que mañana;

y no hay fuerza sobrehumana

que detenga mi querer.

Son muy lindas las caricias,

si nacen del corazón;

y son lindos los amores

que conservan la ilusión.



Y si un querer lo provoca,

es sublime, hasta el dolor,

y las penas, no son penas,

cuando son penas de amor.



Hoy te quiero más que ayer

pero menos que mañana;

mi pasión es soberana,

y reclama tu querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Te quiero"

I love you,

as no one has ever loved you,

as no one will ever love you.

I adore you,

as one adores in life,

the woman who must be loved.

I love you,

as one loves life

when life is beauty;

as one loves a sibling;

as one loves a mother,

with that unmatched love,

as one loves in life

once, and never again.



Today I love you more than yesterday,

but less than tomorrow;

and there’s no superhuman force

that can stop my love.

Caresses are very beautiful,

if they come from the heart;

and loves are beautiful too

when they retain the illusion.



And if a love provokes it,

it’s sublime, even the pain,

and sorrows are not sorrows,

when they are sorrows of love.



Today I love you more than yesterday

but less than tomorrow;

my passion is supreme,

and it demands your love.

Te quiero by Francisco Canaro

Story behind the Tango Te quiero

The lyrics of “Te quiero” express a deep and everlasting love that seems both overwhelming and tender. The opening lines, “Te quiero, como no te quiso nadie, como nadie te querrá”, translates to “I love you, like no one has loved you, like no one will ever love you.” It sets a tone of intimate exclusivity and profound devotion, echoing the intense emotions often encapsulated in Tango music. This heartfelt declaration suggests a love that defies comparison and beats the test of time, growing stronger each day as stated in “Hoy te quiero más que ayer, pero menos que mañana.”



Symbolism of Te quiero

The song richly uses metaphors and comparisons to elevate the emotional weight of the love being expressed. Love is likened to quintessential life experiences and familial bonds, suggesting it’s as vital and real as the love one has for a sibling or mother—undeniably powerful and pure. Notably, the phrase “y las penas, no son penas, cuando son penas de amor” (and sorrows are not sorrows when they are sorrows of love) symbolizes the transformative power of love to alter perceptions and diminish the impact of hardships.



Te quiero in historic Context

The song “Te quiero” was created in 1974, a period when Argentina was teetering on the edge of significant political upheaval leading up to a military junta that would shape the next decade. This song, firmly rooted in the traditional cultural expression of Tango, might have served as a soothing, romantic escape or a reaffirmation of personal bonds amidst growing societal tensions. The enduring and deepening love described in the lyrics may subtly reflect a yearning for constancy and comfort when faced with external instability.
