Venero comes from the verb venerar, meaning 'to venerate' or 'to worship'. It's a word you'd typically associate with deep respect for something sacred, making it a powerful and uncommon way to express love.
In the song, Juanes sings, "Con el alma y con el corazón, te venero" (With my soul and with my heart, I venerate you). He uses this intense word to show that his love goes beyond simple affection and is a profound, almost spiritual devotion.
Colombian singer Juanes lays all his cards on the table in this tender track. He doesn't hold back anything, promising that his sweetheart gets everything from his blood to the very essence of his being: "Desde mi sangre hasta la esencia de mi ser" [From my blood to the essence of my being]. He even jokes with sweet exaggeration that he has everything ready, and whatever he lacks, he will track down: "Lo tengo todo y lo que no tengo también / Lo conseguiré" [I have it all, and what I don't have, I'll get it too]. There are no breakups on his horizon here, only forever ("Para tu amor no hay despedidas / Para tu amor yo solo tengo eternidad" [For your love there are no goodbyes / For your love I only have eternity]).
Notice how he sings "Un corazón que late por vos" [A heart that beats for you]. That little word vos is a regional pronoun used in parts of Colombia and other Latin American countries instead of the textbook tú. It makes the confession feel conversational and direct. He gathers romantic gifts like the moon, a rainbow, and a carnation ("una luna, un arcoíris y un clavel"), while sharing complete empathy by declaring "tu dolor es mi dolor" [your pain is my pain]. In the end, he stops trying to explain his overwhelming feelings and simply says thank you for existing: "Gracias yo te doy / A ti, mi amor / Por existir" [I give thanks to you, my love, for existing].
