Te Necesito Lyrics in English by Hombres G
Te Necesito is Hombres G at their most lonely. The song opens by poking at someone who "siempre quieres parecerte a tantas cosas que no eres" (always wants to look like so many things you're not): driving sports cars, sleeping with women. Then it turns inward fast. "No puedo dormir" (I can't sleep), "y estoy tan solo aquí" (and I'm so alone here), and the hook lands: "y te necesito" (and I need you).
The images are what make it. He is stuck "dentro de esta habitación" (inside this room), watching the sun come up, and "el techo es tan alto y tan fría la pared" (the ceiling is so high and the wall so cold). He admits "tengo tanto miedo de perderme o desaparecer" (I'm so scared of losing myself or disappearing). Then the last verse goes wild: "soy un piloto de la segunda guerra" (I'm a pilot from the Second World War), flying over America on a mission. It is a daydream escape from that cold room, and it is a bit over the top in the best way.
Learner tip: "quisiera que... algo me sorprendiera" (I wish something would surprise me) uses the past subjunctive after "quisiera que", a pattern you will hear everywhere once you notice it. The song ends on the simplest line of all: "nada más me importa, solo tú" (nothing else matters to me, only you).
