Verse 1
So much time that has passed
And to see everything that we dreamed may someday be already finished
This line presents ambiguity
It hurts me to think that what I wanted I don't have it by your side anymore
That has me so frustrated
And I can't endure anymore the desire to tell her
Or: And I can no longer bear the desire to tell her
Chorus 1
I want to tell you that I love you
That despite that time passes, I miss you more
'A pesar' is an expression which roughly translates to 'despite' / 'in spite of'
That I'm still alone and that your absence hurts me
I know that I failed you
But I'll always be there
I want to tell you that I love you
That despite that time passes, I miss you more
'A pesar' is an expression which roughly translates to 'despite' / 'in spite of'
That I'm still alone and that your absence hurts me
I know that I failed you
But I'll always be there
Verse 2
I'll always be there my lady
You made me crazy
From that night where I found you so sexy
I stayed looking at you like an imbecile
Until I was given the moment to say
That she's a beauty, that she's my hope
That she was always the beauty of the room
Since I was little she made me fall in love
Or: Since I was little I fell in love with her
She was the first to get my attention
Prechorus 1
And I know that it's late for forgiveness
But I want to tell her that I
That I didn't forget her
That I've always loved her
That I'll always be there for you, my baby
Chorus 2
I want to tell you that I love you
That despite that time passes, I miss you more
'A pesar' is an expression which roughly translates to 'despite' / 'in spite of'
That I'm still alone and that your absence hurts me
I know that I failed you
But I'll always be there
Verse 3
That was engraved on my heart
'Grabar en el corazón' (as well as 'grabar en la memoria/mente', etc.) has the figurative meaning of etching or engraving something on the mind or heart
And now that time pushed us away
I carry with me a big disappointment
I hope one day to lose the pain
Since then I haven't loved again
How we kissed I haven't kissed again
I want to tell her that I have courage to write to her
Prechorus 2
And I know that it's late for forgiveness
But I want to tell her that I
That I didn't forget her
That I've always loved her
That I'll always be there for you, my baby
Chorus 3
I want to tell you that I love you
That despite that time passes, I miss you more
'A pesar' is an expression which roughly translates to 'despite' / 'in spite of'
That I'm still alone and that your absence hurts me
I know that I failed you
But I'll always be there

SONG MEANING
Picture a late-night voice note that never got sent: that is the vibe of Te Amo. Over a smooth reggaeton beat, Colombian group Piso 21 and Argentine star Paulo Londra open their hearts to an old flame. Time has passed, dreams have faded, yet the feeling is stubbornly alive. Between memories of a first school-yard crush and the sting of recent silence, they repeat the words “Quiero decirte que te amo” as both confession and apology. Every line drips with regret for mistakes made, relief at finally speaking up, and the hope that love might still bridge the distance.
The result is a bittersweet cocktail. You can sway to the rhythm, but the lyrics hit like a diary entry: I know I failed you… your absence hurts… I will always be there. By marrying dance-floor energy with raw vulnerability, the song reminds us that even the most upbeat tracks can carry a tender, universal message — love lingers, and saying “I’m sorry” is sometimes the boldest groove of all.
