Tequiero Lyrics in English by Vicco, Abraham Mateo
Espabilabas comes from the verb espabilar, which means to wake up, to liven up, or to get smart. It's a less common and more dynamic word than simply saying "despertar" (to wake up).
In the song, the lyric "Si el alcohol me aturdía, tú me espabilabas" (If alcohol made me dizzy, you livened me up) uses espabilabas to convey that the person's presence had a stimulating and invigorating effect, counteracting the dulling effects of alcohol. It's an engaging word that highlights the partner's positive influence.
"Tequiero" is a simple love song about choosing someone despite outside doubts.
The verses open with a quiet, grateful feeling: just being close to this person makes the singer feel special, even without knowing what tomorrow holds. Rather than worry about the future, they decide to enjoy the moment they have right now.
The chorus works like a vow. Friends warn that the relationship won't last, but the singer answers by repeating "te quiero" (I love you) over and over, as if saying it enough times could make it undeniable.
The second verse turns more physical and playful, remembering a night out together: dancing, a little drinking, and the thrill of finally kissing. It's a song about staying present with someone you love, without needing any guarantees about what comes next.
