“Ay, Que Te Como” is a joyful love proclamation wrapped in the lively rhythms of Andalusia. El Mani gushes over every little detail of his beloved – her carita (face) is “like a lump of honey,” her tiny mouth reminds him of soft crêpe, and her eyes reflect the sea. When he repeats “¡Ay, que te como!” he is not talking about food; he is using a playful Spanish expression that means “I adore you so much I could just gobble you up.” The singer alternates between mirarte (looking at you), quererte (loving you), and soñarte (dreaming about you), building a chorus of unstoppable affection.
Behind the sweet metaphors lies a simple but powerful message: true love delights in every feature, celebrates every moment, and dreams of an unbreakable future together. The repetitive structure, typical of Sevillanas and other folk-flamenco styles, echoes the excitement of a dancer spinning round and round on a festival floor. By the time the last “¡Ay, que te voy a comer!” rings out, the listener has no doubt that this is a man completely enamorao (in love) with both the beauty and the very being of his partner.
