Te Quiero Lyrics in English by Hombres G, Carin Leon
Mejillas translates to "cheeks." It's a simple but beautifully tender word that adds a layer of sweet intimacy to your Spanish vocabulary.
In this classic love song, the singer describes a quiet, affectionate moment, singing "Te beso muy despacio en las mejillas" (I kiss you very slowly on the cheeks). This specific and gentle imagery perfectly captures the song's heartfelt, innocent romance.
"Te Quiero" is pure, unfiltered romance without any hidden tricks or complicated metaphors. Spanish pop veterans Hombres G team up with Mexican singer Carin Leon to deliver a direct plea to someone they adore. The singer cannot stand to see his partner sad, begging right away: "No, ya no me llores / No me vayas a hacer llorar a mí" [No, don't cry to me anymore / Don't go making me cry too]. Notice the affectionate term "mi niña" [my girl / my darling], which softens the command as he asks for her hand and begs to see her smile again.
From there, the track moves into quiet, late-night affection. He describes watching her sleep, feeling her breath, and softly kissing her cheek ("Te beso muy despacio en las mejillas" [I kiss you very slowly on the cheeks]). The chorus repeats "Te quiero" [I love you] over and over because he is completely consumed by her, stating plainly that "no hago otra cosa que pensar en ti" [I do nothing else but think about you]. It is dramatic, sweet, and totally unashamed about wearing its heart on its sleeve.
