Tanto Lyrics in English Jesse & Joy , Luis Fonsi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Jesse & Joy / Tanto

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tanto by Jesse & Joy from Spanish to English.

You say that I'm impossible to decipher

Quiet, reserved, and temperamental

That you'd love me to express myself a little more

And talking about feelings just doesn't come to me

But I'm going to try

I love you so much

So much that I feel stupid

So stupid that it hurts so much when you're not here

I love you so much

And so that you imagine how much

Count every star and add one more

I'm reserved, don't take it personally

So much cheesiness usually makes me uncomfortable

If I run out of words it's not intentional

How can I express something that I don't know how to explain?

But I'm going to try

I love you so much

So much that I feel dumb

So dumb that it hurts so much when you're not here

I love you so much

And so that you imagine how much

Count every star and add one more, and add one more

I love you so much

So much that I don't know how to explain it

So much that even I get scared

Just from thinking about it

That I love you so much

So much that I feel stupid

So stupid that it hurts so much when you're not here

So much, and so that you imagine how much

Count every star

Add all my freckles

And when you think it's close, add one more

And add one more

SONG MEANING

Imagine loving someone so much that your own feelings leave you tongue-tied. That is the heart of “Tanto,” where Mexican duo Jesse & Joy join forces with Puerto Rican pop star Luis Fonsi to confess a love so huge it is hard to put into words. Each singer admits they are normally reserved, almost allergic to cheesy declarations, yet the magnitude of their affection pushes them to try anyway. The repeated promise “Te amo tanto” (“I love you so much”) becomes a playful struggle between shyness and sincerity, turning every verse into a tug-of-war with their own emotions.

In this sweet duet the lovers search for ways to measure the immeasurable. They offer a whimsical scale: count every star, add one more, then add every freckle on their skin. Even that is not enough. The song reminds us that true love can make the coolest person feel silly, vulnerable, even a bit frightened by its intensity. “Tanto” is an anthem for anyone who has ever stumbled over their words while their heart was shouting the loudest message of all.
