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

Did you like this lyrics translation?
valentía — courage / bravery
Valentía translates to "courage" or "bravery". It's a powerful and inspiring word that stands out in a song primarily about love and regret.
In the lyrics, the singer expresses a deep longing and regret, but then declares, "Quiero decirle que tengo valentía para escribirle" (I want to tell her that I have the courage to write to her). This shows a shift from passive suffering to active resolve, making it a memorable and emotionally resonant word that encourages action.
Ever messed up a good relationship and spent months replaying the mistake in your head? That is the exact mess Colombian group Piso 21 and Argentine rapper Paulo Londra lay out in "Te Amo". The track hits you right away with open regret: "Sé que yo te fallé" ("I know I failed you"). Instead of making excuses, the singer admits that time is passing, being alone hurts, and he is losing his mind wishing he could fix what he broke. It feels like someone pacing their living room, building up the nerve to send that one text they know they probably shouldn't send.
Paulo Londra jumps in and takes things back to where it all began, remembering how he froze when he first saw her: "Me quedé mirándote como un imbécil" ("I stood there looking at you like an idiot"). He calls her "un bombón" (literally a chocolate candy, used here as slang for an absolute knockout or gorgeous girl) and the "bella del salón" (the prettiest girl in the classroom). He knows an apology comes way too late, but the memories of their kisses stick around anyway. It is catchy, slightly embarrassed, and completely honest about the sting of losing your childhood crush because you blew it.
