Quiero Lyrics in English Selena
Mátame literally translates to "Kill me". While this sounds dramatic, it's a passionate and poetic expression common in Spanish love songs.
In the lyrics, Selena sings "Mátame con tus ojos" (Kill me with your eyes). She is using this phrase metaphorically to describe being completely overwhelmed and captivated by her lover's gaze. It’s a powerful way to say "your look takes my breath away."
Get ready to feel the rush of first love! In Quiero, Mexican-American superstar Selena repeats the word quiero (“I want”) like a heartbeat, turning the song into an irresistible plea for affection. She begs her crush to say “I love you,” seal it with a kiss, and share a warmth so powerful that she “dies” without it. The upbeat cumbia-pop rhythm keeps things light and danceable, yet every line brims with sincerity.
Selena dreams big: life juntitos (together), eternal happiness, and a love felt “con el alma” (with the soul). The dramatic cry “Mátame con tus ojos” (“Kill me with your eyes”) shows how intense her desire is. At its core, the song celebrates the courage to voice what the heart longs for and the hope that love will be returned just as strongly.
