Te Quiero Lyrics in English by Alex Campos
Postrado describes someone kneeling or lying face-down, often as a sign of deep humility, devotion, or surrender. In the song, the singer says he will be "postrado en el suelo" before the person he loves, creating a vivid image of complete reverence and heartfelt emotion.
Alex Campos, a Colombian artist, sings this as a direct declaration of love and gratitude to a “Tú” who created him, cared for him, and guided him. The lyrics describe this presence as someone who “creaste mi vida” [created my life] and “pusiste tu marca en mí” [put your mark on me]. The speaker remembers being cared for as a child and says, “En cada paso que dimos, tu huella fue mi destino” [In every step we took, your footprint was my destiny]. In this song, “Tú” is addressed with the closeness and devotion usually associated with God, although the lyrics keep the focus on that personal relationship rather than explaining it in detail.
The repeated “Te quiero” [I love you] is simple and direct, while “Vivo por ti, canto por ti, sueño de ti” [I live for you, sing for you, dream of you] makes the devotion sound total. “Por ti me muero” [I would die for you] is an intense expression of love, not a separate story about death. Later, the speaker remembers being lost and found again: “Solo tú me encontraste” [Only you found me]. The song ends in an image of worship, with the speaker “postrado en el suelo” [kneeling or lying face down on the ground] and saying “Te quiero” [I love you]. It feels wonderfully straightforward: a grateful person looks at the one who formed and rescued him, then says the same loving words again and again.
