Te Quiero

If I love you, it’s because you are
My love, my partner in crime, and everything
And on the street, side by side
We’re so much more than two
We’re so much more than two

Your hands are my caress
My everyday chords
I love you because your hands
Work for justice

If I love you, it’s because you are
My love, my partner in crime, and everything
And on the street, side by side
We’re so much more than two
We’re so much more than two

Your eyes are my spell
Against a bad day
I love you for your gaze
That sees and sows the future

Your mouth that’s yours and mine
Your mouth doesn’t make mistakes
I love you because your mouth
Knows how to shout rebellion

If I love you, it’s because you are
My love, my partner in crime, and everything
And on the street, side by side
We’re so much more than two

And for your sincere face
And your wandering steps
And your cries for the world
Because you are the people, I love you

And because love isn’t a halo
Nor a naive moral
And because we’re a couple
That knows it’s not alone

I love you in my paradise
That is to say, in my country
People live happily
Even without permission

If I love you, it’s because you are
My love, my partner in crime, and everything
And on the street, side by side
We’re so much more than two.
