Rihanna - Te Amo Lyrics

Artist: Rihanna

Album: Rated R

  • Songwriters: Mikkel Eriksen, James Fauntleroy, Robyn Fenty, Tor Hermansen

"Te amo, te amo," she says to me
I hear the pain in her voice
Then we danced underneath the candelabra, she takes the lead
That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over

Then she said "te amo"
Then she put her hand around my waist
I told her no, she cried "te amo"
I told her I'm not gonna run away, but let me go

My soul is awry, without asking why
I said, "te amo, wish somebody'd tell me what she said"
Don't it mean "I love you"?
Think it means "I love you"
Don't it mean "I love you"?

Te amo, te amo, she's scared to breathe
I hold her hand, I got no choice
Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water, I start to leave
She's begging me and asking why it's over

Then she said "te amo"
Then she put her hand around my waist
I told her no, she cried "te amo"
I told her I'm not gonna run away, but let me go

My soul is awry, without asking why
I said, "te amo, wish somebody'd tell me what she said"
Don't it mean "I love you"?
Think it means "I love you"
Don't it mean "I love you"?

Listen we can dance, but you gotta watch your hands
Watch me all night, I'm movin' to the light because I understand
That we all need love and I'm not afraid
I feel the love, but I don't feel that way

Then she said "te amo"
Then she put her hand around my waist
I told her no, she cried "te amo"
I told her I'm not gonna run away, but let me go

My soul is awry, without asking why
I said, "te amo, wish somebody'd tell me what she said"
Don't it mean "I love you"?
Think it means "I love you"
Don't it mean "I love you"?

Think it means "I love you"
I love you
Te amo, te amo
Don't it mean I love you?

What does this song mean to you?

  • Hannah van Boxel

    i don't understand ?

  • Jessica Superultramegahomeskil

    I'm so confused.

  • Hot Succubus

    Gosh you're right she IS talking about herself! I just thought this way I wasn't sure but now that I see your comments I believe I was right. THIS SONG IS AWESOME! It's fantastic. Actually I have chosen it as my cell phone's ringtone. Rihanna you ROCK!

    The first comment o nher sorta confused me cuz the first person who sung thsi song (Rocky Martin) turned out 2 be gay bt i dnt think rihanna is lesiban bcuz of the cr=hris brown thing i think she juz has bad luck with love

  • moosemeese

    this isn't a lesbian thing I don't think. especially as the original was sung in Portuguese by a man - Ricky Martin I think? so pretty simple she loves him and wants him so much and he is pushing her away not sure because he doesn't love her as much as she loves him or because he just doesn't love her any more.... pretty f'kin sad state of affairs whatever the mix of genders... that's my take

    confession time : i never used to like rihanna coz of all the demonic assosiations but after buying rated r, im a converted fan!!! sista rocks big time, this song is koool and extra sexy. i love the fact that another women is appreciating miss riri's beauty. that just goes to say that women shud start appreciating eachother and stop hating and... it dont mean you have to be les!!!

    She is a singer isnt she? what's matter if she is Lez or not? make juzgments based on her profesional performace.Get over! Love hasnt got limits.Putting lables seems to be a popular sport. Lez and queer exist since the creation of the world.

    "te amo" is not spanish and not italian, it's latin for i love you(

  • Anonymous

    Okey, for the person that says that "Te amo" is Italian is not, is Spanish.

    Te amo in Italian is Ti amo!

  • Anonymous

    lets be nice noe. but what the song means is she is singing from a male's point of view who is in a club and this spanish girl comes up to him starts dancing with him and basically she thinks she can get anything she wants out of a man by telling him 'te amo' which means i love you in spanish. And basically, the male is so not interested in her at all.

    i love this song, its deep. :)
    and why are people calling her bisexual, if she was it would be in the news by now ! come on, why would Rihanna be that, shes with Chris Brown :/
    it's a really good song and the lyrics are true.

  • Anonymous

    well tbh, she aint bisexual and it would of been in the new by now! c'mon its rihanna, shes talking about herself.
    people need too realize.
    it's a really god song :)

  • Anonymous

    this song is beautiful. yes, i looked up the lyrics because i couldn't believe what i was hearing, thought she's bisexual, too - i think that even makes more sense than she "is talking about herself" by saying she.. i don't think she turned to someone saying something italian..

  • Anonymous

    people interpret this song wrong . the "she" rihanna's talking about is herself . this is actually a very deep song , love it .

  • Anonymous

    who is she talking about? Is she talking about herself wats up wit this,is she sayon she's bi now

  • Anonymous

    Now im assuming that she mustve had a lite fling with this girl..but the girl took it the wrong way and became too attached so now she is expressing her feelings for her but rihanna obviously doesnt feel the same back.
