Lyrics of Te quiero - Nacha Guevara

Te quiero (original)

CORO:
Si te quiero es porque sos
Mi amor, mi cómplice y todo
Y en la calle codo a codo
Somos mucho más que dos
Somos mucho más que dos
Tus manos son mi caricia
Mis acordes cotidianos
Te quiero porque tus manos
Trabajan por la justicia
CORO
Tus ojos son mi conjuro
Contra la mala jornada
Te quiero por tu mirada
Que mira y siembra futuro
Tu boca que es tuya y mía
Tu boca no se equivoca
Te quiero porque tu boca
Sabe gritar rebeldía
CORO
Y por tu rostro sincero
Y tu paso vagabundo
Y tu llanto por el mundo
Porque sos pueblo te quiero
Y porque amor no es aureola
Ni cándida moraleja
Y porque somos pareja
Que sabe que no está sola
Te quiero en mi paraíso
Es decir que en mi país
La gente viva feliz
Aunque no tenga permiso
CORO

(translation)

CHORUS:
If I love you it is because you are
My love, my accomplice and everything
And in the street side by side
We are much more than two
We are much more than two
your hands are my caress
My everyday chords
I love you because your hands
They work for justice
CHORUS
Your eyes are my spell
Against the bad day
I love you for your look
That looks and sows the future
Your mouth that is yours and mine
Your mouth is not wrong
I love you because your mouth
knows how to shout rebellion
CHORUS
And for your sincere face
And your wandering step
And your tears for the world
Because you are a people I love you
And because love is not a halo
Nor candid moral
And because we are a couple
Who knows that she is not alone
I love you in my paradise
That is to say that in my country
people live happily
Even if you don't have permission
CHORUS
