Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Te Amo
Te Amo
words and music by Tom Lehrer (with thanks to Munro Edmonson)
| He: | Te amo, vida de mi vida, | ||
| She: | The moon is high above, | ||
| HE: | Mi amor, | SHE: | I think he said "amor." |
| Un favor | I've heard that word before. | ||
| Yo te pido. | |||
| Mi amor, | I'm almost sure that love | ||
| Un favor | Is what he's thinking of. | ||
| Un besito de contestación. | |||
| (Alt.: Yo te pido solamente que me envíes tu un beso del balcón.) | There he goes again! | ||
| Te amo, | The moon is high above, | ||
| vida | And I'm in the mood for love, | ||
| de mi vida. | And I just love the song that he's playing. | ||
| Te amo | The night is so romantic, | ||
| con todo | But it's driving me just frantic, | ||
| mi corazón. | 'Cause I don't understand a word he's saying. | ||
| Por tí | My troubles all might vanish | ||
| yo muero, | If I knew a little Spanish, | ||
| mi querida. | But I'm afraid it's only Greek to me. | ||
| Déjame | And yet I wish I knew | ||
| decirte | Just what the guy would do, | ||
| mi pasión. | If I should say "Si, Si." | ||
| Si, Si? | |||
| Si, Si! | |||
| Si, Si? | |||
| Si, Si! | |||
| Ella dice "Si, Si"! | So we shall see, Si, Si! |
