How do you pronounce it?
/sjempɾe te amaɾe/
Did you know?
- In Spanish, the word querer actually means 'to want'. Because of this, siempre te querré literally translates to 'I will always want you', blending the idea of desire with affection.
- The word te in siempre te amaré is a direct descendant of the Latin word tē, which is the exact same root used for the English word 'thee'.
- Unlike English, which uses 'love' for everything from pizza to partners, Spanish distinguishes between the affection of querer and the profound devotion of amar. Using amar in a casual context can sound melodramatic or like a line from a soap opera.
