"Te Quiero" - Benedetti/Favero

Many years ago, I sang this with an SSAA choir, and loved it. It also came to me at the wedding of F/friends.

This piece recently came up on the UUMN listserv, and Dara provided this video link:



Here is a link to two translations, and the original in Spanish.

"te quiero porque tus manos
trabajan por la justicia...
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"

"I love you because your hands
work for justice...
If I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and all
and in the street arm in arm
we are much more than two
we are much more than two"
