The words "te amo" in Spanish mean "I love you." And it fits so well with the rest of the lyrics. I just find this song so beautiful and romantic, even though there's obviously more than a touch of sadness here too. I think it is definitely the most romantic song he's done. Usually Atlas Sound/Deerhunter songs about love are... well, kind of creepy and/or depressing. (Though in a good/interesting way. I don't mean that to be insulting in the least).
Despite the melancholy laced within, I just find the idea of one and one's partner having wild, fantastic dreams together really gorgeous. Intense love is quite often like that though - both aching and wonderful at once. And "I'll pretend you were the only one..." That line really captures that feeling of sadness and happiness intertwined together so perfectly to me. Like I said... so romantic. :-)
"Romantic" doesn't have to be synonymous with happy. Lots of romantic things are sad, and I never said the line was a completely happy one. Like the rest of the song, to me it's a very mixed feeling.
