"Que remos, te quiero"
Again with the song:
The complete verse is: No basta guardar secretos, secretos con ti mismo, si la verdad quieres susurrar, que remos, te quiero
Well, remos keeps coming up as "paddle" or "oar" but of course that doesn't fit, unless it's some sort of idiom I don't understand.
What does "remos" mean in this phrase?
Thank you so much for your help and patience. ![]()

It looks like it's "queremos" ("we love", "we want") rather than "que remos".
Thank you so much! Of course! I'm just starting out so your help with this silly question is so nice. Muchas gracias!
Hi bbrising ? Asking a question to gain knowledge is never breaking the rules.
You have fallen victim to the world of semantics (study of logic and colloquialism). English isnt the only language whose people fall victim to language alterations, and misuse.
In Spanish Lets is formed two ways. Vamos a hablar-o-hablamos = Lets speak. Vamos a comer-o-comemos=lets eat.
Querer can mean to want, like, love, etc.
If I want to tell you that I love you I will say te amo. If I want that love to express some lust and desire, I will tell you te quiero. So, how do I say lets love each other with lust and desire? The author thought that queremos would fill the bill. Using queremos he could give a first person plural indicative imperative (command) = Lets love with lust and desire.
The author of this song knows how to say Let's. But, because he falls victim to coloquialismo (colloquialism) he misguidedly blundered.But, he is still a great song writer. You've found another great avenue to learning a language. Good luck!
