What does this sentence mean: te va a esperando?

I am searcing the net for some good telenovelas and I stumpled across one called Soy tu dueña. It doesn't look good, but I was trying to figure out what one of the characters said:

te va a esperando? - I've tried translating myself and I didn't come up with a good one. Is he saying: Are you waiting for me? The translation tool wasn't any better either. I know I shouldn't get caught up on this, but damn' it I'm curious.

Here is the link if you want to see for yourself: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xdbrvb_soy-tu-duena-ivana-y-alonso-cap-1_shortfilms#.UNjKsOTAeyU

It's the first sentence the guy says after he closes the door....

He really says tstabasperando instead of a clear "te estaba esperando" that's why you didn't catch it, you're not deaf, people speak omitting vowels and joining words.

He says: "Te estaba esperando," which means I was waiting for you.

Oh my god. I must be deaf. Thanks for clearing that up! - vengamujer, Dec 25, 2012
Yes, I listened to it and I think ' estaba', definitly. - annierats, Dec 25, 2012
Indeed he says "tstabasperando" :O) - maestroantonio, Dec 26, 2012

"Te estaba esperando" is one possibility.

There are also regional ways to say this too, which is what you might be hearing, ie: "Te anda esperando" or "Te va esperando." They both mean that someone is hanging around waiting for you. The nuance for both is that of activity.

I see! Even though francobollo said the character said something else, it does sound like he's saying: te va esperando. Thanks for the help! - vengamujer, Dec 25, 2012
