Literally means "I want you" in spanish, but doesn't always mean that one wants you. While in English one can change from "I like you" to "I love you", Spanish speakers usually has three transitions:
1. "Me gustas" (I like you)
2. "Te quiero!" (I love you in a soft and general way like "Luv ya")
3. "Te amo" (I love you, very strong and intimate)
1. During class, Tom whispered "Me gusta esta nina" to his best friend while glancing at the girl in front of the class. (I like that girl)
2. Ligia shrieked "Julia! Gracias! Te quierooo!" hugging her friend hard. Julia gave her a CD of her favorite artist.
3. John nervously looked deeply into Alicia's eyes, who he was dating for one year already, and said "Alicia... Te amo..." and then kissed her tenderly after seeing her shocked but happy face.

People that speak english oftenly confuse this as 'I love you' thats becuse has no specifically meaning, is something that you can translate, but you can interpretate. Its like saying a friendly I love you, you can say that to a friend or someone that you just are talking with that can evolve into something. its to demostrate that you care for them and appreciate them.

Native Spanish speaker here.
Directly translated as βI want youβ but it is often used as a casual βI love youβ among Spanish speakers. Usually used with parents, siblings, friends, etc.
Meanwhile βTe Amoβ is considered very intimate and usually only used with a partner. Even then it may only be said sparingly or during intimate moments such as the first time someone says I love you. Spanish speakers usually revert back to using βte quieroβ or even saying βi love youβ if both parties speak mostly English
Iβm leaving for work now, te quiero!
vs
Te Amo, will you marry me?

Rammstein song with spanish lyrics and typical Mexican music sounds mixed with Rammstein's heavy music.
"Te quiero puta" means "I love you bitch"
Dude! Rammstein's "te quiero puta" sounds great with those mexican trumpets!
