"Te Maldigo" is a song originally written by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Omar Apollo for the movie Queer. It was intended as a torch song for Apollo's character in the movie to sing in a bar. However, the scene was cut during the editing process.[1] Since the song no longer appeared in the movie, it was not included in the score; however, Apollo released the song separately as a digital single on November 21, 2024.

Production

Luca Guadagnino cast Apollo in the film with the intention of singing the song, so Reznor and Ross had written the framework of the song in English with the title "God Damn You",[2] before asking Apollo to come to their studio to work on and record the song. Within a few hours, he had written, contributed, and reconfigured things in the song (including his team engineering and translating the song into Spanish) and really honed in what he knew he wanted the song to be, impressing Reznor.[3]

After cutting the song from the film, Guadagnino suggested reworking it to be the end credits song. Reznor, however, felt that it didn't fit tonally what the end credits should make the audience feel, and that led to Reznor and Ross composing a new song for the end credits, which became "Vaster Than Empires".[4]

Lyrics

Recuerdas al decir
Que estaba todo en mí
Y nunca escuché
Un "te amo"
Yo siempre creí
Que me harías feliz
No puede ser, sí tú
No me quieres

¿Qué puedo hacer?
Te maldigo

Pasé un eternidad
Muy lejos de ti
Y mi corazón, sin ti
No late
Este vació rezo
Rezo que se me vaya
Que mundo tan cruel
Donde no me amas

¿Qué puedo hacer?
Te maldigo
Te daría todo pero de mí no queda nada
Te maldigo
