Music video

The official music video of the song shows Stromae himself at a filming stage falling in love with his film partner. The video was styled by fashion designer and stylist Valentine Avoh.

Unofficial music video

On May 28, 2010 Stromae uploaded an unofficial music video of the song, in which he walks into a huge hall, goes to a microphone standing in the middle of it, singing the song and then leaving. This video is called "Stromae - "Te Quiero" ... ceci n'est pas un clip" (‘Te Quiero...this is not a music video’).

In the video, Stromae emulates the gestures and impassioned style of Jacques Brel. The lyrics reference Brel as well: "Je voudrais être son ombre/ Mais je la déteste" ("I wanted to be her shadow/ But I hate her") echoes "Laisse-moi devenir/ L'ombre de ton ombre" ("Let me become/ The shadow of your shadow") in Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas".
