Spanish term or phrase: desde aqui te lo digo
Hello,
What would be a good translation for "desde aqui te lo digo".

A young boy, excited at being on camera proclaims his love for his girlfriend. "Te quiero Elena, te quiero. Desde aqui te lo digo".

I'm telling you right here sounds a little awkward and unnatural to me. Any other sugestions? Thanks

  -> Thanks, Stefano. I remember a few times seeing billboard proposals in the U.S. and wondered what would happen if the girl said no . . .
agree  James A. Walsh: Yes, I like the childlike enthusiasm of "in front of the world" (even if it was only local TV from rural Extremadura, that's how a youngster would think). Hope you're having a good one ;-)
