Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como si fuera esta noche,
la última vez;
Bésame mucho,
que tengo miedo, perderte
perderte después.
Como si fuera esta noche,
la última vez;
Bésame mucho,
que tengo miedo, mi vida
perderte otra vez.
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
mirarme en tus ojos
verte junto a mi.
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos,
muy lejos de tí.
