Azúcar Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para que nadie en el mundo te los pudiera mirar
Quisiera guardar tus labios
En un cráter de la luna
Hay amor que nadie mas te los pueda besar
Quítame este miedo que no me deja vivir
Arranca estos celos que es veneno para mi
Cúrame, que tengo celos
Que te quiero hasta los huesos
Por eso te pido amor 40 kilos de besos
Tápame que tengo frío hasta verte de regreso
Por eso te pido amor 40 kilos de besos
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
40 kilos de besos
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Quisiera vestir tu cuerpo con espinas de un rosal
Para que las otras manos se pincharan al tocar
Quisiera tener tu alma amarrada con la mía
Y la muerte al pasar se la pudiera llevar
Quítame este miedo que no me deja vivir
Arranca estos celos que es veneno para mi
Cúrame, que tengo celos
Que te quiero hasta los huesos
Por eso te pido amor 40 kilos de besos
Tápame que tengo frío hasta verte de regreso
Por eso te pido amor 40 kilos de besos
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
40 kilos de besos
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
The lyrics of Azucar Moreno’s “40 Kilos De Besos” are a reflection of a person deeply in love with their partner, but also struggling with fear and jealousy. The singer expresses their desire to protect their loved one from the judgment of others, wanting to hide their eyes in the depths of the sea and their lips on the moon, so nobody else can see or touch them. The lyrics suggest a possessive and loving relationship, as the singer admits to having jealous tendencies that feel like poison.
The melody and rhythm of the song create a sense of longing and emotional desperation, especially in the way the chorus is sung. The repetition of “Cúrame, que tengo celos” (“heal me, I have jealousy”) and “Por eso te pido amor 40 kilos de besos” (“that’s why I ask for 40 kilos of kisses”) convey the intensity of the singer’s emotions. The song reveals a fear of loss, as the singer wishes to tie their soul to the loved one’s, even if it means death takes them both.
