Besame mucho
Bebo Valdés Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera està noche, la ultima vez
Besame, besame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, y perderte depues
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mi
Piensa que tal vez manana, yo ya estare muy lejos
Muy lejos de ti
Besame, besame mucho




QUe tengo miedo perderte, y perderte depues

Overall Meaning

In Bebo Valdés's song Bésame Mucho, the singer is beseeching his lover to kiss him passionately as if it were the last time. He is deeply apprehensive about losing her and not being able to have her by his side. He expresses his desire to hold her close, to look into her eyes, and to have her by his side. He is convinced that tomorrow he might be miles away from her, which intensifies his emotions and creates an urgent need to cherish the present moment with her.


The chorus "Bésame, bésame mucho/ Que tengo miedo perderte, y perderte después" translates to "Kiss me, kiss me a lot/ because I'm afraid of losing you, and losing you afterwards." The repetition of "besame mucho" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, while the phrase "tengo miedo" (I'm afraid) reflects his emotional state of being.


In summation, Bebo Valdés's Bésame Mucho is a song about cherishing the present moment with your lover and being fearful of losing them in the future. It's about being present in the moment and understanding the value of every kiss and every touch.
