Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como si fuera esta noche
La última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y
Perderte después
mirarme en tus ojos,
Verte junto a mi
Piensa que tal vez mañana,
Yo ya estaré lejos, muy legos de ti.
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y
Perderte después.
Y es que tengo mucho miedo,
Tanto, tanto, tanto miedo,
A Perderte después.
In this song, Carmen McRae and Dave Brubeck are performing a beautiful rendition of the classic Mexican love song Besame Mucho. The lyrics describe the intense passion and fear that the singer feels towards their lover. The first verse sets the tone for the song, as the singer implores their lover to kiss them as if it were the last time. They are consumed by the fear of losing this person that they hold so dearly.
The second verse further emphasizes this fear, with the singer confessing that they are afraid of having and losing the person. They want to be close to them, to look into their eyes and cherish every moment they have together. The final lines of the song express the singer's all-consuming fear of losing this person, a fear that is so great that it is almost paralyzing.

Carmen McRae had the voice and the feel of a century, from Thelonious Monk's tunes to bolero. I hope our grandchildren will remember our time listening to this voice and this amazing style
