The lyrics to Celia Cruz Johnny Pacheco Justo Betancourt & Papo Lucca's song Besito De Coco are a joyful celebration of love and sweetness. The song begins with the singer offering a "Besito de coco" (a little coconut-flavored kiss) to their beloved, with hints of cinnamon, black cumin, and anise adding a spicy touch. The singer then goes on to describe other sweet treats, such as "coco coquito" (a creamy coconut beverage) and "caramelos" (candies) that they offer to their lover. The lyrics are infused with affection and playfulness, and the upbeat tempo of the music invites listeners to dance and sing along.
At a deeper level, the song can be seen as an ode to Afro-Cuban culture and its rich tradition of music and dance. The use of coconut, cinnamon, and anise alludes to the many spices and flavors that are an integral part of Cuban cuisine. The repeated refrain of "Besito pa' ti" (Little kiss for you) emphasizes the warmth and generosity that are characteristic of Cuban people. The song also showcases the lively rhythms and syncopated beats that are a hallmark of salsa music, with the piano, horns, and percussion providing a vibrant and energetic accompaniment to the vocals.
