Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte después

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte después

Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Ya estaré muy lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte después

Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Ya estaré muy lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho




Que tengo miedo a tenerte
Y perderte después

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Besame Mucho" by Cesaria Evora are all about the fear of losing someone you love. The opening verse talks about kissing as if it's the last time you'll ever see the other person. The repeated refrain of "besame mucho" emphasizes the importance of physical affection, as if trying to make up for all the time they might not have in the future. However, there's an underlying anxiety throughout. The second verse acknowledges the desire to be physically close to the other person, but also the knowledge that they might not have a future together. The repeated line "que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte despues" translates to "I'm afraid to have you and lose you later."


The song's message is heightened by the lilting melody that makes the listener want to sway along. Cesaria Evora's voice is soulful and sincere, adding to the bittersweet feeling the lyrics create. The song speaks to anyone who's felt unsure or scared about a relationship, knowing that it might not last. It's a reminder to cherish each moment together and to not take love for granted.

Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot
As if it were the last time tonight
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot
I'm afraid to have you
And lose you again

I want you very close,
Look me in your eyes
See you next to me
I think maybe tomorrow
I will be far away,
Far away from you

Translation: Kiss me, kiss me many times as if this night was the last time, kiss me, kiss me many times because I am afraid to have you and then to lose you afterward. (it repeats the same lyrics) I want to have you close to me, see myself in your eyes and see you in me....(This is the last song my husband and I danced to the night before he passed away).
