Velázquez was the songwriter and lyricist of many Latin standard songs, such as Amar y vivir, Verdad amarga, Franqueza, Que seas feliz, Cachito, Enamorada and, most notably, of the enduring 1940s-era hit Bésame mucho.
Velázquez, who is said to have begun playing the piano at the age of four, started her professional career as a classical music concert pianist, performing at Palacio de Bellas Artes and XEQ Radio, but later became a singer and recording artist. According to Velázquez herself, she was strongly influenced by Spanish composer Enrique Granados. She composed the romantic ballad Bésame mucho in 1940, which was soon recorded by artists around the globe, making it an international hit.
The lyrics of Bésame mucho were changed into English by Sunny Skylar and the song has been recorded by hundreds of great performers, including The Beatles, The Flamingos, Bobby Capo, Nat "King" Cole, Xavier Cugat, The Ventures, Sammy Davis Jr., Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Ray Conniff, Frank Sinatra, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Gato Barbieri, Diana Krall, Lucho Gatica, Luis Miguel and Andrea Bocelli.
Velázquez also was elected to the Mexican Congress, served as president for SACM (Society of Authors and Composers of Mexico), and was vice-president of CISAC (International Confederation of Authors and Composers Societies). She died of respiratory problems in Mexico City. Velázquez had been in hospital since she suffered a fall in November 2004.
Besame Mucho
Consuelo Velázquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
besame mucho.
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine.
Besame mucho,
hold me my darling
and say that you'll always be mine.
This joy is something new,
never knew his thrill before.
Who ever thought I'd be holding you close to me,
whisp'ring "It's you I adore".
Dearest one,
if you should leave me,
each little dream would take wing
and my life would be throught.
Besam mucho.
Love my forever and make all my dreams comr true.
