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.

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.

a traduction not so accurate but worse is to stay with the desire
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot,
as if it were tonight
The last time
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot,
that I'm afraid of having you
lose you later
I want you very close,
look me in your eyes,
and have you next to me
Think that maybe tomorrow
I'll be far away
Far away from you
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot,
I'm afraid of losing you
lose you later
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot
as if it were tonight
The last time
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot
that I'm afraid of having you
lose you later
I want to feel you very close
look me in your eyes
see you next to me
Think that maybe tomorrow
I will be away
Far away from you
Kiss Me Kiss Me a Lot
I'm afraid of losing you
lose you later

@@danyagha5654 Поцелуй меня
Поцелуй меня много
Как будто это было сегодня вечером
Последнее время
Поцелуй меня целуй меня много
Что я боюсь потерять тебя
Потерять тебя после
Я хочу тебя очень близко
Посмотри в твои глаза
Увидимся рядом со мной
Думаю, может быть завтра
Я уже буду далеко
В дали от тебя

Una pena que la gente crea que es original de los Beatles

La primera grabación eran dos standars en una placa de carbon lado y lado , por uno esta joya de Chelo y por el otro , que para esos pretéritos momentos no existía el lado uno ni el dos esta la que le muerde los talones a esta y a la que sea menos al ''Vals de las Olas'', de Juventino Rosas , muy y usado y mas aun muy abusado , En la vieja placa monoaural de abuela estaba ''Nosotros'' , de Pedro Junco , de Cuba , la placa Victor de 78 rp , por la soberbia interprete Chelo Silva , autora ademas , super sexual , como todo lo de la autora de ''Que seas Feliz'', para mi, mas loca que Alfonsina , y tan cósmica y poeta como Maria Grever , y mas mejicana que Frida Kahlo , si se trata de ''China Poblana'' me quedo con La Tariacuri que canta a Consuelo Velazquez de un modo sublime ; Chelo es la Chabuca de Mexico , sus paginas son para hembras , por eso sus canciones son tan teatrales y efectistas en la voz de ''La Cancionera del Alma '' otra dama de la tierra de Lara , Maria Luisa Landin , olvidalo...!!! ; lo de Chelo es mucho y en tiempos de Don Agustín ; de Cantoral , de Alvarisimo Carrillo!!!!!!, de Alfredo Gil , de Cuco Sanchez ; toda una pleyades de machera reinada por Jose Alfredo , pero para interpretar bien a Chelo se ha de ser mujer , y si es posible una ''ADELITA'', una soldadera de ''La Cucaracha'' ; de esas que se siguen por tierra y por mar. Gracias !!!!!. Fabuloso oir a Chelo cantando , era una enfermedad!!!!, exuberante como su obra!!!.
