Bésame Mucho
Consuelo Velasquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Besame, besame mucho,
Embrasse-moi mon amour que je puisse oublier,
Puisqu'on se quitte
Tous mes regrets d'un bonheur fait de tant de baisers...
Oui, je sais bien qu'un beau jour on revient,
Mais j'hésite, ce jour-là est si loin...
N'y croyons pas, disons-nous, toi et moi,
Qu'on se voit pour la dernière f
Ois...
Besame, besame mucho
Embrasse-moi, mon amour, que je puisse oublier,
Oublier le temps en fuite,
Et ma chanson n'aura qu'un seul mot: aimer...
Besame, besame mucho,
Si tu entends ce refrain des pays où je vais,
Besame, besame mucho,
Dis-moi que c'est la prière qu'au vent j'ai confiée...
Dis-toi que c'est le désir éternel
Qui s'envole vers toi que j'appelle,
Les yeux ouverts dans la nuit,
Malgré l'heure qui fuit,
Quand tout bas je redis:
Besame, besame mucho,
Si je reviens, mon amour, le bonheur va chanter ...




Besame, besame mucho,
Et sa chanson n'aura plus qu'un seul mot: aimer...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Consuelo Velasquez's song "Besame Mucho" is about a couple who are about to part ways. The singer is asking her lover to embrace her passionately, so that she can forget all the sadness and regrets they will feel once they separate. Although she believes that they will reunite someday, their reunion seems so far away that she cannot trust that it will happen. Therefore, she asks him to pretend that this is the last time they are seeing each other. She wants to cherish this moment and remember it forever, so she is asking him to kiss her a lot.


The singer talks about how she wants to forget the time that has passed and focus only on the love they share. She hopes that her song will only have one word, which is love. She also mentions that whenever she hears this song in other countries, she wants her lover to know that it is her way of asking him for a kiss. She hopes that he will listen to her prayer and fulfill her desire for eternal love. She then repeats the phrase "Besame, besame mucho" as if it is a mantra that she can't stop repeating because of the intensity of the love she feels for her lover.

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

La cancion latina mas grabada y cantada en la historia!..lo curioso es que cuando consuelito velazquez la compuso solo tenia 15 años!..y nunca la habia besado ningun hombre!!..orgullosamente mexicana!!

@hildaescalante507

Me encanta 💋💋💋

@ecsuba2418

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

@manolorodriguez9822

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!!!.
