Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte después
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Ay, bésame, bésame mucho
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de aquí
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Ay, bésame, bésame, bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo tenerte y perderte después
Besa, bésame, bésame
Bésame mucho
The lyrics to Francisco Cespedes’s song “Bésame Mucho” speak to the fear of losing someone you love. The singer pleads with his lover to kiss him as if it were their last night together, as he is afraid of losing them in the future. He wants to be close to them, to look into their eyes and feel their presence next to him. The singer’s anxiety stems from the possibility of losing his love, perhaps because of distance or other factors.
The repetition of the phrase “bésame mucho” emphasizes the yearning and urgency of the singer’s desire to be loved. The fear of loss and the desperation to be held close lead the singer to ask for something that he knows he may not be able to have forever. He wants his lover to kiss him with passion and intensity as if it were the last time they will ever kiss. The final lines of the song, “bésame, bésame, bésame” show the desperation and desire of the singer, who wants to hold onto his love for just a little while longer.
