1. Gadjo is the alias of German DJ/producer/remixers Serhat Sakin and Murat Aslan. They are best known for their Ibiza/House flavored track "So Many Times", which featured Alexandra Prince on vocals. Although the track was released in Germany in 2003, it would go on to become a major international club hit in the winter of 2004/2005, including hitting the top 10 on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay and Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in March 2005.

2. Gadjo is a rag-tag bunch of instrumentalists who are daft about Gypsy music. They sing like lovesick fools; tooting, trilling, warbling and yupping the crowd up into a storm of dancing. They carouse till dawn with their balkan melodies, swing and ska rhythms and wild songs about rambling, homelessness, infatuated accordions, gold teeth, illegal living and dodgy workmen.
From all corners of the world they tumbled into Barcelona in 2003, collided in its Mediterranean streets and have been stuck together ever since writing songs in French, Spanish and English.

Besame Mucho
Gadjo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche, la ultima vez
Besame, besame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte despues
Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche, la ultima vez
Besame, besame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte despues

Quiero sentirte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte juntoa mi
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Yo estare lejos, muy lejos de ti

Besame, besame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche, la ultima vez

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gadjo's song Besame Mucho convey a sense of urgency and fear of losing someone dear. The repetition of the phrase "Besame, besame mucho" creates an atmosphere of affection and longing, encouraging the listener to embrace their loved one as passionately as they can, as if it were the last time they may see them. The singer confesses that they are afraid of losing their beloved after they are separated, perhaps permanently.

The refrain is repeated twice with the second half slightly changing to “Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte despues” which translates to “I am afraid of losing you, losing you afterwards.” These lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the possibility of their separation and the potential emotional toll it may take on them. The following lines express a desire to be as close to their beloved as possible and to hold onto every moment they spend together as if it were their last. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces this fear of separation and encourages the listener to cherish their love while they still can.

The song has been interpreted by many artists and translated into a variety of languages, with lyrics that emphasize the themes of romance and longing. The song was originally composed by Consuelo Velázquez, a Mexican songwriter, in 1940. Interestingly, Velázquez was only 16 years old when she composed the song.
