Besame Mucho
Harry Connick Jr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después

Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Oh, bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después

Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Oh, bésame, bésame mucho
Hold me, my darling, and say that you'll always be mine

This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me
Whispering it's you I adore

Dearest one, if you should leave me
Well, each little dream would take wing and my life would be through
Oh-oh-oh, bésame, bésame mucho




Love me forever, make all my dreams come true
Now, love me forever, make all my dreams come true
