Dame Tus Besos
Radio Macandé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quiero caminar oliendo a sales,
quiero seducir a tus dos mares,
te llevo dentro y tu lo sabes.
Y buscando en los caminos
un sendero ya perdido, en el tiempo
me pierdo yo.
Preguntando si el camino es el correcto
Dame dame dame prima de tus besos,
que me quiero emborrachar.(bis)
y volveré y volveré.
Quiero caminar por tus noches,
quiero remediar todos tus errores,
quiero verte feliz tu no me llores
que a duras penas todo son amores.
Sintiendo las caricias que da el viento
en mis mejillas, son recuerdos que tengo yo.
Cuantas noches he pasado entre tus calles
con la guitarra en la mano, me acuerdo yo.
ESTRIBILLO.
Vientos que azotan las mareas, la mar rompe
en el puerto y levanta brisas marineras.
Luna adornada con mil estrellas, no llores
mas por tus reflejos que se los lleva la marea.
Desnudando mi deseo y navegando por el cielo
en mi barquilla la luna y yo.
Imaginando un paraíso en esos mares infinitos
desde el puerto, observo yo.
ESTRIBILLO.
The lyrics of Radio Macandé's song "Dame Tus Besos" (Give Me Your Kisses) express the singer's desire to explore and experience the city's streets, nights, and seas. The opening verse speaks of the singer's wish to walk on the streets redolent of salt and seduce the two seas that surround the city. The following lines express the singer's confusion and the feeling of being lost, unsure if the path he has taken will lead him to his desired destination. The chorus consists of the repeated plea for his lover's kisses, wanting to become intoxicated by them. The second verse speaks about wanting to make things right and to see his lover happy. He reminisces about the moments he has spent with a guitar in his hands, strumming along the streets of the city. The final verse describes the singer's feelings of being lost amidst the vast sea and the sky but also his hope of finding his paradise somewhere in there.
The song "Dame Tus Besos" is a testament to Radio Macandé's storytelling abilities and their unique fusion of gypsy and flamenco music. The band's name, Macandé, is a reference to a place in Seville where gypsies have lived since the 19th century. This song belongs to the genre of Flamenco rumba, which is closely associated with romantic love, dance, and romance. The Rumba is a Cuban musical form that found its way to Spain, particularly in Andalusia, and became a fusion of Spanish and Cuban music. Radio Macandé was formed in 2004 and continues to be one of the prominent players of the flamenco pop scene in Spain. The song was included in their first album, called "Pa'Gozar," released in 2006.
