Besame Mucho
Vera Lynn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine.
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.
Who ever thought I'll be holding you close to me,
Whisspering ′It's you I adore'.
Dearest one,
If you should leave me,
Each little dream will take wing and my life would be through
Bésame mucho,
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true.




Bésame mucho,
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true.

Jesus Christ. I expected comments about Vera Lynn not about George and Spamano. After years of leaving the Hetalia fandom, I didn’t expect to find this way!

Anyways, I really like Vera Lynn’s singing and voice. I’m in love with her and the rich voice of hers. 😍

Sometimes things get broken. But what is inside is that matters. Because it is what will last forever. And it will never break.

@Xochitl K. Flores Flores you could start with Auf wiedersehen or we will meet again they are the most likely used starters and then there is lily of the lamp light but besame mucho isn't really finished but it's a great story though
