Bésame Mucho (Kiss Me A Lot)
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después
Kiss me, kiss me a lot
As if tonight were the last time
Kiss me, kiss me a lot
Because I'm afraid of losing you, losing you afterwards
“Bésame Mucho” (“Kiss Me a Lot”) was written in 1941 by Consuelo Velázquez, who was about 15 years old at the time, in bolero style. Inspired by the Nightingale Aria from the opera “Goyescas” by Enrique Granados, she said that she had never been kissed when she wrote the song. It is one of the most popular songs of the 20th century and one of the most important songs in the history of Latin music. It was recognized in 1999 as the most recorded and covered song in Spanish of all time. The artist singing the song here is Andrea Bocelli.
