THEY SAY THAT WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE
THE ROSES FLY AND YOU NEVER CRY AGAIN
THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS HAPPINESS
BUT THEY DON'T TELL THE TRUTH
BECAUSE A YEAR-OLD LOVE DIES IN ONE HOUR
WHAT FUCKED US WAS THE DISTANCE
TO LOVE FROM A FAR IS TO LOVE WITH IGNORANCE
YOU KNOW YOU TAKE HALF, MY HEART HALF
I CONFESS IT TO YOU EVEN THOUGH IT NO LONGER IMPORTANT
AND I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY
EVEN IF YOU DON'T REALIZE
THAT I LOVE YOU, THAT I LOVE YOU, THAT I LOVE YOU
MUCH MORE THAN I SHOULD
kiss me pretty
MAY THIS FAREWELL LAST ANOTHER LITTLE BIT
TELL ME I LOVE YOU THAT I NEED IT, I NEED YOU
HOW WILL A LOVE END A LOVE THAT WAS INFINITE?
KISS ME TWICE
TWO KISSES THAT TORTURED ME FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
DON'T TAKE SO LONG THAT IT'S ALMOST DAWN, I NEED YOU
TODAY A LOVE ENDS, A LOVE THAT WAS INFINITE
I KNOW YOU ARE GOING, BUT STAY ANOTHER WHILE AND KISS ME BEAUTIFUL
I WILL NOT CALL, OR SAY WHERE I AM GOING
BUT WITH EVERY TEAR I WILL TELL YOU WHERE I AM WITHOUT YOU
BECAUSE I WILL CONTINUE WITHOUT YOU
BUT EVEN THOUGH IT HURTS I WILL LEARN TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU
I WILL CRY YOU, I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY
I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY, I WILL CRY
EVEN IF YOU DON'T REALIZE
THAT I LOVE YOU, THAT I LOVE YOU, THAT I LOVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN I SHOULD
kiss me pretty
MAY THIS FAREWELL LAST ANOTHER LITTLE BIT
TELL ME I LOVE YOU THAT I NEED IT, I NEED YOU
HOW WILL A LOVE END A LOVE THAT WAS INFINITE?
JUST KISS ME TWICE
TWO KISSES THAT TORTURED ME FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
DON'T TAKE SO LONG THAT IT'S ALMOST DAWN, I NEED YOU
TODAY A LOVE ENDS, A LOVE THAT WAS INFINITE
I KNOW YOU ARE GOING, BUT STAY ANOTHER WHILE AND KISS ME BEAUTIFUL

Infinito means "infinite" or "endless." While it's a common word, its repeated and poignant use in this song makes it particularly impactful and memorable.

The singer laments the end of a love that he believed was "infinito" (infinite), questioning how such a profound connection could simply cease to exist. This contrast between the perceived endlessness of his love and its sudden end creates a powerful emotional core for the song, making the word resonate deeply.

"Bésame Bonito" is a bittersweet goodbye song. The singer pushes back on the idea that love is simple once you're in it — a love can die in an hour, and this one is ending, worn down by distance rather than by any loss of feeling.

Instead of trying to hold on, the singer asks for one last gentle kiss to stretch out the final moments together, even while accepting the relationship is over. Admitting "te lloraré" (I will cry for you) again and again, the singer isn't hiding the pain, but they want the goodbye to be tender rather than bitter.
