Translation of " Bésame Mucho " from the lyrics by Consuelo Velasquez
Refrain :
Kiss me longingly long
Kiss me, kiss me longingly long
As though this night has to be
The very last
Kiss me longingly long
Kiss me, kiss me longingly long
For seized am I with the fear of losing you
Losing you hereafter
(Refrain repeated twice)
I long to hold you close to me
While gazing deep into your eyes
Making us look as but one together
The thought nags perchance tomorrow
I'll have already gone far away
Far far from you
(Refrain repeated thrice)
For seized am I with the fear of losing you
Losing you hereafter
The original lyrics in Spanish :
Bésame mucho
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La ultima vez
Bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a pederte
Pederte despues
(Refrain twice)
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos
Verte junto a mi
Pienso que tal vez manana
Yo ya estare lejos
Muy lejos de ti
(Refrain thrice)
Que tengo miedo a pederte
Pederte despues
