Bésame Mucho

"Bésame Mucho" (Kiss me generously) is a song written in 1940 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez.

It is one of the most famous boleros, and was recognized in 1999 as the most sung and recorded Mexican song in the world.

Inspiration

According to Velázquez herself, she wrote this song even though she had never been kissed yet at the time and kissing, as she heard, was considered a sin.

She was inspired by the piano piece "Quejas, o la Maja y el Ruiseñor" from the 1911 suite Goyescas by Spanish composer Enrique Granados, which he later also included as Aria of the Nightingale in his 1916 opera of the same name.

Comments on lyrics

There are slight differences in the wording at the end of the chorus, regarding the words perderte después meaning "to lose you afterwards". Considering that Velázquez may have been fifteen years old when she wrote the song, this sentence reflects inexperience and innocence. Indeed, a video from "TV Mexicana" shows Consuelo Velázquez playing the piano while the singer sings perderte después. Many interpretations use perderte otra vez ("lose you once again") instead of the original perderte después ("lose you afterwards").

    Hammer and a nail
    Hammer and a nail
    Saint behind the glass
    Holds a hammer and a nail
    Baby in his arms
    Baby in his arms
    Saint behind the glass
    Has a baby in his arms
    Watches me sleep
    Watches me sleep
    Saint behind the glass
    Watches me while I sleep
    Coffee in the air
    Coffee in the air
    Saint behind the glass
    Smells coffee in the air
    Curtains blowing 'round
    Curtains blowing 'round
    Saint behind the glass
    Sees curtains blowing 'round
    Night upon my head
    Night upon my head
    Saint behind the glass
    Lays night upon my head
    Mother don't cry
    Mother don't cry
    Saint behind the glass
    Tells mother not to cry
