Letra del Tango Bésame en la boca

Ayer tarde en Florida la vi
pensativa mirar un rincón,
sollozando la pobre me dijo:
ya no quiero saber de los hombres
ni sentir más palabras de amor.
Son tan agrios aquellos recuerdos
que conservo del tiempo mejor,
que aunque quiera volver a vivirlos,
es tan grande la pena que siento
que me mata el recuerdo de ayer.

No me hables de amor,
su voz exclamó
latiendo su pecho
de tanto dolor.
No me hables de amor,
me dijo otra vez
y dándome un beso
así murmuré…
Quiéreme en silencio
como nadie quiso,
bésame en la boca
con dulce ilusión,
y así me compensas
las penas pasadas
y el fuerte latir
de mi corazón.

Recordando aquel día pasado
nunca más al cruzar la miré,
mas mi alma volvióse rebelde
y mis labios bajito dijeron:
como a nadie a ti te querré…
Pués el beso que me dio tu boca
con ardientes deseos de amar,
como fuego mis labios quemó
y al sentir tan feliz embeleso,
con el beso, un cariño nació.

English lyrics of the Tango "Bésame en la boca"

Yesterday afternoon on Florida Street I saw her
gazing thoughtfully at a corner,
sobbing, she told me:
I no longer wish to know of men
nor hear words of love again.
Those memories so bitter
from better times I keep,
though I wish to relive them,
the sorrow is so overwhelming
that yesterday’s memories kill me.

Do not speak to me of love,
her voice exclaimed
her chest pounding
from so much pain.
Do not speak to me of love,
she said again
and giving me a kiss
I whispered thus…
Love me in silence
as no one else has,
kiss me on the lips
with sweet hope,
and thus you compensate
for past sorrows
and the strong beating
of my heart.

Recalling that bygone day
I never looked at her again when crossing paths,
but my soul turned rebellious
and my lips quietly said:
I will love you like no other…
For the kiss your lips gave me
with burning desires to love,
burned mine like fire
and feeling such blissful rapture,
with the kiss, affection was born.

Story behind the Tango Bésame en la boca

The lyrics of “Bésame en la boca” portray a poignant scene on Florida Street, a bustling area in Buenos Aires. Here, the narrator encounters a woman consumed by sorrow and disillusionment with love. She expresses her heartbreak and the weight of her past relationships, which have left her skeptical and wounded. Yet, in an intimate exchange, she asks for silent affection and a kiss that conveys hope and yearning for emotional restitution.



Symbolism of Bésame en la boca

“Bésame en la boca,” translating to “Kiss me on the mouth” in English, symbolizes a powerful emotional and physical connection. The request for a kiss, coupled with the directive to love her quietly, highlights a desire for a pure, unspoken connection that transcends the painful memories of past loves. The kiss symbolizes new beginnings and the potential healing power of love, even when spoken words fail to convey the depth of one’s emotions.



Bésame en la boca in historic Context

Recorded in 1950 post-World War II, “Bésame en la boca” reflects a period of reconstruction and reconciliation. During this era, themes of loss, despair, and the quest for renewal were prevalent in arts and culture. In Argentina, tango often encapsulated the mood of the society—its melancholy, romance, and resilience. The song’s focus on personal recovery and emotional healing mirrors the societal yearning for recovery and peace in a post-war world.
