Bésame (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro: Shakira]
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Ahhh

[Verse 1: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira]
I’m telling you the truth (Uh)
If life is beautiful, you and they are so similar
In the end, I don’t dare let fate decide
If there’s any risk of seeing myself without you
I don’t want to bet (Ummm)

[Verse 2: Shakira]
I’m letting you know right now
In case you haven’t noticed for a while, this is no longer a joke
Even with all the Colombian coffee, I can’t get rid of your scent
Forgive me from your mouth
But I want to stick
You want to stick

[Chorus: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
Don’t think about it so much and kiss me
Let the mysteries end
Kiss me once and for all
Zero fear, let’s really move forward
Whoever is hurt, let them hold on
You don’t have to go back anymore
Better come on, get behind the wheel
Don’t think about it so much and Kiss me
Let the mysteries end
Kiss me once and for all
Zero fear, let’s really go forward
Whoever’s in pain, just hold on
You don’t have to go back anymore
Better come, get behind the wheel (Ahh)

[Post-Chorus: Shakira]
Ah-ahh
Ah-ahh
Uhhh

[Verse 3: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
I wrote you this song and a to-do list
The first is to make love to you urgently
The second is to stay forever
The third is like the first
One but more urgently

[Pre-Chorus: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
Everything I want, I want it with you
If you are my queen, I am your king
Love me without shame, there’s nothing with you
Inside and out, I am as you see me, love
You make me better
What else can I say?
Look, let’s go

[Chorus: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
Don’t think about it So much and kiss me
Let the mysteries end
Kiss me once and for all
Zero fear, let’s really move forward
Whoever is hurting, let them hold on
Love is not fleeting
When we’re driving

[Post-Chorus: Shakira]
Ahhh

[Bridge: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
The other night I dreamed of you
The other night I dreamed of you
That I was freezing to death
Your gaze warmed me
The other night I dreamed of you
The other night I dreamed of you
That I was freezing to death
Your gaze warmed me

[Chorus: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Both]
Kiss me
Let the mysteries end
Kiss me once and for all
Zero fear, let’s really move forward
Whoever is hurting, let them hold on
You don’t have to go in the back anymore
Better come on, get behind the wheel (Ahh)

[Outro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira]
Ahhh-ahhh
Ahhh-ahhh
Ahhh-ahhh
Wow

Bésame Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Shakira]
The intro sets the tone for the song with Shakira’s ethereal vocalizations, evoking a sense of yearning and emotional vulnerability. Her soft “Ah-ahh”s build anticipation and signal the emotional depth to come, serving as a prelude to the heartfelt dialogue that follows.

[Verso 1: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira]
Alejandro opens with a reflection on fate and love, comparing life’s beauty to the person he addresses. He confesses his fear of letting destiny choose if it might mean losing her, revealing a hesitancy rooted in love. Shakira echoes this emotional tension, suggesting a reluctance to gamble with something so important. Together, their voices present a mutual acknowledgment of the stakes involved in their connection.

[Verso 2: Shakira]
Shakira takes a more direct tone, warning that their relationship has evolved far beyond casual affection. She playfully references Colombian coffee to express how deeply the other person’s presence lingers on her—emotionally and physically. Her candid desire to be close, to the point of obsession, highlights her emotional transparency and readiness to dive into love without restraint.

[Coro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
The chorus is a powerful plea to abandon fear and hesitation. Sanz and Shakira urge each other to embrace their feelings fully, letting go of secrecy and doubts. The phrase “bésame” (kiss me) is a symbolic request for emotional truth and intimacy. The metaphor of switching seats to take control (“pásate al volante”) represents actively steering the relationship forward, reinforcing the song’s theme of bold love.

[Post-Coro: Shakira]
Following the intensity of the chorus, Shakira’s soft vocalizations serve as a soothing, reflective moment. It reinforces the lingering emotion of the plea while keeping the listener immersed in the song’s sensual rhythm.

[Verso 3: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
This verse shifts to declarations of intent, with Sanz offering a romantic to-do list. Each item escalates in emotional significance—from physical connection to lifelong commitment—culminating in a repeated urgency to act on love. The lyrical progression shows the depth of feeling and the desire to turn passion into permanence.

[Pre-Coro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
In this section, both artists affirm their devotion and emotional compatibility. Sanz embraces his role as her equal, while Shakira acknowledges the emotional improvement love brings. They collectively reject shame and fear, underscoring that their love is not just emotional but transformative, making them better together.

[Coro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
The chorus returns with renewed strength, reinforcing the song’s core message. This time, there’s a subtle lyrical evolution suggesting that their connection isn’t fleeting—it’s not a “passenger” love. The reaffirmation of emotional control through the “volante” metaphor signals that they’ve moved from pleading to certainty.

[Post-Coro: Shakira]
Shakira’s lingering “Ahhh”s here add a dreamy, almost wistful texture. It bridges the intensity of the chorus with the emotional depth of the following bridge, maintaining the song’s emotional flow.

[Puente: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
The bridge introduces a more intimate, dreamlike narrative. Both singers recall a shared dream where love provided warmth in the cold. This metaphor highlights how their emotional bond transcends physical presence, offering comfort even in imagined moments, reinforcing the depth and necessity of their connection.

[Coro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira & Ambos]
The final chorus is a triumphant culmination of their emotional journey. The urgency remains, but there’s now a sense of resolution. The repeated invitation to kiss acts as a final push toward surrendering completely to love, with no turning back—only forward, together.

[Outro: Alejandro Sanz, Shakira]
The outro mirrors the intro’s haunting harmonies, creating a cyclical emotional arc. Their voices fade out in harmony, suggesting continuity—an echo of the enduring love they’ve just committed to.
