la ultima vez…Consuelo Velazquez

26 January 2005

Consuelo Velázquez died Saturday night. She was 88, though claimed to be a mere 84. Velázquez, a native of Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco despite her career as a concert pianist, singer and recording star, was a very, very proper Mexican Señorita, indeed. In 1941, when she was 25 she had never been kissed…Which maybe has something to do with the poinancy and staying power of one of the greatest pop songs of the last century, recorded by everyone from Pedro Infante to Placido Domingez to the Beatles to those incurable romantics, the Soviet Army Chorus.

Besame Mucho

Besame, besame mucho,Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez

Besame, besame mucho,Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte despues.

Quiero mirarme en tus ojos,Tenerte muy cerca, verte junto a mi.

Piensa que tal vez mañanaYo ya estare lejos, Muy lejos de aqui.

Besame, besame mucho,Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vez.

Besame, besame mucho, Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte despues.
