ABOUT THE SONG :
===============
(I) This Song has still remained the most famous, the most popular, the most sold, and the most adapted Mexican song. Furthermore, this Song was recognized in 1999 as the most sung and recorded Mexican song in the world. According to the Composer herself, she wrote the Lyrics (in Spanish) of this masterpiece even though she had never been kissed yet at the time because the very act of kissing, as she heard, was considered a sin. So, without any prior experience, she manifested 💋 in the underlying Lyrics.
(II) More than 💯 songs having different lyrics in different languages all over the world owe or trace their origins to this particular Tune - either by adaptation or by plagiarism.
(III) More than a dozen Indian songs have been composed so far on the basis of this Melody by several Music Directors of Bollywood and other Indian Film Industries. To the best of my informative knowledge, Shankar-Jaikishan (#shankar_jaikishan) - a legendary Indian Composer-Duo of yesteryears, was the first in them on the time line. Distinguished Composers like Salil Chowdhury (#salilchowdhury), Rahul Dev Burman (#rdburman), Bappi Lahiri (#bappilahiri), Anand-Milind (Composer-Duo #anandmilind) etc. are few others to name. Legendary Indian Playback Singers like Lata Mangeshkar (#latamangeshkar), Asha Bhonsle (#ashabhosle), and distinguished Playback Singers like Alka Yagnik (#alkayagnik), Udit Narayan (#uditnarayan), etc. had sung and recorded those adapted/derived/plagiarised songs having Lyrics in Hindi.

The UNDERLYING LYRICS in Spanish
written by the Composer:
==============================
Bésame,
bésame mucho -
como si fuera esta noche
la ultima vez.
Bésame,
bésame mucho -
que tengo miedo a per-derte,
perderte después.
Quiero tenerte muy cerca
mirar me en tus ojos
verte junto a mi.
Piensa que tal vez mañana
yo ya estaré lejos
muy lejos de ti.
==============================
TRANSLATED LYRICS IN ENGLISH :
==============================
Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion -
kiss me as if this were to be
our very last night.
Kiss me now,
kiss me with passion -
for you I may never-more see
once past early light.
I want to hold you so closely,
look into your eyes to find
you mirroring me.
I’m sure dawn will find me lonely
cast away so far behind
where you then will be.
