‘Bésame’ más

Mentored by a highly complimentary J.Lo, Sanjaya Malakar rocks a fuzzy Don Juan goatee and sings the classic ballad ‘Bésame Mucho (Kiss Me A Lot)’:

Props for choosing a beautiful song and doing it in Spanish. Thumbs down for not busting out a soft, unaspirated Spanish-Bengali-Italian accent.

The lyrics:

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después

Quiero sentirte muy cerca, mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana, yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de ti

Besame…
Quiero…
Besame…

Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
As if tonight were the last time
Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
For I’m scared to lose you, to lose you afterwards

I want to feel you very close, see myself in your eyes, see you near me
Think that maybe tomorrow, I’ll already be far, very far away from you

Kiss me
I love you
Kiss me [Link]

I heard this song for the first time at Olive in Bandra. The friend I was brunching with made eyes at a pretty, jailbait Greek girl who wanders around the restaurant with a guitar and a posse. I learned the singers are American missionaries, and having a guy friend serenade you with ‘Bésame’ ruins the song
