Lyrics and Guitar Chords of Besame Mucho

If you're interested in learning to play one of the most popular Spanish language songs on your guitar, this article will help you find the lyrics and guitar chords of Besame Mucho.

Besame Mucho is a song written by a young Mexican girl named Consuelo Velazquez. One of the most intriguing aspects of the song is that, even though the title translates to kiss me a lot, the young songwriter was in her early teens when the song was written and had never experienced a passionate kiss before. This historical tidbit adds to the innocence that has helped make the song an enduring international sensation.

The Beatles were one of the first groups to add to the song to their live repertoire. The melodic sweetness of this song fit right into the boys from Liverpool's early sound when they were more of a pop band than the experimental psychedelic studio sensation they became in the late 1960s. Other very notable artists who have recorded versions of Besame Mucho include none other than Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Jimmy Dorsey. The Jimmy Dorsey version spent almost a month as the number one selling single in the United States in the spring of 1944.

Young Consuelo Velazquez's ballad might have humble origins, but many of the 20th century's most influential musicians have embraced the subtle beauty of her composition. Contemporary music fans are likely to have come to the song via its appearance on several of the soundtracks to some of the most popular films of the last decade including Juno, Great Expectations and Mona Lisa Smile.
