“Besame Mucho“Besame Mucho” Original Song by: Consuelo Velazquez, Mexico, 1940
The following slides will show the lyrics along with some ideas for main shots and images to be portrayed. The first image is a woman sipping a cup of coffee, pensively looking beyond. Her lips touch the cup in place of the lover she wishes were there. The second image is of a tango dance in full swing. This is to imply a dance hall scene with wide shots and close ups of dancers. Some dancers split from their partners and make connections with others. The third set of images is that of a cellist lost in the ecstasy of her performance, along with the iconic image of a burning, red candle. The final image, that of a village in Northern Spain, would be a great locale to shoot in and draw inspiration from. Imagine and enjoy.
Bésame, bésame mucho, Como si fuera esta noche la última vez. Bésame, bésame mucho, Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después.
Quiero tenerte muy cerca, Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí. Piensa que tal vez mañana Yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de tí. Bésame, bésame mucho, Como si fuera esta noche la última vez. Bésame, bésame mucho, Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte después.
Kiss me, kiss me a lot, As if tonight was the last time. Kiss me, kiss me a lot, I fear to lose you, to lose you afterward. I want to have you very close, See myself in your eyes, see you next to me. Think that maybe tomorrow I'll be far, far away from you. Kiss me, kiss me a lot, As if tonight was the last time. Kiss me, kiss me a lot, I fear to lose you, to lose you afterward.
