Farid Ortiz's song 'De Que Te Beso Te Beso' delves into the intense emotions of unrequited love and the lengths one might go to express their feelings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is so desperate to kiss the object of his affection that he is willing to face any consequences, even imprisonment.

The protagonist's willingness to face severe repercussions highlights the depth of his longing and frustration.

The song employs a recurring phrase, 'De que te beso te beso' (That I will kiss you, I will kiss you), which underscores the protagonist's determination. This repetition emphasizes his resolve and the inevitability he feels about his actions.
