Bésame (Como Un Pez)

In 'Bésame (Como Un Pez),' Jesse & Joy craft a vivid portrayal of the intoxicating nature of love and attraction. The song's lyrics delve into the overwhelming emotions that arise when one is deeply infatuated with another person. The opening lines highlight the irresistible allure of the beloved's lips and eyes, which leave the narrator breathless and with a racing heart. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the all-consuming power of love and desire.

The metaphor of a fish underwater is central to the song, symbolizing the narrator's sense of being completely immersed in their feelings. Just as a fish is surrounded by water, the narrator is enveloped by their lover's gaze and touch. The comparison to a fish also suggests a sense of dependency and vulnerability, as the narrator feels they cannot live without the presence of their beloved. The repeated plea to 'Bésame' (Kiss me) underscores the urgency and intensity of their longing.

Jesse & Joy's use of sensory imagery, such as 'canela dorada' (golden cinnamon) to describe the lover's skin, adds a layer of sensuality to the song. This imagery, combined with the invitation to dance until dawn, paints a picture of a passionate and almost dreamlike connection. The song captures the essence of being so deeply in love that every moment spent together feels magical and transformative. Through 'Bésame (Como Un Pez),' Jesse & Joy convey the magnetic pull of love and the way it can make the world around you fade away, leaving only the beloved in sharp focus.
