Besar Tu Boca

Manuel Mijares' song 'Besar Tu Boca' delves into the enduring and often painful nature of love and memory. The lyrics reveal a deep emotional struggle as the narrator grapples with the lingering presence of a past lover. Despite the passage of time and the physical absence of the beloved, the narrator confesses that thoughts of this person remain strong and inescapable. This persistent memory is a testament to the powerful impact that love can have, even when the relationship has ended.

The chorus emphasizes the paradox of the lover's absence and presence: 'Aunque no estés, estás aquí' (Even though you're not here, you are here). This line captures the essence of the song, highlighting how the memories and emotions tied to the past relationship continue to haunt the narrator. The attempt to forget by focusing on the lover's flaws is futile, as the positive memories overshadow the negative ones, making the past relationship an indelible part of the narrator's psyche.

In the latter part of the song, the narrator admits to seeking solace in other relationships, but these attempts only serve to remind him of what he has lost. The lines 'Me engañará otro cuerpo, me confundo en otras bocas' (Another body will deceive me, I get confused in other mouths) illustrate the futility of trying to replace a true love. The song concludes with a poignant realization of the narrator's enduring love and regret for leaving the beloved, encapsulated in the repeated declaration, 'Si te amo, te amo' (If I love you, I love you). This powerful ending underscores the theme of undying love and the difficulty of moving on from a significant relationship.
