Bésame is an upbeat duet where Spain’s Alejandro Sanz joins forces with Colombian superstar Shakira to celebrate a love that can’t wait another second. Throughout the lyrics, the singers compare their partner to the beauty of life itself, confessing that even destiny seems too slow when it comes to being together. Coffee from Colombia can’t erase the other’s scent, chess games are won with a single glance, and a playful to-do list starts with “make love urgently” and ends with “stay forever.” In every line, urgency and devotion collide: they urge each other to kiss now, forget fear, ignore gossip, and grab the wheel of their shared future.
The chorus sums it all up: “No lo pienses tanto y bésame” – don’t overthink it, just kiss me. The song turns that simple request into an anthem of fearless passion, inviting listeners to throw caution aside and drive straight toward lasting love. With its catchy pop rhythm and the magnetic blend of Alejandro’s raspy warmth and Shakira’s fiery vocals, Bésame feels like a spontaneous road trip where the only rule is to love boldly and kiss first, questions later.
