Besos Y Cerezas

The song 'Besos Y Cerezas' by Ramón Ayala is a romantic ballad that uses the metaphor of cherries to describe the irresistible and addictive nature of kisses in the throes of love. The lyrics suggest that once you start kissing, it's hard to stop, much like how eating the first cherry leads to wanting more. The comparison emphasizes the sweetness and pleasure derived from both kisses and cherries, highlighting the sensory experience of love and desire.

Ramón Ayala, often known as the 'King of the Accordion,' is a Mexican musician and songwriter renowned for his contributions to norteño and conjunto music. His songs often revolve around themes of love, heartache, and joy. In 'Besos Y Cerezas,' Ayala captures the fervent longing of a lover who is enchanted by the lips of his beloved, comparing them to ripe, red cherries. The repetition of the desire to taste the 'sweet juice of the cherry' from the loved one's lips underlines the depth of the protagonist's passion.

The song's chorus, which repeats the desire for kisses filled with love and tenderness, serves as a celebration of the joy and illusion that love brings. The use of the word 'illusion' can imply both the dreamlike state that love induces and the potential for deception or fleetingness in romantic relationships. However, the overall tone of the song is one of deep affection and the happiness that the lover finds in the simple act of kissing his beloved.
