Eso Beso

Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark

Eso beso ooh that kiss

Eso beso ooh that kiss

It's got something

Don't know what

But whatever it's got

It's got a lot



When we samba close like this

Ay caramba need that kiss

Hold me closer

And we'll soar

For the samba is the swingingest way

To make amor



As we dip and sway

And we caress this way

The samba seems to say

Like the samba sound

My heart begins to pound

I go off the ground

To where I'm poco loco



Eso beso ooh that kiss

Eso beso ooh that kiss

Miss me mucho and we'll soar

And we'll dance the dance of love

Forevermore

Eso beso

Eso Beso

Petula Clark's 1965 recording of 'Eso Beso' stands as a vibrant testament to her mastery of Latin pop and English-language ballads. Released during a period where Clark successfully bridged her British roots with international rhythms, the track showcases her distinctive vocal timbre and phrasing, characteristic of her work in the mid-1960s. While often associated with her broader catalogue of romantic standards, this specific composition highlights her ability to infuse upbeat, danceable energy into her repertoire. The song reflects the era's cross-cultural musical exchange, featuring a lively arrangement that complements Clark's expressive delivery. It remains a notable example of her discography that appeals to listeners seeking the warmth and sophistication of her signature style from the height of her career.
