Eso Beso
Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark
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

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.

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.
