"Bem, Bem, María" is a song by the Gipsy Kings, a French band known for their modern take on traditional flamenco music. The lyrics of the song are in a mixture of Spanish and a made-up language known as gipsyka. Here is the translation: Lyrics: Don't go My love You don't leave me Don't go Like a little girl Don't go My love You don't leave me Don't go You approach abandonment Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem Change, change I need to tell you And this precise moment to leave Like a little girl Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you bem, bem, bem Bem, bem, bem Maria I love you, bem The meaning of the song revolves around a plea to someone named María to not leave and not abandon the singer. It expresses the intense love and desire to be with María, and the fear of being left alone. The repetition of "bem, bem, bem" is a refrain that adds emphasis and serves as an expression of affection. Overall, the song captures the emotional intensity often found in flamenco music and showcases the Gipsy Kings' signature style of combining traditional flamenco rhythms with a modern twist.
