Lost in Translation

I often go salsa dancing on Friday nights...and as a result I have heard a plethora of latino songs from many different South American countries...however obviously some get played more than others...
...as a result, occasionally I get one stuck in my head. It's a lot harder to sing a song when you don't know Spanish or Portugease however. Still, there's one particular merengue song I *love*...there was only a few words out of it that I could hear clearly enough to sing though...and sung it I have...
...Until a Spanish-speaker advised me that by wandering around singing "béseme" I had been declaring 'kiss me'.
Mental note: seek translation before singing in public.
