Lyrically, the song is a sentimental ballad in which a romantic partner declares their desire to have their lover experience the "taste of" them for centuries upon centuries, promising a deep commitment. It is reminiscent of the Latin ballad of later decades, which intermixed Spanish language traditions with international pop music.
The autobiographical movie of Álvaro Carrillo, starring José José, uses this song name as its title.[4]
