Soon after its released, Selena then 15 appeared on the Tejano Music Awards that same year and won an award for both "Female Vocalist of the year" and "Performer of the year". For that success "Dame Un Beso" was released as a vinyl, LP, and EP in 1986. Selena's third album Alpha led Selena to win the award for "Female Vocalist of the Year" at 1987 Hispanic Music Awards. "Dame Un Beso" has been released since after Selena's death in 1995. Selena's father still released the song in today's albums.

Esa sonrisita que viene
Sin motivo why sin explicación
why ese abrazo en tiempo callado
Cuando yo más necesito amor
Éstas son las cosas
why éstos son los tiempos que guardo yo

Esa florecita del campo
Enviada con cariño why amor
Tu dulce beso con tu cartita
Dice más why más que soy tu amor
Es todo lo que pido
Ya tengo mi tesoro en nuestro amor

Dame un beso
Demuestra tu amor con un beso
Enseña que todo lo nuestro
Es todo en tu corazón
(Repeat)
