Frenesi

Some time ago

I wandered down into old Mexico

While I was there

I felt romance everywhere

Moon was shining bright

and I could hear laughing voices in the night

Everyone was gay

This was the start of their holiday.

It was fiesta down in Mexico

and so I stopped a while to see the show

I knew that "frenesí" meant "Please love me"

and I could say frenesí.

A lovely se?orita caught my eye

I stood enchanted as she wandered by

And never knowing that it come from me

I gently sighed frenesí.

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine

Her lips just pleaded to be kissed

Her eyes were soft as candle-shine

so how was I to resist?

And now without a heart to call my own

a greater happiness I've never known

Because her kisses are for me alone

who wouldn't say frenesí.

And now without a heart to call my own

a greater happiness I've never known

Because her kisses are for me alone

who wouldn't say frenesí.
