Frenesi
Dominguez Lyrics

Some time ago
The story starts from some past time, specifying no particular date.

I wandered down into old Mexico
The singer traveled to Mexico.

While I was there
Continuing the story, while the singer was in Mexico.

I felt romance everywhere
The artist felt a romantic atmosphere all around.

Moon was shining bright
The moon was shining bright, possibly indicating a night time setting.

And I could hear laughing voices in the night
The singer could audibly perceive jovial sound during the night.

Everyone was gay
Everyone appeared to be happy and in high spirits.

This was the start of their holiday
The artist observed that this was the initiation of their festival.

It was fiesta down in Mexico
A festival was underway in Mexico.

And so I stopped a while to see the show
The artist paused to admire the spectacle.

I knew that frenesí meant "Please love me"
The singer was acquainted with the meaning of the Spanish word "frenesí" which connotes a plea for love.

And I could say frenesí
The artist could articulate the word "frenesí".

A lovely señorita caught my eye
An attractive young lady captured the singer's attention.

I stood enchanted as she wandered by
The singer was fascinated as the young lady walked past him.

And never knowing that it come from me
The singer was unaware that his sigh hinted of "frenesí".

I gently sighed frenesí
The artist's sigh contained the word "frenesí" which he gently exhaled.

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine
The young lady paused and looked up into the artist's eyes.

Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
The young lady's lips gave a subtle hint of desire for a kiss.

Her eyes were soft as candle-shine
The young lady's eyes shone softly, possibly akin to the light of a candle.

So how was I to resist?
The artist was flustered by the young lady's beauty and affectionate gestures.

And now without a heart to call my own
The artist's heart was wholly devoted to the young lady.

A greater happiness I've never known
The artist had never been happier than he was with the young lady.

Because her kisses are for me alone
The singer was overjoyed knowing that the young lady's kisses were exclusively meant for him.

Who wouldn't say frenesí?
The artist asked a rhetorical question about who would resist the urge to say "frenesí" when enamored.

Bésame tu a mí
The young lady addressed the singer, saying "kiss me like I kissed you".

Bésame igual que mi boca te besó
The young lady urged the singer to kiss her in the same way she had kissed him before.

Dame el frenesí
The young lady explicitly requested the singer to give her the frenzy of love.

Qui mi locura te dió
The young lady affirmed that the artist's madness or frenzy of love came from her.

Quien si no fui yo
The young lady questioned who else but her could have shown the artist the path of love.

Pudo enseñarte el camino del amor
She noted that she could have taught him the way of love.

Muerto mi altivez
The young lady conceded to having lost her pride.

Cuando mi orgullo rodo a tus pies
The young lady humbled herself as she placed her pride beneath the artist's feet.

Quiero que vivas solo para mí
The young lady desired that the artist's life be solely for her.

Why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
She requested him to follow her wherever she goes.

Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
So that her soul belongs to him only, and no one else.

Bésame con frenesí
She reiterated her earlier request for him to kiss her fervently.

Dame la luz que tiene tu mirar
The young lady requested for the light that shone in his eyes.

Why la ansiedad que entre tus labios vi
She also requested the eagerness that she had observed in his lips.

Esa locura de vivir why amar
The young lady desired the madness of living and loving, the same that she experienced.

Que es mas que amor frenesí
She clarified that this frenzied state of love was greater than mere love itself.

Hay en el beso que te di
She pointed out that the kiss she gave him

Alma, piedad, corazón
contained soul, compassion, and heart.

Dime que sabes tu sentir
She requested that the singer affirms feeling the same way she does.

Lo mismo que siento yo
She sought confirmation that the artist feels the same as she does.

Quiero que vivas solo para mí
The young lady's testimony remained the same throughout the song.

Why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
She reiterates her desire for the artist to follow her wherever she goes.

Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
Ensuring the singer's soul belongs solely to her.

Bésame con frenesí
And finally, she murmurs to him to kiss her passionately.
