Frenesi
Eydie Gorme' Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was Fiesta down in Mexico
And so I stopped a while to see the show
I knew that frenesi meant please love me
And I could say frenesi
A handsome caballero caught my eye
I stood enchanted as he wondered by
And never knowing that it came from me
I gently sighed frenesi
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
My lips just pleaded to be kissed
His eyes were soft as candles shined
So how was I to resist?
And I without a heart to call my own
A greatest happiness I've never known
Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say frenesi?
Long, long ago
I wondered down into Old Mexico
There, at a dance
I met my first real romance.
Moon was shining bright
And I could hear laughing voices in the night
Everyone was gay
It was the start of a holiday.
Quiero que vivas solo para mi
why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea nomas de ti
Besame con frenesi
Hay en el beso que te di
Alma, vida why Corazon
Dime que sabes to sentir
Lo mismo que siento yo
And I without a heart to call my own
A greatest happiness I've never known




Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say frenesi?

And I could say frenesi

A while back in time


I wandered down into Old Mexico

There, at a dance
At a festive dance event


I met my first real romance.
I encountered my first true love interest


Moon was shining bright
The moon was shining brilliantly in the sky


And I could hear laughing voices in the night
The sound of people laughing and having a good time filled the night


Everyone was gay
Everyone was happy and lighthearted


It was the start of a holiday.
It was the beginning of a joyful celebration


Quiero que vivas solo para mi
I want you to live only for me

And go where I go


Para que mi alma sea nomas de ti
So that my soul belongs only to you


Besame con frenesi
Kiss me with passion and desire


Hay en el beso que te di
There was a deep affection in the kiss I gave you


Alma, vida why Corazon
My soul, life, and heart


Dime que sabes to sentir
Tell me that you feel the same way I do


Lo mismo que siento yo
The same way that I feel

Dime que sabes tú sentir
Lo mismo que siento yo

And I without a heart to call my own
A greatest happiness I've never known

This is my favorite Eydie Gorme song, I think she swings on it really well.

Timothy Hughes

Gorme did 3 different versions of this song many years apart from each other. This is the third one. All are great but I think my favorite is number two.
