Frenesi
Eydie Gorme' Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?

It was Fiesta down in Mexico
The atmosphere was lively and joyous in Mexico
And so I stopped a while to see the show
I stopped to observe the fun scene and festivities
I knew that frenesi meant please love me
I knew that the term frenesi meant someone asking for love or affection
And I could say frenesi
I could express my desire for affection using the term frenesi
A handsome caballero caught my eye
I noticed a charming gentleman who stole my gaze
I stood enchanted as he wondered by
I was mesmerized as he walked past me
And never knowing that it came from me
He wasn't aware that I uttered the word frenesi
I gently sighed frenesi
I quietly expressed my desire for love using the word frenesi
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
He halted and looked into my eyes attentively
My lips just pleaded to be kissed
I felt a strong urge to be kissed as I puckered my lips
His eyes were soft as candles shined
His gaze was gentle and tender
So how was I to resist?
It was difficult for me to resist his charm and affection
And I without a heart to call my own
I had no lover or partner in my life
A greatest happiness I've never known
The joy and happiness I felt with his affection was one I never experienced before
Because his kisses are for me alone
The kisses he gave me were only meant for me
Who wouldn't say frenesi?
Who wouldn't express their desire for love using the term frenesi?
Long, long ago
A while back in time
I wandered down into Old Mexico
I traveled to an old part of 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
why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
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

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.
