Frenesi
Gorme Eydie 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?

Line by Line Meaning

It was Fiesta down in Mexico
There was a party going on in Mexico


And so I stopped a while to see the show
I took a break to watch the celebration


I knew that frenesi meant please love me
I understood that the word frenesi meant a plea for love


And I could say frenesi
And I could express my love using frenesi


A handsome caballero caught my eye
I noticed an attractive gentleman


I stood enchanted as he wondered by
I was mesmerized as he walked past me


And never knowing that it came from me
Unaware that I caused it


I gently sighed frenesi
I breathed out the word frenesi quietly


He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
He paused and looked into my eyes


My lips just pleaded to be kissed
I hoped for a kiss from him


His eyes were soft as candles shined
His eyes were gentle and bright


So how was I to resist?
How could I say no?


And I without a heart to call my own
I had no heart of my own


A greatest happiness I've never known
I experienced unparalleled joy


Because his kisses are for me alone
Because he only kissed me


Who wouldn't say frenesi?
Who wouldn't express their love with frenesi?


Long, long ago
A very long time ago


I wondered down into Old Mexico
I traveled to historic Mexico


There, at a dance
At a dance event


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


Moon was shining bright
The moon was exceptionally bright


And I could hear laughing voices in the night
I could hear happy laughter in the nighttime


Everyone was gay
Everyone was joyful


It was the start of a holiday.
It marked the beginning of a vacation


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


why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
And for you to follow me wherever I go


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


Besame con frenesi
Kiss me passionately with frenesi


Hay en el beso que te di
There was passion in the kiss I gave you


Alma, vida why Corazon
Soul, life, and heart


Dime que sabes to sentir
Tell me that you know how to feel


Lo mismo que siento yo
The same way that I feel

Quiero que vivas sólo para mí
que tú vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea nomás de ti
Bésame con frenesí

Hay en el beso que te di
Alma, piedad, Corazón
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
Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say frenesi?
