And so I stopped a while to see the show.
I knew that Frenesi meant 'please love me'
And I could say Frenesi.
A lovely senorita caught my eye.
I stood enchanted as she wandered by.
And never knowing that it came from me.
She stopped and raised her eyes to mine.
My lips just pleaded to be kissed.
Her eyes were soft as candle shine.
So how was I to resist.
And now without a heart that I could call my own.
Oh, greater happiness I've never known.
Cos' her kisses are for me alone.
Who wouldn't have said 'Frenesi'
Long, long ago
I wandered 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
Mi amigo shout ole
It was the start of a holiday
Quiero que viva solo para mi,
Y que tu vaya por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
Besame con frenesi
Hay en el beso que te di
Alma peidad, corazon
Dime que sabes tu sentir
Mismo que siento yo
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
Who wouldn't say
And I who would have said 'Frenesi'
The lyrics of Joseph Leo Bwarie's "Frenesi" narrate a tale of a man who stops in Mexico to attend a fiesta where he sees a beautiful senorita that catches his eyes. Not knowing how to express his feelings, the man learns the meaning of the word Frenesi as he listens to the music and sees the love in the eyes of those around him. With newfound confidence, he gently sighs "Frenesi" as the senorita passes him by, pleading for her to return his affection. The two eventually connect, and the man describes the joy and contentment he feels, having found true love with her. The song represents the conquering of the language barrier to express one's emotions, and how music can be a universal language.
