Frenesí
russ morgan and his orchestra Lyrics

Some time ago
Once upon a time in the past

I wandered down into old Mexico
I traveled to Mexico, a place with a rich cultural history

While I was there
During my stay in Mexico

I felt romance everywhere
Love was in the air, I was surrounded by a romantic atmosphere

Moon was shining bright
The moon was illuminating the night sky

And I could hear laughing voices in the night
Laughter and joyous sounds filled the night air

Everyone was gay
People were happy and enjoying themselves

This was the start of their holiday
The festivities had just begun

It was fiesta down in Mexico
A party was happening in Mexico

And so I stopped a while to see the show
I paused my travels to observe the event

I knew that frenesí meant "Please love me"
I was familiar with the meaning of the word frenesí, which expressed a desire for love

And I could say frenesí
I was able to say the word frenesí

A lovely señorita caught my eye
I noticed a beautiful young woman

I stood enchanted as she wandered by
I was captivated by her presence as she passed by

And never knowing that it come from me
I was unaware that my desire for her was the cause of my sighing

I gently sighed frenesí
I softly uttered the word frenesí, expressing my longing for love

She stopped and raised her eyes to mine
She paused and made eye contact with me

Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
Her lips conveyed a desire to be kissed

Her eyes were soft as candle-shine
Her eyes were gentle and inviting, shining like a candle

So how was I to resist?
It was difficult for me to resist the temptation to kiss her

And now without a heart to call my own
I have given my heart to her

A greater happiness I've never known
I have never felt so happy before

Because her kisses are for me alone
I am the only one who receives her kisses

Who wouldn't say frenesí?
Who wouldn't express their longing for love with the word frenesí?

Bésame tu a mí
Kiss me like I kissed you

Bésame igual que mi boca te besó
Kiss me just like I kissed you

Dame el frenesí
Give me that longing for love

Qui mi locura te dió
That made me crazy for you

Quien si no fui yo
Who else but me

Pudo enseñarte el camino del amor
Could have shown you the way of love

Muerto mi altivez
My pride has died

Cuando mi orgullo rodo a tus pies
When my ego was shattered by you

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

Why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
And for you to go wherever I go

Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti
So that my soul belongs to only you

Bésame con frenesí
Kiss me with that longing for love

Dame la luz que tiene tu mirar
Give me the light that shines from your gaze

Why la ansiedad que entre tus labios vi
And the desire that I saw between your lips

Esa locura de vivir why amar
That madness of living and loving

Que es mas que amor frenesí
That is more than love, it's frenesí

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

Alma, piedad, corazón
Soul, mercy, heart

Dime que sabes tu sentir
Tell me that you feel the same

Lo mismo que siento yo
Just as I do
