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 wandered by
And never knowing that it came from me
I gently sighed "frenesi"

He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
His lips just pleaded to be kissed
His 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 his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say "frenesi"

(A lovely señorita caught my eye)
(I stood enchanted as she wandered by)
(And never knowing that it came from me)
(I gently sighed "frenesi")

He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
His lips just pleaded to be kissed
His 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 his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn't say "frenesi"
(Who wouldn't say "frenesi")
