Frenesi
Frenesí of Love: Betty Carter's Enchanting Mexican Tale
Lyrics
It was fiesta down in Mexico
It was a celebration or party in Mexico
And so I stopped a while to see the show
The speaker paused to witness the spectacle
I knew that frenesí meant ""Please love me""
The speaker knew that "frenesí" translates to "Please love me"
And I could say frenesí
The speaker expresses the ability to say "frenesí"
A handsome caballero caught my eye
A charming gentleman caught the speaker's attention
I stood enchanted as he wandered by
The speaker was captivated as the gentleman passed by
And never knowing that it come from me
The gentleman was unaware that the expression came from the speaker
I went and said frenesí
The speaker spontaneously uttered "frenesí"
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
The gentleman stopped and looked into the speaker's eyes
His lips just pleaded to be kissed
His lips seemed to be pleading for a kiss
His eyes were soft as candle-shine
His eyes had a gentle and inviting glow
So how was I to resist?
The speaker felt unable to resist the attraction
And now without a heart to call my own
The speaker now lacks a heart to call their own
A greater happiness I've never known
The speaker experiences a profound happiness
Because his kisses are for me alone
The happiness is because the gentleman's kisses are exclusive to the speaker
Who wouldn't say frenesí?
Expressing that anyone would say "frenesí" in such a situation
And now without a heart to call my own
Reiteration of the speaker lacking a heart but being extremely happy
A greater happiness I've never known
Reiteration of the profound happiness experienced
Because his kisses are for me alone
Reiteration that the gentleman's kisses are exclusive to the speaker
Who wouldn't say frenesí?
Reiterating that anyone would say "frenesí" in this circumstance
Frenesí
Final mention of "frenesí" as a concluding remark
