about

Frenesi
by Alberto Dominguez (for the marimba)
adapted into a standard by Leonard Whitcup
1939

Frenesi means "Frenzy" in Spanish.

lyrics

- - - - -

Long, long ago, I wandered down into old Mexico
There at a dance, I met first new romance!

Moon was shining bright,
And I could hear laughing voices in the night!
Everyone was gay, it was the start of a holiday!

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 come 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?
