Some time ago, I wandered down into old Mexico
While I was there, I felt romance everywhere
Moon was shining bright, and I could hear laughing voices in the night
Everyone was gay, this was the start of their holiday

It was fiesta down in Mexico, and so I stopped a while to see the show
I knew that frenes¡ meant "Please love me" and I could say frenes¡
A lovely senorita caught my eye, I stood enchanted as she wandered by
And never knowing that it come from me, I gently sighed frenes¡
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 frenes¡?

B‚same tu a m¡, b‚same igual que mi boca te bes¢
Dame el frenes¡, qui mi locura te di¢, quien si no fui yo
Pudo ense¤arte el camino del amor, muerto mi altivez
Cuando mi orgullo rodo a tus pies
Quiero que vivas solo para m¡, y que tu vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti, b‚same con frenes¡
Dame la luz que tiene tu mirar, y la ansiedad que entre tus labios vi
Esa locura de vivir y amar, que es mas que amor frenes¡
Hay en el beso que te di, alma, piedad, coraz¢n
Dime que sabes tu sentir, lo mismo que siento yo
Quiero que vivas solo para m¡, y que tu vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea no mas de ti, b‚same con frenes¡
