Horn Concerto (1950): I. Moderately fast

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 wondered by
And never knowing that it came from me
I gently sighed frenesi
He stopped and raised his eyes to mine
My lips just pleaded to be kissed
His eyes were soft as candles shined
So how was I to resist?
And I without a heart to call my own
A greatest happiness I’ve never known
Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn’t say frenesi?
Long, long ago
I wondered down into Old Mexico
There, at a dance
I met my first real romance
Moon was shining bright
And I could hear laughing voices in the night
Everyone was gay
It was the start of a holiday
Quiero que vivas solo para mi
Why que tu vayas por donde yo voy
Para que mi alma sea nomas de ti
Besame con frenesi
Hay en el beso que te di
Alma, vida why Corazon
Dime que sabes to sentir
Lo mismo que siento yo
And I without a heart to call my own
A greatest happiness I’ve never known
Because his kisses are for me alone
Who wouldn’t say frenesi?
