It was a fi - es - ta down in Mex - i - co,
 And so I stopped a while to see the show;
 I knew that fre - ne - si meant “Please love me,”
 And I could say fre - ne - si.
 
 
 A hand - some cab - el - ler - o caught my eye;
 I stood en - chan - ted as he wan - dered by,
 And nev -er know - ing that it came from me,
 I gent - ly sighed “fre - ne - si.”
 
 
 Bridge:
 He stopped and raised his eyes to mine,
 His lips just plea - ded to be kissed;
 His eyes were soft as can - dle - shine,
 So how was I to re - sist?
 And now with - out a heart to call my own,
 A great - er hap - pi - ness I've nev - er known,
 Be - cause his kiss - es are for me a - lone -
 Who would - n't say “fre - ne - si?”
