Pablo salió del hospital vestido de limpiadora , con bata y etiqueta, según que se llamaba Sandra, y con las llaves de un coche desconocido.

Creo que nunca he usado esa palabra, ni la he oído más que en el bolero llamado Frenesí, que dice así:
Quiero que vivas solo para mí
y que tú vayas por donde yo voy
para que mi alma sea nomás de ti
bésame con frenesí

Today I’ve learned that there is and English version written by Ray Charles and S. K. Russell:
It was fiesta down in Mexico
And so I stopped a while to see the show
I knew that frenesí meant "Please love me"
And I could say frenesí
A lovely señorita caught my eye
I stood enchanted as she wandered by
And never knowing that it come from me
I gently sighed frenesí
(¡Ay, dolor! 
)
