Perfidia
Boleros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
canto pues ya no puedo sollozar
solo temblando de ansiedad estoy
todos me miran y se van
mujer si puedes si puedes tu con Dios hablar
preguntale si yo alguna vez te he dejado de adorar
y al mar, espejo de mi corazon
las veces que me han visto llorar
te he buscado donde quiera que yo voy
y no te puedo hallar
para que quiero otros besos si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
y tu quien sabe por donde andaras
quien sabe que aventuras tendras
que lejos estas de mi
te he buscado donde quiera que yo voy
y no te puedo hallar
para que quiero otros besos si tus labios no me quieren ya besar
y tu quien sabe por donde andaras
quien sabe que aventuras tendras
que lejos estas de mi
The lyrics of Perfidia by Boleros expresses the agony and helpless situation of the singer. The first few lines indicate that nobody understands his suffering, and he can't even cry anymore; he is just trembling with anxiety. The people around him observe him and walk away. He pleads to a woman, asking her to speak with God and inquire whether he ever stopped loving her. The sea is the mirror image of his heart, and it has witnessed his tears numerous times due to the treachery of her love.
In the following lines, he talks about searching for her everywhere but to no avail. He questions the point of having other kisses when her lips refuse to touch his. He is uncertain where she may be, what adventures she may be having, and how far she is from him.
This song conveys the anguish and longing that comes with unrequited love. The singer is searching for a lost love and is incredibly sad because he cannot find her. The song touches on themes such as sadness, betrayal of love, and destruction.

Estas músicas fizeram parte da nossa vida. Dançávamos com carinho . Eu e meu amado esposo íamos completar 65 anos de casados. Ele morreu 17 dias antes de nossas BODAS DE PLATINA. Há dois anos aconteceu sua ida " para o outro lado do caminho ". Levou junto uma vida linda que vivemos juntos. Estas músicas fazem aumentar a Saudade que dói muito.

Manoel, I share your love for music and the 65 years of married life you enjoyed with her. Happy to know you have a wonderful family to love enjoy
I am British, 85 years old this November and I have always had a love for Latin music. The language helps the music touch ones heart.
I wish I spoke Spanish.

Indiscutiblemente, Hay un inmenso trabajo, Hermoso Popurrí de Boleros con un Magistral Arreglo, y las Bellísimas Damas que Bailan en la parte posterior del escenario, son el toque Perfecto a esa Extraordinaria Gala. Lo escucho y lo veo todos los días, por lo menos dos veces otras veces tres y cuatro veces Magníficos.
