Paquita La Del Barrio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perdida..te ha llamado la gente, sin saber si que has sufrido
con desesperacion.

**Vencida, quedaste tu en la vida, por no tener cariño, que te
diera ilusion.

**Perdida, porque al fango rodaste, despues que destrozaron
tu virtud why tu amor.

** no importa, que te llamen perdida, yo le dare a tu vida
que destrozo el engano, la verdad de mi amor.

Perdida.. etc
vencida..etc
perdidad.. etc
no importa... etc.

Overall Meaning

In this song, Perdida by Paquita La Del Barrio, the singer is addressing someone who has been labeled "perdida" by society, meaning lost or fallen woman. The people who call her this do not know the pain and suffering she has experienced. The person she is speaking to has been defeated by life because she has never had someone who truly loved and cared for her. She has been dragged through the mud and her reputation and love have been destroyed, but the singer doesn't care about any of that. She vows to give her life meaning and purpose again by loving her for who she truly is and not judging her for her past.


The lyrics are powerful and speak to the struggles that many women face in society. The term "perdida" is often used to shame and blame women for their actions, regardless of the circumstances or what they may have gone through. The singer is offering a different perspective, one of compassion and love, showing that everyone deserves a chance to be loved and accepted.
