Born and raised in Paraguay, she moved to Brazil at an early age in search of challenges and opportunities. Her career gained great visibility because she aimed to make the great international successes accessible to the masses, because at that time the LP discs were expensive to the majority of people. So she adapted several songs to portuguese/spanish, selling with a lower cost.
She raised to prominence in the 1970s with her hit Fernando, a Portuguese-language version of ABBA's song, from the same decade. During her career, she has sold more than 10 million records and won 10 Gold Records, 2 Platinum and a Double Platinum, among other awards.
Currently, Perla has concerts three times a week in small cities in Brazil. In 2006, she received a great tribute to her career in Paraguay. Perla married a brazilian, who was her employer and has an adopted daughter named adult and Perlinha, currently has a granddaughter.

Fernando
Perla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
They were closer now Fernando
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
The lyrics of "Fernando" by Perla invite the listener to go back in time and recall the memories of a difficult night. The song takes us to a moment when two young soldiers, Perla and Fernando, were caught in the middle of battle, in a foreign land, fighting for a cause they believed in. The sound of drums and bugle calls in the air signaled an approaching attack, and the two soldiers were scared, yet determined to defend their freedom. Perla remembers that night with vivid detail, especially how proud Fernando was to fight for their country and how he sang and played his guitar to comfort them both. The intensity of the moment was amplified by the brightness of the stars, shining for them and their mission.
Years have passed since that fateful night, and Perla and Fernando are now old and grey. Even though they have left behind their soldier's uniforms and guns, Perla wonders if Fernando still recalls that frightful night, and she can see in his eyes the pride and bravery that made them fight. The song ends with Perla stating that, despite the risks they took, the battles they fought, and the dangers they faced, she would do it all again if she had to, as long as it meant fighting for freedom and for Fernando.
Overall, "Fernando" by Perla is a powerful ode to bravery, patriotism, and the sacrifices one makes for a cause. It's a song that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit, the power of a guitar, and the hope that one day, the stars will shine again for liberty.

Outra vez estou amando, como um sol que traz aurora
O teu amor me trouxe luz...
Sou feliz estou te amando, e me entrego a teus momentos
Teu caminho me conduz...
Sem mistérios sem promessas, sem esperas, sem motivos pra
chorar
Sou feliz estou te amando, nos teus braços eu encontro
A paz que chega no depois...
Sou amada estou amando, hoje existe um mundo novo
Todo feito pra nos dois...
Mais doçura, mais ternura, mais poesia, mais carinho pra
sonhar...

Nosso amor nasceu foi pra ficar
E eu vou te amar Fernando
