Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look for my heart
It`s perdido
I lost it way down in Torito
The day the fiesta started
Bolero,
I sway that they play the Bolero
And that`s when my heart departed
High, was the sun when I held him close
Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios"
Perdido
My heart ever since is Perdido
I know I must go to Torito
To find what I lost Perdido
High, was the sun when I held him close
Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios"
Perdido
Goodnight perdido
I lost perdido
