In 1943, Sara Montiel started getting involved in show business after winning a new talent contest sponsored by a local filming company. Her debut came after playing a role in the movie Te Quiero Para Mi, directed by Ladislao Vajda. However, the newcomer's breakthrough came in 1948 with the successful Locura de Amor. In the early '50s, Montiel settled in Mexico and began her singing career while working along with Pedro Infante, Manolo Fábregas, and Agustin Lara, among other prominent local artists. In 1954, the acclaimed actress had the opportunity to work along with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster in the making of Veracruz.
Montiel rose to Latin music stardom with the release of El Ultimo Cuplé (aka The Last Torch Song) movie soundtrack. During the 1970s, she toured the world leading celebrated musicals such as Saritísima, Increíble Sara, Super Sara Show, and Doña Sara de la Mancha. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
Perfidia
Sara Montiel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tanto, que ya no puedo sollozar
sola, temblando de ansiedad estoy,
todos, me miran y se van.
Mujer, si puedes tú con Dios hablar
pregúntale si yo alguna vez
le he dejado de adorar.
las veces que me ha visto llorar
la perfidia de su amor.
Te he buscado por donde quiera que voy
y no te pude hallar,
para que quiero tus besos
si tus labios no me quieren ya besar.
Y tú, quién sabe por donde andarás,
quien sabe que aventura tendrás
que lejos estás de mí.
Te he buscado por donde quiera que voy
y no te pude hallar,
para que quiero tus besos
si tus labios no me quieren ya besar.
Y tú, quién sabe por donde andarás,
quien sabe que aventura tendrás
que lejos estás de mí.
The lyrics of Sara Montiel's song "Perfidia" tell the story of a woman who has been betrayed by her lover. She is alone and trembling with anxiety, and though she seeks comfort in the eyes of others, they do not understand her pain. She cries out to God, asking if she has ever stopped loving her unfaithful partner. The sea serves as a reflection of her heart, having witnessed her tears over the perfidy of his love.
The singer of the song has searched for her lost love everywhere, but cannot find him. She laments the futility of wanting his kisses when his lips refuse to kiss her back. She wonders where he is and what adventures he might be having, knowing that he is far from her. The song expressively captures the pain of unrequited love and abandonment.
