Perdido
Vaughan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost it way down in Torido
While chancing a dance fiesta
Bolero, he glanced as I danced the Bolero
He said taking off his sombrero: "Let's meet for a sweet fietsa"
High was the sun when we first came close
Low was the moon when we said adios
Perdido, since then has my heart been perdido
I know I must go to Torido, that yearning to lose perdido
I look for my heart it's perdido
I lost it way down in Torido
He glanced as I danced the Bolero
He smiled as he tipped his sombrero
High was the moon when we first came close
Low was the moon when we said adios
Since then has my heart been perdido
I must go to Torido, that yearning telude
Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido
The day the fiesta started
Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido
That's when my heart departed
It's perdido!

Perdido, I look for my heart it's perdido
I am searching for my lost heart
I lost it way down in Torido
I lost my heart in Torido
While chancing a dance fiesta
During a dance party, I took a chance
Bolero, he glanced as I danced the Bolero
As I danced Bolero, he looked at me
He said taking off his sombrero: "Let's meet for a sweet fiesta"
He took off his hat and asked me to meet him for a party
High was the sun when we first came close
We met during the day when the sun was high
Low was the moon when we said adios
We said goodbye during the night when the moon was low
Perdido, since then has my heart been perdido
Ever since, I lost my heart, It's been lost
I know I must go to Torido, that yearning to lose perdido
I feel like I need to visit Torido to overcome this feeling of being lost
He smiled as he tipped his sombrero
He smiled and tipped his hat
Since then has my heart been perdido
Since then, my heart has been lost
That yearning telude
That urge or desire to go back is growing stronger.
Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido oeoeoeoe Perdido
Lost, lost, lost
The day the fiesta started
On the day the party started
That's when my heart departed
That's when I lost my heart
It's perdido!
My heart is lost
