Perdida Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Perdida paints the picture of someone who has “crossed the white line,” stepped into temptation, and suddenly finds herself lost in a world that looks nothing like the safe garden of her childhood memories. The singer weighs her fleeting bursts of joy against the heavy fear of true happiness, sifts through the “paper flowers” and broken dolls of innocence, and realizes that every misstep has pushed the person she loves farther away. Vivid images like a harbor filled with steam-driven ships carrying mistakes, or a party whose confetti now lies in ruins, turn regret into a colorful movie playing in your mind.

Yet beneath the melancholy, there is a heart-tugging plea: she is addicted to her lover’s forgiveness and would trade everything “to be your girl again.” The chorus repeats the desperate confession “Sin ti no sé vivir” (Without you I don’t know how to live), showing how powerful love—and the loss of it—can be. Listen for the contrast between playful childhood memories and raw adult longing; it is this clash that makes “Perdida” both haunting and irresistibly relatable.
