Lyrics of
Cecilia

Cecilia, composed by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, is famous for its upbeat rhythm and lyrics about heartbreak. It was inspired by the Catholic saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. The original recording featured an innovative process where the artists recorded clapping and banging on wood objects to create a distinctive rhythmic base.

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Come on home

Bo po bo bo

Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation, she loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
