About The Song

“Cecilia” is a song by American musical duo Simon & Garfunkel. It was released in April 1970 as the third single from the group’s fifth and last studio album, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970). The song was written by Paul Simon, and its origins lie in a late-night party, in which the duo and friends began banging on a piano bench. The song’s lyrics describe the narrator’s frustration with a woman named Cecilia, who is “breaking his heart” and “shaking his confidence daily”. The song has a catchy melody and features a distinctive percussion track that was created by recording the sound of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel banging on a wooden box. “Cecilia” has been covered by several artists and has been featured in various films and TV shows. The song remains a popular classic rock hit and is often played on radio stations around the world.

Lyrics

Celia, 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

Celia, 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 (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place

Celia, 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

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
