to you my heart cries out "perfidia" for i find you the love of my life in somebody else's arms your eyes are echoing "perfidia" forgetful of the promise of love you're sharing another's charms with a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
while the gods of love look down and laugh at what romantic fools we mortals be and now i know my love was not for you and so i take it back with a sigh perfidious one goodbye (lyrics by milton leeds)
