To you my heart cries out "perfidia" For I found you, the love of my life In somebody else's arms Your eyes are echoing perfidia Forgetful of our promise of love You're sharing another's charms With a sad lament, my dreams Have faded like a broken melody; While the gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools we mortals be And yet I know my love was not for you And so I'll take it back with a sigh Perfidious one, good-bye [instrumental interlude] With a sad lament, my dreams Have faded like a broken melody; While the gods of love look down and laugh At what romantic fools we mortals be And yet I know my love was not for you And so I'll take it back with a sigh Perfidious one, good-bye Good-bye!
