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!
