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)
