Perfidia
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar
Solo temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos me miran y se van

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

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
Goodbye

Did you say, Vaughn goes LAtin ? Cos south american geaography

Latins are all coming from Latinia,where Latino King has a daughter called Latinia, and were the early Roman Empire citie,like Alva Longa too.

Even Germans are Latins.

Why ? Cos Rome founded Germany,and Caliga used Prince Germanicus name to pay tribute to him. Both Brothers.

So all europe is Latin.

If u want to refer to South American, people, just ID these population as South Americans,but exclude foreigner european immigration,starting with Christophoro Columbus.
