Perfidia
Charly Galatis And His Orchestra Lyrics

To you my heart cries out "Perfidia,"
I express my distress to you with the word "Perfidia,"

For I found you, the love of my life,
Because I found you, who I thought was the love of my life,

In somebody else's arms
But I found you in the arms of someone else

Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia,"
I can see my own distress echoed in your eyes with the word "Perfidia,"

Forgetful of our promise of love,
You seem to have forgotten our promise to love each other,

You're sharing another's charms
And now you are sharing the affection meant for me with someone else

With a sad lament, my dreams
I lament my dreams with a sad tune

Have faded like a broken melody
My dreams have faded away like a melody that abruptly ends

While the gods of love look down and laugh
The gods of love look at us and ridicule our foolishness

At what romantic fools we mortals be
We are fools to think we can be romantic like the gods

And now I know my love was not for you
But now I understand that my love was misplaced

And so I'll take it back with a sigh,
Therefore, I'll take it back with a disappointed sigh

Perfidious one, good-bye.
Goodbye to you, who has shown yourself to be false and disloyal
