perfidia
Leroy Holmes and His Orchestra Lyrics

To you my heart cries out "Perfidia,"
I am expressing my sorrow and disappointment to you in a poetic manner through the use of the word 'Perfidia.'

For I found you, the love of my life,
I believed that you were the one I was destined to love forever.

In somebody else's arms
I discovered that you were being intimate and affectionate with someone else.

Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia,"
I can perceive the same sense of disappointment and betrayal in your eyes as I feel in my heart.

Forgetful of our promise of love,
You seem to have disregarded the vow we made to each other to love and cherish one another.

You're sharing another's charms
You have become enamored with the alluring qualities of another person, and are now enjoying their company physically and emotionally.

With a sad lament, my dreams
Amidst great sadness and sorrow, the hopes and aspirations I had for our future together have been dashed.

Have faded like a broken melody
The melody of our relationship has come to an end, sounding incomplete and out of tune like a shattered dream.

While the gods of love look down and laugh
The deities of love seem to find humor and pleasure in the foolish and childish ways of human beings in love.

At what romantic fools we mortals be
We humans are vulnerable to foolish and unrealistic notions of romance, which often lead to melancholy and disappointment.

And now I know my love was not for you
I have come to the realization that my love was misplaced and unwarranted given your actions.

And so I'll take it back with a sigh,
Regretfully, I will reclaim the love that I gave to you, and mourn the loss of what I believed was a true connection.

Perfidious one, good-bye.
As a parting scorn, I address you as 'Perfidious one,' signifying your deceitfulness and falsehood, and bid you farewell.
