perfidia
Mambo All Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
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 find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
Goodbye
