To you
my heart cries out, "Perfidia"
for I found you, the love of my life
in somebody else's arms
Your eyes
are echoing, "Perfidia"
forgetful of our promise of love
you're sharing another's charms
With a sad lament my dreams have 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 is not for you.
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, goodbye!
