Perfidia Lyrics
Song Meaning
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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 was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh, perfidious one, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
