perfidia (tonight)

Jimmy dorsey



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 was not for you

And so i'll take it back with a sigh,

Perfidious one, good-bye.
