Phyllis Dillon’s sublime Rock Steady version of “Perfidi...
To you,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
[Spoken by an unknown male spoken-word speaker over the instrumental interlude]
And now I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, oh, goodbye (repeat and fade)
Perfidia was written by Alberto Domínguez.
Perfidia was produced by Duke Reid.
Phyllis Dillon released Perfidia on Sun Jan 01 1967.
