It's 2007!

Will it be better than 2006? Probably not, if the NY Times and the AP are setting the agenda.

PERFIDIA

Composed by Alberto Dominguez
English lyrics by Milton Leeds

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.

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.
