The verse is in the key of Cm, the chorus is in the key of C.
Kiss me, then give your heart to someone new, Darling, this is our last adieu.
For I found you, the love my life, In somebody else's arms.
Forgetful of the promise of love, You're sharing another's charms.
While the Gods of love look down and laugh at what romantic fools we mortals be.
And so I'll take it back with a sigh, Perfidia's one goodbye.
