Perfidia

"Perfidia" (Spanish for "", as in "faithless, treacherous or false") is a popular Mexican song written by Alberto Domínguez (1913–1975) about love and betrayal . Aside from the original Spanish, other renditions exist, including English and instrumental versions. The English lyrics are by Milton Leeds. The song was published in 1939 and became a hit for Xavier Cugat in 1940. This version was used by director Wong Kar-wai in his films "Days of Being Wild", "In the Mood for Love", and "2046".

"Perfidia"' has been recorded by many artists, including Olavi Virta, Café Tacuba, Glenn Miller, Nana Mouskouri, King Tubby, Phyllis Dillon, The Shadows, The Ventures, Linda Ronstadt, Nat King Cole, Lawrence Welk, Luis Miguel, mandolinist Dave Apollon, The Four Aces, Olivia Molina, Perez Prado, Ibrahim Ferrer, and Ben E. King. An English arrangement of "Perfidia" was also the founding song of the Princeton Nassoons, Princeton University's oldest a cappella group.
