"Perfidia" (Spanish for "perfidy", as in faithless, treacherous or false) is a popular Mexican song about love and betrayal written by Alberto Domínguez (1913--1975). 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, The Four Aces, Olivia Molina, Perez Prado, Phyllis Dillon, Ibrahim Ferrer, and Ben E. King. An English arrangement of "Perfidia" is also the signature song of the Princeton Nassoons, Princeton University's oldest a cappella group.
The song was used in at least one episode of Dexter on Showtime; that track appears on the Season 1 soundtrack.[1]
During the "Paris" flashback scene in Casablanca, Ilsa and Rick are dancing to "Perfidia" in a night club. It was also used in the Rio nightclub scene in the Bette Davis film "Now, Voyager" (1942).

Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar
Solo temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos me miran y se van

Mujer, si puedes tú con Dios hablar
Pregúntale si yo alguna vez
Te he dejado de adorar

Y el mar espejo de mi corazón
Las veces que me ha visto llorar
La perfidia de tu amor

Te he buscado por dondequiera que yo voy
Y no te puedo hallar
Para qué quiero tus besos
Si tus labios no me quieren ya besar

Y tú quién sabe por dónde andarás
Quién sabe qué aventura tendrás
Qué lejos estás de mí
