PerfidiaNat “King” Cole

To you, my heart cries out Perfidia
For I found you, the love my life
In somebody else's arms

Your eyes, are echoing Perfidia
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're shared 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 know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's one goodbye

Sock to me, baby

With a sad lament my dreams
Have faded like a broken melody
While the Gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools, we mortals be

And now, I know my love was not for you
And so I'll take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's one goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
