In 1940, disc jockeys looked to Latin America for songs they could broadcast, due to a battle between the radio broadcasters and American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) that kept almost all American songs off the air. One of their first finds was the haunting "Perfidia," by the Mexican Alberto Dominguez. Domingues composed the Spanish words and music in 1939. After Xavier Cugat's recording of this beutiful melody reached the number 3 spot on the charts in January of 1941, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman quickly followed up with their releases. The recording by Glenn Miller reached reached number 11 on the charts as did Benny Goodman's release. Other recordings soon followed by Jimmy Dorsey, The Mills Brothers, and Tony Martin. Attesting to the durability of this song, the Four Aces recording reached number 7 in 1952, a decade later and almost a score of years after it was composed.

English lyric by Milton Leeds.
Rainbow HR
To you, My heart cries out "perfidia,"
For I found you, the love of my life,
In somebody else's arms.
Your eyes, Are echoing "perfidia."
Forgetful of our promise of love,
You're sharing another's charms.
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,
Perfidious one, Goodbye.
Mujer, Si puedes tú con Dios hablar,
Pregú:ntale si yo alguna vez
Te he dejado de adorar.
Yel mar, Espejo de mi corazón,
Los veces que me ha visto llorar
La perfidia de tu amor.
Te he buscado donde quiera que yo voy y no te peudo hallar.
¿Para qué quiero otros besos si tus labios no me quieren ya besar?
Y tú. ¡Quién sabe por dibde abdarás,
Quién sabe qué aventura tendrás,
Qué lejos estás De mí!
