But Not For Me

George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin

Lyrics Translation

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me

They're writing songs of love
Estão escrevendo canções de amor
But not for me
Mas não para mim
A lucky star's above
Uma estrela da sorte está acima
But not for me
Mas não para mim
With love to lead the way
Com amor para liderar o caminho
I've found more clouds of grey
Eu encontrei mais nuvens de cinza
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Do que qualquer peça russa poderia garantir
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Eu fui um tolo por cair e ficar assim
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Heigh-ho! Ai! E também, falta um dia
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Embora eu não possa descartar a memória do beijo dela
I guess she's not for me
Acho que ela não é para mim
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Eu fui um tolo por cair e ficar assim
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Heigh-ho! Ai! E também, falta um dia
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Embora eu não possa descartar a memória do beijo dela
I guess she's not for me
Acho que ela não é para mim
They're writing songs of love
Están escribiendo canciones de amor
But not for me
Pero no para mí
A lucky star's above
Una estrella afortunada está arriba
But not for me
Pero no para mí
With love to lead the way
Con el amor para guiar el camino
I've found more clouds of grey
He encontrado más nubes grises
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Que cualquier obra rusa podría garantizar
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Fui un tonto al caer y ponerme así
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
¡Ay! ¡Ay! Y también, falta un día
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Aunque no puedo descartar el recuerdo de su beso
I guess she's not for me
Supongo que ella no es para mí
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Fui un tonto al caer y ponerme así
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
¡Ay! ¡Ay! Y también, falta un día
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Aunque no puedo descartar el recuerdo de su beso
I guess she's not for me
Supongo que ella no es para mí
They're writing songs of love
Ils écrivent des chansons d'amour
But not for me
Mais pas pour moi
A lucky star's above
Une étoile chanceuse est au-dessus
But not for me
Mais pas pour moi
With love to lead the way
Avec l'amour pour montrer le chemin
I've found more clouds of grey
J'ai trouvé plus de nuages gris
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Que n'importe quelle pièce russe pourrait garantir
I was a fool to fall and get that way
J'étais un imbécile de tomber et de devenir ainsi
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Heigh-ho! Hélas! Et aussi, malheureusement
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Bien que je ne puisse pas oublier le souvenir de son baiser
I guess she's not for me
Je suppose qu'elle n'est pas pour moi
I was a fool to fall and get that way
J'étais un imbécile de tomber et de devenir ainsi
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day

But not for me
Aber nicht für mich

Ein glücklicher Stern ist oben
But not for me
Aber nicht für mich
With love to lead the way
Mit Liebe, die den Weg weist
I've found more clouds of grey
Habe ich mehr graue Wolken gefunden
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Als jedes russische Stück garantieren könnte
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Ich war ein Narr, mich zu verlieben und so zu werden
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Heigh-ho! Ach! Und auch, leider
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Obwohl ich die Erinnerung an ihren Kuss nicht verdrängen kann
I guess she's not for me
Ich denke, sie ist nicht für mich

Ma non per me
With love to lead the way
Con l'amore a guidare la strada
I've found more clouds of grey
Ho trovato più nuvole grigie
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Di quante qualsiasi opera russa potrebbe garantire
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Ero uno sciocco a cadere e diventare così
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Heigh-ho! Ahimè! E anche, ahimè
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
Anche se non posso scacciare il ricordo del suo bacio
I guess she's not for me
Immagino che lei non sia per me
