But not for me

– Ella Fitzgerald
– Nicola Arigliano
* Mina – 1993 Signori… Mina! (vol.2)

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 gray
Than any Russian play
can guarantee
I was a fool to fall
and get this way;
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can’t dismiss
the memory of her kiss
I guess she’s not
she’s not for me
Old man sunshine
listen you never tell me dreams come true
Just try it
and all start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don’t you dare
ever tell me she will care
I’m certain
it’s the final curtain
I never want to here
from any cheerful Polly-Anna’s
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
it’s all bananas
It all began so well
but what an end, this is the time
a fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot,
ends with a marriage knot
And there’s no knot,
no (k)not for me
