Below, I translated the lyrics of the song But Not for Me by Linda Ronstadt from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Old man sunshine listen you
Old man sunshine listen to you
Never tell me dreams come true
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas
It's all bananas
They're writing songs of love but not for me
They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky star's above 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
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Hi-ho, wings, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
I guess he's not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Hi-ho, wings, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
I guess he's not for me
