But Not for Me
Love's Bittersweet Melody: Unrequited Longings in 'But Not for Me'
Lyrics
They're writing songs of love
They are creating songs that express love.
But not for me
However, these songs are not dedicated to me.
A lucky star's above
A fortunate celestial body is present in the sky.
But not for me
But this celestial arrangement is not in my favor.
With love to lead the way
Despite having love as a guide,
I found more clouds of gray
I encounter more challenges and difficulties.
Than any Russian play
These challenges surpass those depicted in Russian plays.
Could guarantee
No assurances are given by these plays.
I was a fool to fall
I made a mistake by falling in love,
And get that way
Resulting in my current emotional state.
Hi-ho, alas!
Expressions of regret and disappointment.
And also, lack-a-day
Additional expressions of regret and sorrow.
But still I can't dismiss
Nevertheless, I cannot forget the experience of his kiss.
The memory of his kiss
Recognizing that he may not be the right person for me.
I guess he's not for me
He's knocking on a door
He is making attempts to connect,
But not for me
Yet, not directed towards me.
He'll plan a two by four
He plans and prepares, but it doesn't involve me.
But not for me
Understanding that love is often a confusing game,
I've heard that love's a game I
Feeling perplexed about my role in it.
'm puzzled just the same
Questioning whether I am the moth or the flame in this metaphorical game of love.
Was I the moth, the flame
Feeling lost and confused.
I'm all at sea
It all began so well
Reflecting on a promising beginning.
But what an end
However, the outcome is disappointing.
This is the time a fella needs a friend
Expressing the need for a friend during challenging times.
When every happy plot
At the culmination of every joyful storyline,
Ends with the marriage knot
It concludes with the commitment of marriage.
And there's no knot for me
Regretfully, there is no such commitment for me.
