it might as well be spring

• bir başka richard rogers&lorenz hart eseri, güzelinden bir caz standardı.
  
  nina simone, bu şarkıyı daha pek çok şarkıyı da söyledigi gibi enfes söyler. sözleri de bir acayiptir. kukla mukla filan der arada. kafayı ilkbaharla bozmuş birinin şarkısı gibi görünse de nina simone sayesinde ortalıgı huzur ve sükunet kaplar. brad mehldau kişisi de el atmış buna ama çok süper olmamış bence. çok süperi nedir derseniz (bkz: bewitched bothered and bewildered)
  
  the things i used to like
  i don't like anymore
  i want a lot of other things
  i've never had before
  
  it's just like my mama says
  i sit around and mope
  pretending that i'm so wonderful
  and knowing i'm adored
  
  i'm as restless
  as a willow in a windstorm
  i'm as jumpy
  as a puppet on a string
  i'd say that i had spring fever
  buy i know it isn't spring
  
  i'm as starry eyed
  and gravely discontented
  like a nightingale
  without a song to sing
  oh why should i have spring fever
  when it isn't even spring
  
  i keep wishing
  i was somewhere else
  walking down
  a strange new street
  
  hearing words
  that i have never never heard
  from a man
  i've yet to meet
  
  i'm as busy
  as a spider spinning daydreams
  i'm as giddy
  as a baby on a swing
  i haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
  or a robin or a bluebird on the wing
  
  but i feel so gay
  in a melancholy way
  that it might as well be spring
  it might as well be
  it might as well be
  it might as well be spring
