A Fine Romance/The Way You Look Tonight


“A Fine Romance” (1936), composta da Jerome Kern su testo di Dorothy Fields, fu scritta per il film musicale “Swing Time”, dove è presentata da Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers.

Dagli stessi autori e sempre per lo stesso film fu scritta anche “The Way You Look Tonight”, eseguita dal solo Fred Astaire e vincitrice nel 1936 dell’Oscar per la miglior canzone originale.

Johnny Dorelli:

A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes

But you’re as cold as yesterday’s mashed potatoes

A fine romance, you won’t nestle
A fine romance, you won’t won’t wrestle
I might as well play bridge with my old maid aunt
I haven’t got a chance, this is a fine romance

Mina:

Some day, when I’m awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you…
And the way you look tonight.
