煙が目にしみる(Smoke Gets in Your Eyes )
ミュージカル "Roberta"から

Lyrics: Otto Harbach
Music : Jerome  Kern
Song  : The Platters

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true,
Oh, I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied" 

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind,
Oh, When your heart's on fire,
You don't(must) realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed,
To think they would doubt my(our) love.
And Yet today, my love has flown(gone) away,
I am without my love.

Now laughing friends deride, 
Tears I cannot hide,
Oh, So I smile and say,
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."

Smoke gets in your eyes.

１９３３年（昭和　８年）
