英語を勉強中の中高生諸君は "If I Loved You" と「過去形」になっているところに注目しましょうね。
If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

My day in the hills
Has come to an end, I know
A star has come out
To tell me it's time to go
So I look and I wait and I listen
For the voices that urge me to stay
Yes I look and I wait and I listen
For one more sound
One more thing that the hills might say...
The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like the chime that flies from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook as it trips and falls over stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to prey
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

なかなか素敵な曲なのですが、歌詞の和訳は見当たりませんでしたので、英詞をしっかりと眺めてください。
I have wished before,
I will wish no more.
Love, look away!
Love, look away from me.
Fly, when you pass my door,
Fly and get lost at sea.
Call it a day.
Love, let us say we're through.
No good are you for me,
No good am I for you.
Wanting you so,
I try too much.
After you go,
I cry too much.
Love, look away.
Lonely though I may be,
Leave me and set me free,
Look away, look away, look away... from... me.
The boss gets on my nerves
I've got a good mind to quit
I've taken all I can
It's time to get up and git
And move to another job or maybe another town
The gentleman burns me up.
The gentleman gets me down.
The gentleman is a dope a man of many faults.
A clumsy Joe who wouldn't know a rhumba from a waltz.
The gentleman is a dope and not my cup of tea
(Why do I get in a dither?
He doesn't belong to me!)
The gentleman isn't bright
He doesn't know the score.
A cake will come, he'll take a crumb
And never ask for more.
The gentleman's eyes are blue
But little do they see
(Why am I beating my brains out?
He doesn't belong to me!)
He's somebody else's problem,
She's welcome to the guy!
She'll never understand him half as well as I
The gentleman is a dope
He isn't very smart
He's just a a lug you like to hug
And hold against you heart,
The gentleman doesn't know
How happy he could be.
Look at me, crying my eyes out
As if he belonged to me.
He'll never belong to me.
[BARBARA]
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me

Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
書き洩らしましたが、トーキー映画が出現したのは1927年のこと。
アル・ジョルソン主演の長編映画 The Jazz Singer が最初になります。
その3年後の映画なので、ハリウッドがどれだけトーキー映画に傾倒していったかが想像できますね。
この時代はミュージカル映画もたくさん作られ、作曲家や作詞家が大勢必要とされました。
いわば音楽が一つの新興産業でもあった時代になるのでしょう。
このあたりが欧州から移民してきた人たち(特にジューイッシュ)の才能が開花した時期にもなるのでしょうね。

(Verse)
There goes my young intended
The thing is ended
Regrets are vain
I'll never find another half so sweet
And we'll never meet
Again
I was a good sport
Told him
Goodbye
Eyes dim
But why
Complain?
(Chorus)
He was too good to me
How can I get along now?
So close he stood to me
Everything seems all wrong now
He would have brought me the sun
Making me smile
That was his fun
When I was mean to him
He'd never say, "Go away now."
I was a queen to him
Who's gonna make me gay now?
It's only natural that I'm blue
He was too good to be true
He was too good to be true
