"But Beautiful," sebuah lagu yang dibawakan dengan indah oleh Barbra Streisand, mengeksplorasi sifat kompleks dan kontradiktif dari cinta. Lirik lagu ini menguraikan berbagai aspek emosi dan pengalaman yang terkait dengan cinta, dari yang mendebarkan hingga yang menyakitkan. Lagu ini mengajak pendengar untuk merenungkan sifat ganda cinta, yang bisa membawa sukacita dan keputusasaan, sekaligus keindahan dan rasa sakit. Dalam baris pembukanya, lagu tersebut menetapkan nada dengan menyatakan bahwa cinta bisa menjadi "lucu" dan "sedih," "tenang" dan "gila," "baik" dan "buruk." Meski kontras ini, lagu tersebut berulang kali menegaskan keindahan cinta, bahkan di tengah kesulitannya.
But Beautiful Lyrics
Barbra Streisand
Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful . . .
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinkin' if you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be just beautiful I know
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I would never let you go!
And that would be so beautiful. . . .
Yes, that would be but beautiful . . .
I know!
Or it's quiet, or it's mad
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful . . .
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinkin' if you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be just beautiful I know
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And I'm thinking if you were mine
I would never let you go!
And that would be so beautiful. . . .
Yes, that would be but beautiful . . .
I know!
