Текст песни Смоктуновский - Не изменяйся, будь самим собой

Shakespeare Sonnet 13

Do not change, be yourself .
You can be yourself while you live .
When death will destroy your image ,
Let it be someone like you .

You're given the nature of beauty
At the very short term , and therefore
Let it go on the right
To direct your heir .

In the caring hands of a beautiful house
Do not tremble before the onset of winter ,
And never reign in it
Shadow of Death , cold and darkness .

Oh, let when your end comes,
Are the words : " He was my father ! "

Translation by S. Marshak
