Текст песни Виктор Череповский - Диане Гамидовой - Уильям Шекспир, сонет 17

How do I assure your valor
Those who come to my page ?
But God knows that this modest verse
Can not say more than the tomb .
Try it , I leave your portrait ,
Show verses lovely eyes -
Descendant only say: " Lie poet,
Give a person the earthly light of heaven ! "
And this old , yellowed leaf
Reject it as a gray-haired chatterbox ,
Having said casually : "The old rogue eloquent ,
Yes, truth is not a word in his speeches ! "
But before they reach your son up to these days ,
You have lived in it , as in my verse .
