Текст песни Виктор Череповский - Диане Гамиовой - Уильям Шекспир, сонет 19

You dim, on time , the lion 's claws ,
Canines from the jaws of the leopard tear ,
In the dust of the earth set your creatures
And Phoenix burn in his blood .
In the winter , summer , fall, spring
Replaced by a smile tears , tears - of laughter .
What you want to do with the world and with me -
One I forbid you to sin.
The forehead , the cheeks of my friend
Do not furrow his blunt chisel .
Let the great features of its
To serve as a model of all time .
And if you do not pity his cheeks ,
My verse it a great save!

Translation by S. Marshak
