Текст песни Юрий Моисеев - Диане Гамидовой - Уильям Шекспир, сонет 99

Violet gave up early I reproach :
Crafty steals your smell sweet
From your mouth , and each petal
His velvet you take a sneak .
In lilies - white of your hand ,
Your dark hair - kidney marjoram ,
At the white rose - the color of your cheeks,
At a red rose - your fire rosy .
A third roses - white , like snow ,
And red as dawn - your breath .
But the daring thief did not escape retribution :
He eats a worm in the punishment .
What kind of flowers in a spring garden , no!
And steal your smell or color.

Translation by S. Marshak
