A red, red rose  O my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June: O my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry. Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o‘ life shall run. And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve! And fare-thee-weel, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile! WordlistLuve-loveMelodie-melodya‘-allwi‘-witho‘-of Tho' -though Gang-goWeel-well Thou- ты Thee -тебя

Перевод С.Маршака Любовь Любовь, как роза, роза красная, Цветёт в моем саду. Любовь моя — как песенка, С которой в путь иду. Сильнее красоты твоей Моя любовь одна. Она с тобой, пока моря Не высохнут до дна. Не высохнут моря, мой друг, Не рушится гранит, Не остановится песок, А он, как жизнь, бежит... Будь счастлива, моя любовь, Прощай и не грусти. Вернусь к тебе, хоть целый свет Пришлось бы мне пройти!
