16 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!
