11. A song “Shakespeare won’t write about us”  

(the translation of a song by V.Kozlovsky)

 

True, I can’t fly to the stars with you

Even breath can’t without you,

Under feet I can see the sky.

Stay! I won’t touch you, my love, again.

You don’t hear – you’re far away

And you’ll never be love of mine.

        

          Shakespeare won’t write about us

          We’re so different with you.

          But every time that passed and passed,

          Love you, love you!
