Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare Beethoven - Piano Sonata No.8 First Movement (excerpt).

歌词
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
我可能把你和夏天相比拟?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
你比夏天更可爱更温和;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
狂风会把五月的花苞吹落地,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
夏天也嫌太短促,匆匆而过:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
有时太阳照得太热,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
常常又遮暗他的金色的脸;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
美的事物总不免要凋落,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
偶然的,或是随自然变化而流转。
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
但是你的永恒之夏不会褪色;
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
你不会失去你的俊美的仪容;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
死神不能夸说你在他的阴影里面走着,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
如果你在这不朽的诗句里获得了永生;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
只要人们能呼吸,眼睛能看东西,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
此诗就会不朽,使你永久生存下去。
