Перевод песни

Песня: May Thy Lot in Life Be Happy*
May thy lot in life be happy,
Undisturbed by thoughts of me,
The God who shelters innocence,
Thy guard and guide will be;
Thy heart will lose the chilling sense
Of hopeless love at last,
And the sunshine of the future
Chase the shadows of the past.

I never wish to meet thee more,
Though I am still thy friend;
I never wish to meet thee more,
Since dearer ties must end;
With worldly smiles, and worldly words,
I could not pass thee by,
Nor turn from thee unfeelingly,
With cold averted eye.

I never wish to meet thee more,
Yet think not I've been taught
By smiling foes to injure thee
By one unworthy thought;
No! Blest with some beloved one,
From care and sorrow free,
May thy lot in life be happy,
Undisturbed by thoughts of me.

Перевод песни:
Пусть удел твой будет - счастье

Пусть удел твой будет – счастье,
И пускай забудусь я,
И Бог, невинных пестуя,
Ведёт и бдит тебя,
Оставит сердце, наконец
Лёд безнадёжных чувств,
Тени прошлого прогонит
Яркий будущего луч..... [открыть перевод]
