by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)
Translation by Samuil Yakovlevich Marschak (1887 - 1964)

O my Luve's like a red, red rose
Language: Scottish (Scots) 
Our translations:  FRE GRE IRI
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; 
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' it were ten thousand mile.

Note: due to a similarity in first lines, Berg's song O wär' mein Lieb' jen' Röslein roth is often erroneously indicated as a translation of this poem.

Любовь, как роза, роза красная
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Scottish (Scots) 
Любовь, как роза, роза красная,
Цветёт в моём 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!
