Меня на шекспира пробила песня Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do (Название песни "The Evil That Men Do" является цитатой из Шекспира: "The evil that men do lives on after them, But the good is oft interred with their bones" ("Зло, которое делают люди, живет и после их смерти, а добро обычно хоронится с их останками"). Это цитата из монолога Марка Антония из Юлия Цезаря.) Вот текст:
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If only I could see her now
Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge
The evil that men do lives on and on... [four repetitions]
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
But I will pray for you
And some day I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
Перевод:
Любовь – это бритва, и я иду краем серебряного лезвия,
Я спал в прахе с его дочерью, кровью невинных жертв
Красны её глаза.
Но я готов за неё молиться,
Только её я позову
И если лишь смогу увидеть,
То за неё я кровь пролью.
На лезвии ножа живу,
Балансируя на краю.
На лезвии ножа живу.
Зло, творимое людьми, продолжает жить.
В кольце огня я крещён – это в радость, но я достиг конца:
Седьмой агнец заклан, и книга жизни открылась для меня.
Я буду за тебя молиться,
Может, однажды я вернусь.
Загробный мир – то, чему учил я,
Я ради тебя умру.
Одна из любимийших песен Bruce Dickinson - Navigate The Seas Of The Sun
Distant earthrise long ago
lingers at the borders of our minds
mysteries spinning in the dark
in the frozen emptiness of time
we were lost and we never knew
who we were or what we left behind
living half-lives we were blind
to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes
to find our minds were spinning
souls entwined in a spiral dance
the ancient ways have found us
again to give us one last chaaaaaaance
living in this place
staring into space we find
we might share the corners of our lives
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can keep
melting through the frozen wastes of time
so we go and we'll not return
to navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun
so we go and we'll not return
we'll navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun
we can go on tomorrow
living death by gravity
couldn't stand it anymore
we'll sail our ships to distant shores
purple gold and blue
living colors every hue
flowers in the garden of the gods
no one can ever know
if you never saw them grow
but this darkness is really full of light
now beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll navigate...
if god is throwing dice
and einstein doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can keep
we'll navigate...
flowers of our souls
purple blue and gold we'll find
to navigate...
so we know who we are
even in this frozen waste
we'll navigate...
living in this place
staring into space we'll find
we'll navigate...
well beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll...
if einstein's throwing dice
and god he doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
flowers of the soul
purple blue and gold
and who we were before
eternity...
we'll navigate...
flowers of the soul
