Lyrics and translation William Shakespeare - Sonnet 18 - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Shall
I
compare
thee
to
a
summer's
day
Dois-je
te
comparer
à
un
jour
d'été
?
Thou
art
more
lovely
and
more
temperate
Tu
es
plus
belle
et
plus
tempérée
Rough
winds
do
shake
the
lovely
buds
of
May
Les
vents
violents
secouent
les
beaux
bourgeons
de
mai
And
summer's
lease
hath
all
too
short
a
date
Et
le
bail
d'été
est
trop
court
Sometimes
too
hot
the
eye
of
heaven
shines
Parfois,
l'œil
du
ciel
brille
trop
fort
And
often
is
his
gold
complexion
dimmed
Et
souvent,
son
teint
d'or
est
terni
And
every
fair
from
fair
sometimes
declines
Et
toute
beauté,
de
la
beauté,
parfois
décline
By
chance
or
nature's
changing
course
untrimmed
Par
le
hasard
ou
le
cours
changeant
de
la
nature,
non
parée
But
thy
eternal
summer
shall
not
fade
Mais
ton
été
éternel
ne
se
fanera
pas
Nor
lose
possession
of
that
fair
thought
ow'st
Ni
ne
perdra
la
possession
de
cette
belle
pensée
que
tu
possèdes
Nor
shall
death
brag
thou
wand'rest
in
his
shade
Et
la
mort
ne
se
vantera
pas
que
tu
te
promènes
dans
son
ombre
When
in
eternal
lines
to
time
thou
grow'st
Quand,
dans
des
lignes
éternelles,
tu
grandiras
dans
le
temps
So
long
as
men
can
breathe
or
eyes
can
see
Aussi
longtemps
que
les
hommes
pourront
respirer
ou
que
les
yeux
pourront
voir
So
long
live
this
and
this
give
life
to
thee
Aussi
longtemps
que
ceci
vivra,
et
ceci
te
donnera
la
vie
