Текст песни Sentimental Journey (Bob Hope) с переводом

Desiderata. Desiderata. Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste

And remember what peace there may be in silence

As far as possible without surrender

Be on good terms with all persons

Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others —

Even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story

Avoid loud and aggressive persons — they are vexations to the spirit

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter

For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans

Keep interested in your own career —

However humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time

Exercise caution in your business affairs

For the world is full of trickery

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is

Many persons strive for high ideals

And everywhere life is full of heroism

Be yourself

Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love

For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

It is as perenial as the grass

Take kindly the council of the years

Gracefully surrendering the things of youth

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune

But do not distress yourself with imaginings —

Many fears are borne of fatigue and loneliness

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself

You are a child of the universe

No less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here

And whether or not it is clear to you

No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be

And whatever your labors and aspirations

In the noisy confusion of life

Keep peace wi
