Текст песни The Sonnet Song (MC Lars) с переводом

«Shall I compare thee to a, summer’s day?

Thou art, more lovely and more temperate»

Maybe you might know these rhymes?

They are from a sonnet that

Shakespeare wrote long ago

Fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme

«What is pentameter?» Let’s take a look?

Five pairs of syllables, where rhythm is the hook

Leaving Petrarch shook with Shakespeare’s twist

Unstressed stressed and it sounds like this

«But soft what light through yonder window breaks?»

Helping actors learn their lines to minimize mistakes

'Cause life is complicated, hardly idyllic

Like an amphibrach mixed with a foot so dactylic

«Shall I compare thee to a, summer’s day?

Thou art, more lovely and more temperate»

Maybe you might know these rhymes?

They are from a sonnet that

Shakespeare wrote long ago

Fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

What do we know about Shakespeare’s life?

No tell-all biographies penned by his wife

So we look to the sonnets, and read what they say

Who was the Dark Lady? Who was Anne Hathaway?

And was Shakespeare gay? No one really knows

But he wrote hella poems showing love to his bro

«Was Shakespeare even Shakespeare?» Many scholars want to know

By any other name is a rose still a rose? Yo!

Seriously though, the authorship question is a very important one

And it’s honestly worth of its own song. Stay tuned for that. Yo DJ!

This drop is too long! What is this, Coriolanus?

Rhyme scheme goes AB AB CD CD EF E

F, the final lines always rhyme and they all resolve (GG)

Petrarch he wrote sonnets too but this song’s, not 'bout you

A — BBAABB- C DC DC D? (Please!)

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!)

Wrote mad sonnets

If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

Sonnet 126, we want to know

Where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

I don’t know

Shoot!
