Do not torment yourself…
My soul is with you, in my verse.
“Let the base dust rot away in the earth — my soul is with you, in my verse.”
Dad recorded this sonnet (No. 74, in Kushner’s translation) with Uncle Volodya — “the Hat” — in 2006, when the two of them briefly decided to “reunite” the band Sinedrion in, so to speak, a stripped-down lineup of two.
If Uncle Volodya allows it, I’ll post the original; for now — a reworking with a female and slightly Armenian soul :)
The English is Shakespeare’s original, Sonnet 74; the song sings Kushner’s translation.
Music: Vova Zakharov
Lyrics: William Shakespeare
