John Stafford Smith - Let us, my Lesbia, live and love - текст песни (слова)

Let us, my Lesbia live and love,
 nor cast a moment's thought away,
 whether a peevish world approve,
 or what they think, or what they say.
 The sun that sets shall rise again,
 but when our short lived day is o'er,
 one long eternal night must reign,
 a lasting sleep to wake no more.
 Let us then live and love today
 and kiss the fleeting hours away.
