День святого Валентина. В 2025 году отмечают 14 Февраля.

Is it really love?
or is it just a passing feeling
am I not convinced?
a bit uncertain of the feeling
Is it the way you make me feel?
so warm with joy and laughter
or could it be the happiness
from moments spent together
The lasting bliss, the kiss I miss,
The sweetest thoughts without a touch
The heart that hurts and bears a scar
thinking how far away you are
You’re on my mind most of the day
And at night I go to bed and pray
An angel soft and gentle as you
Would make my sweetest dreams come true
Thinking about you alone or in class
Writing your name on my bathroom window glass
Wishing you were here
To love hold and care
Wishing I had you with me
To cherish and to stare
Into your soft and beautiful eyes
As we both travel to the skies
And mingle with the stars above
But is it really love?

A Valentine Is Nothing Like
A Valentine is nothing like
A chocolate or a rose.
For in a week these shall be gone,
But Valentines remain.
If love were always sweet to tongue
Or fragrant to the nose,
Each day would be like Valentine's,
And we would go insane.
A Valentine just hangs around
Waiting to be kissed
Long after special days have passed
And every days are here.
So one is wise to choose one well
And chocolates to resist.
For in the midst of mania
It's nice to have one near.

Любимая желанная моя,
С днём всех влюбленных поздравляю я тебя:
Ты больше всех мне дорога,
Любимей нет, не будет никогда.
Святого Валентина чтит Земля,
Планета от любви сошла с ума,
И я схожу, желая лишь тебя.
Любовь моя, спасай скорей меня!

Happiness Is Not a Tended Rose
Happiness is not a tended rose
Amid the prescient beauty of a garden:
Perhaps one senses soon some gate may close;
Perhaps one senses soon the earth will harden.
Years come and go like waves upon a shore,
Violent or peaceful with the wind.
After one has given up on more,
Love waits within the heart, its passion thinned.
Even in a passage void of light,
Nether windings black with rage and grief,
There are waters sweet with lost delight
In which one finds a strong, serene belief.
No happiness can overcome life's pain
Except one love, and love give life again.

My Love Is Both a Hunger and a Giving
My love is both a hunger and a giving,
A need to have and also to bestow,
A lavish lust for flesh and yet a yearning
For beauty as austere as polished stone.
I want more than my life your happiness,
And yet my happiness depends on you.
Like a child I linger in your shadow
While like a parent I take you in my arms.
I want to be the sun to fill your sky
While like a rose I open to your smile.
I want to be the air you breathe, your music,
While like the sand I wait upon your sea.
So like and unlike, my love is doubly bonded,
The joys of giving and receiving joined.
This day of love it is my gift to you,
A heart you can consume yet keep forever.

Забеpи меня в сказочный миp,
Где я бyдy одна с тобой.
Мы yстpоим там пpаздничный пиp,
Пpедадимся любви неземной.
Чтобы видеть могла я твой лик
И касаться тебя pyкой.
Дай мне счастья хотя бы на миг,
Весь отдайся лишь мне одной.
Подаpи мне любовь свою.
Бyдь со мною самим собой.
Лаской дyшy согpей мою.
Окyнись в волшебство со мной.

Пyсть невзгоды жизни пpолетают мимо,
Как pyчей весною пyсть игpает кpовь!
Я тебе желаю быть всегда любимой
И в любые годы чyвствовать любовь.

Поздравляю тебя, мой любимый,
С Днем почтенного Валентина.
Он влюблённым надежду давал,
Тайным браком соединял.
И погиб за влюбленных. За нас.
Его подвиг мы чтим и сейчас.
Пусть же день Валентина святого
Будет праздником нашего дома.
Чтобы вечно любовь в нём цвела
И теплом наполняла сердца.
Поздравляю тебя, мой любимый,
С Днём добрейшего Валентина.

Valentine's for Mothers, Too
Valentine's for mothers, too-
A time to celebrate
Love in all its symphony,
Each gift of fertile fate.
No pasture is more rich in grass;
The sea is not so full;
In heaven all the stars are not
Near so plentiful,
Each mother's heart to fill.

За твою милyю yлыбкy,
За твои каpие глаза
Hа небе ангелы деpyтся,
А на земле стpадаю Я!

Will You Be My Valentine
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
You are like a tossing sea
And I am like your shores.
You are like an endless wave
And I your waiting sand.
And I will wait forever as
You come and smooth my hand.
I will wait forever, yet
You are a part of me.
I hold you in my arms, while you
Come to me endlessly.
Will you be my Valentine?
I know that I am yours.
I love you with a love that yearns
To be your golden shores.

Вся наша жизнь подобна каравану,
Любовь бредет сквозь бури и дожди.
Мы ищем свет любви, а нам сулят обманы
Неискренние звезды впереди.

Пускай в нас чувства вспыхивают рано,
Пусть властвует надежда над бедой...
И ту звезду, губительницу караванов,
Не спутать нам бы с утренней звездой.
