№1
From my still lips the smile is gone,
The icy wind has chilled them dead,
My hopes have been reduced by one,
My songs will grow by one instead.
And I can’t help but bare that song
For them to laugh at, to deride,
Since it’s intolerably wrong
To keep love silent deep inside.
№2
They never see me smile today,
From icy winds my lips got numb,
Another hope is gone away,
Another song instead will come.
Weak, I will bare that song again
For them to mock and tear apart,
Since what intolerable pain
Is love kept silent in the heart.
???? - какой вариант лучше - ?????

Я улыбаться перестала,
Морозный ветер губы студит,
Одной надеждой меньше стало,
Одною песней больше будет.
И эту песню я невольно
Отдам на смех и поруганье,
Затем, что нестерпимо больно
Душе любовное молчанье.
