Прощай, Гренада, моя Гренада, С тобой навеки мне расстаться надо! Прощай, любимый край, очей услада, Навек прощай! Ах! Будет памать о тебе моей Единственной отрадой Мой любимый, мой родимый край! Навек мне сердце тоска пронзила, Погибло всё, что в жизни было мило, Моя любовь ушла во мрак могилы, И жизнь ушла! Ах! И вокруг мне всё постыло, Жить как прежде, нет уж силы Там где юность так была светла!

Farewell, Granada, my Granada, I must part from you for ever! Farewell, beloved land, delight of my eyes, Farewell for ever! Ah! Memories of you will be my only joy My beloved, my native land! Forever my heart will be pierced with sorrow All is perished, that to my heart was dear My love has gone into the gloom of the grave And my life is also gone! Ah! And around me all is hateful I have not the strength to live as before, There, where my youth was so bright!
