(Sung text for setting by A. Verstovsky)

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE

Ночной зефир
струит эфир,
  Бежит,
Шумит, 
Гвадалквивир.

 ... 

Сбрось мантилью, друг мой милый,
И явись, как яркий день!
Сквозь чугунные перилы
Ножку милую продень!

Ночной зефир
Струит эфир,
  Бежит,
Шумит, 
Гвадалквивир.

Вот взошла луна златая,
Тише... чу... гитары звон...
И испанка молодая
Оперлася на балкон.

Ночной зефир 
Струит эфир,
  Бежит,
Шумит
Гвадалквивир.

Parfum nocturne

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Verstovsky)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)

Parfum nocturne

 ... 

Un parfum nocturne
Flotte à travers l'air,
Il bruit,
Il coule,
Le Guadalquivir.

Elle relève la mantille, la chère ange,
Et elle apparaît comme en plein jour !
À travers la grille de fer forgé
Passent ses pieds magnifiques !

Un parfum nocturne
Flotte à travers l'air,
Il bruit,
Il coule,
Le Guadalquivir.

Voici que la lune se lève,
Silencieuse... écoute... le son de la guitare...
Voici qu'une jeune espagnole
Se penche au balcon.
