Я здесь, Инезилья, [Я здесь]1 под окном, Объята Севилья И мраком, и сном. Исполнен отвагой, Окутан плащем, С гитарой и шпагой Я здесь под окном. Ты спишь ли? Гитарой Тебя разбужу, Проснётся ли старый, [Тотчас]2 уложу. Шелковые петли К окошку привесь... Что медлишь? Уж нет ли Соперника здесь? Я здесь, Инезилья, [Я здесь]1 под окном, Объята Севилья И мраком, и сном.

I am here, Inesilla, I am here 'neath your window, Sevilla is shrouded in gloom and in sleep. Equipped for my venture, wrapped up in a cloak, with guitar and with sword I am now 'neath your window. Are you sleeping? my guitar shall rouse you from sleep, if the old man awakens I'll fix him at once. Let down the rope ladder that leads to your window... Why so slow? Can it be that a rival is there? I am here, Inesilla, I am here 'neath your window, Sevilla is shrouded in gloom and in sleep.
