Odelas` tumanami Sierra-Nevada, Volnami igraet kristalny'j Xenil, I k beregu veet s potoka proxlada, I v vozduxe bleshhet srebristaya py'l. Prozrachny'e bezny'j e`fira Lunoj i zvezdamy'j goryat! Otkroj mne ventanu. E`lvira, Minuty' blazhenstva letyat! Usnul li idalgo dakuchny'j? Spusti mne s uzlami snurok! So mnoyu kinzhal nerazluchny'j I smertnogo zeliya sok! Ne bojsya, czvet miloj Grenady'! Ventanu za mnoyu zakroj! Puskaj nam poyot serenadu I plachet Karexo mladoj! Odelas` tumanami Sierra-Nevada, Volnami igraet kristalny'j Xenil, I k beregu veet s potoka proxlada, I v vozduxe bleshhet srebristaya py'l.
