by Valerian Fyodorovich Shirkov (1805 - 1856)

Bolero
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Odelas' tumanami Sijerra-Nevada,
Volnami igrajet kristalnyj Khenil,
I k beregu vejet s potoka prokhlada,
I v vozdukhe bleshchet srebristaja pyl.

Prozrachnye beznyj `efira
Lunoj i zvezdamyj gorjat!
Otkroj mne ventanu. `Elvira,
Minuty blazhenstva letjat!

Usnul li idalgo dakuchnyj?
Spusti mne s uzlami snurok!
So mnoju kinzhal nerazluchnyj
I smertnogo zelija sok!

Ne bojsja, cvet miloj Grenady!
Ventanu za mnoju zakroj!
Puskaj nam pojot serenadu
I plachet Karekho mladoj!

Odelas' tumanami Sijerra-Nevada,
Volnami igrajet kristalnyj Khenil,
I k beregu vejet s potoka prokhlada,
I v vozdukhe bleshchet srebristaja pyl.
