Gasnut dal`nej Al`puxary'
Zolotisty'e kraya,
Na prizy'vny'j zvon gitary'
Vy'jdi, milaya moya!
Vsex, kto skazhet, chto drugaya
Zdes` ravnyaetsya s toboj,
Vsex, lyuboviyu sgoraya,
Vsex, vsex, vsex zovu na smertny'j boj!
Ot lunnogo sveta
Zardel nebosklon,
O, vy'jdi, Niseta, o vy'jdi, Niseta,
Skorej na balkon!
Ot Sevil`i do Grenady',
V tixom sumrake nochej,
Razdayutsya serenady',
Razdayotsya stux mechej.
Mnogo krovi, mnogo pesnej
Dlya prelestny'x l`yutsya dam,
YA zhe toj, kto vsex prelestnej,
Vsyo, vsyo, pesn` i krov` moyu otdam!
Ot lunnogo sveta
Zardel nebosklon,
O, vy'jdi, Niseta, o vy'jdi, Niseta,
Skorej na balkon!
