Nächtlicher Duft
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Nächtlicher Duft
Weht durch die Luft;
Es saust,
Es braust
Der Guadalquivir.
Sieh, der Mond ist aufgegangen;
Leise, horch ... Guitarrenton .. .
Eine Maid in Jugendprangen
Steht gelehnt auf den Balkon.
Nächtlicher Duft
Weht durch die Luft;
Es saust,
Es braust
Der Guadalquivir.
Nimm vom Nacken die Mantilla,
Wieder Tag uns auszugehn --
Schönstes Mädchen von Sevilla,
Laß Dein kleines Füßchen sehn!
Nächtlicher Duft
Weht durch die Luft;
Es saust,
Es braust
Der Guadalquivir.
