Я здесь, Инезилья
Language: Russian (Русский)
Available translation(s): ENG
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.

A serenade
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
I watch Inesilla Thy window beneath, Deep slumbers the villa In night's dusky sheath. Enamoured I linger, Close mantled, for thee -- With sword and with guitar, O look once on me! Art sleeping? Wilt wake thee Guitar tones so light? The argus-eyed greybeard My swift sword shall smite. The ladder of ropes Throw me fearlessly now! Dost falter? Hast thou, Sweet, Been false to thy vow? I watch Inesilla Thy window beneath, Deep slumbers the villa In night's dusky sheath!
