How ravishing the Russian evenings are
Love, and champagne, and sunsets over alleys 
And walks and the amusements in the summer - 
How ravishing the Russian evenings are.  

Beautiful women, lackeys, servants, there they are 
The waltz of Schubert and the crumbling of french bread and
Love, and champagne, and sunsets over alleys - 
How ravishing the Russian evenings are. 

How ravishing the Russian evenings are 
Sunset aflame and shining like a band and 
Only the heavens in the blue eyes of the poet - 
How ravishing the Russian evenings are 

May all be dream, may love be game - wherefore 
For you are all my fits and my embraces? 
But in this world my memory remains of 
How ravishing the Russian evenings are.   

May all be dream, may love be game - wherefore
For you are all my fits and my embraces? 
But in this world my memory remains of 
How ravishing the Russian evenings are.
