| РУССКIЙ МАТЧИШЪ ♪
 "Матчишъ" я научилась
 Плясать не скоро,
 Одна, какъ ни трудилась,
 Всё шло не споро.
 
 Но вотъ, испанецъ юный
 Мнѣ далъ урокъ
 Я сразу поняла его
 Урокъ былъ въ прокъ.
 
 Я такъ была готова
 Понять испанца,
 Что поняла въ два слова
 Прiемы танца,
 
 Онъ мощною рукою
 Меня взялъ властно
 За руку и порою
 Шепталъ такъ страстно.
 |  | RUSSIAN MATCHISH ♪
 I learned to dance Matchish,
 It troubled me a lot,
 No matter how I wished,
 I couldn`t hit the spot.
 
 Once Spanish cavalier
 Gave me the lesson, o!
 At last all was so clear,
 I was quick on the draw.
 
 I was so eager then
 To understand my Spaniard
 That all steps he explained
 I did with fire.
 
 He touched me by the arm
 With his mighty hand,
 He whispered in due time
 What I should apprehend.
