Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder,
Seerose dient als Boot;
Drauf fährt Pierrot gen Süden
Mit gutem Reisewind.
Der Strom summt tiefe Skalen
Und wiegt den leichten Kahn.
Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder,
Seerose dient als Boot.
Nach Bergamo, zur Heimat,
Kehrt nun Pierrot zurück;
Schwach dämmert schon im Osten
Der grüne Horizont.
- Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder.

月光作槳,
蓮花為船:
皮耶羅向南航行
伴著舒緩的順風。
河流低沈地哼唱著
搖晃這艘輕巧的船。
月光作槳,
蓮花為船。
朝著貝爾加摩,他的家鄉,
皮耶羅踏上歸途,
在東方 微弱曙光已現
(照亮)綠色的地平線。
-月光作槳。
