Pierrot Dandy
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Im phantast'schen Mondenstrahle
[Funkeln]1 Fläschchen und Krystalle.
Vor dem Waschtisch schmückt der fahle
[Dandy Pierrot]2 sich zum Balle.
Wasserstrahl in seiner Schale
Klirrt gleich singendem Metalle.
Im phantast'schen Mondenstrahle
[Funkeln]1 Fläschchen und Krystalle.
Pierrot, statt daß auf die schmale
Bleiche Lippe er das dralle
Rot des frischen Lebens male,
Schminkt sich, daß er Ihr gefalle,
Mit phantast'schem Mondenstrahle.

Pierrot
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Dans un rayon de lune fantasque
Brillent les flacons et les cristaux,
Devant le lavabo le pâle Pierrot
Dandy se pare la figure.
Le jet d'eau dans sa vasque
Résonne comme un chant métallique.
Dans un rayon de lune fantasque
Brillent les flacons et les cristaux.
Pierrot sur ses minces
Lèvres pâles il peint à la place du
Rouge vif de la vie fraîche,
Il se maquille, comme il lui plaît,
D'un rayon de lune fantasque.
