Valse de Chopin
Language: French (Français)
Comme un crachat sanguinolent, De la bouche d'une phtisique, Il tombe de cette musique Un charme morbide et dolent. Un son rouge - du rêve blanc Avive la pâle tunique, Comme un crachat sanguinolent De la bouche d'une phtisique. Le thème doux et violent De la valse mélancolique Me laisse une saveur physique, Un fade arrière-goût troublant, Comme un crachat sanguinolent.

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Wie ein blasser Tropfen Bluts Färbt die Lippen einer Kranken, Also ruht auf diesen Tönen Ein vernichtungssüchtger Reiz. Wilder Lust Accorde stören Der Verzweiflung eisgen Traum - Wie ein blasser Tropfen Bluts Färbt die Lippen einer Kranken. Heiß und jauchzend, süß und schmachtend, Melancholisch düstrer Walzer, Kommst mir nimmer aus den Sinnen! Haftest mir an den Gedanken, Wie ein blasser Tropfen Bluts!
