Der Dandy

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN

Mit einem phantastischen Lichtstrahl
Erleuchtet der Mond die krystallnen Flacons
Auf dem schwarzen, hochheiligen Waschtisch
Des schweigenden Dandys von Bergamo.

In tönender, bronzener Schale
Lacht hell die Fontaine, metallischen Klangs.
Mit einem phantastischen Lichtstrahl
Erleuchtet der Mond die krystallnen Flacons.

Pierrot mit dem wächsernen Antlitz
Steht sinnend und denkt: wie er heute sich schminkt?
Fort schiebt er das Rot und das Orients Grün
Und bemalt sein Gesicht in erhabenem Stil
Mit einem phantastischen Mondstrahl.

花花公子

Language: Chinese (中文) after the German (Deutsch)

以一道神奇的光線
月兒照亮了水晶玻璃瓶
在一座黝黑而神聖崇高的盥洗台上
屬於來自貝爾加摩、沈靜的花花公子。

在響亮的青銅水盆中
噴泉正笑得爽朗，帶著金屬般的聲響。
以一道神奇的光線
月兒照亮了水晶玻璃瓶。

皮耶羅帶著蒼白的臉龐
若有所思地站在那兒想著：今天要上哪種妝？
挪開紅色 以及東方碧綠
將他的臉畫出高貴的風格
用一道神奇的月光。
