Pierrot Dandy
Language: French (Français)
D'un rayon de lune fantasque Luisent les flacons de cristal Sur le lavabo de santal Du pâle dandy bergamasque. La fontaine rit dans sa vasque Avec un son clair de métal. D'un rayon de Lune fantasque Luisent les flacons de cristal. Mais le seigneur à blanche basque, Laissant le rouge végétal Et le fard vert oriental Maquille étrangement son masque D'un rayon de Lune fantasque.

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.
