Départ de Pierrot
Language: French (Français)
Un rayon de lune est la rame, Un blanc nénuphar, la chaloupe ; Il regagne, la brise en poupe, Sur un fleuve pâle, Bergame. Le flot chante une humide gamme Sous la nacelle qui le coupe. Un rayon de lune est la rame, Un blanc nénuphar, la chaloupe. Le neigeux roi du mimodrame Redresse fièrement sa houppe ; Comme du punch dans une coupe, Le vague horizon vert s'enflamme. - Un rayon de lune est la rame.

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.
