by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Translation by Felix Hausdorff (1868 - 1942), as Paul Mongré

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.

Pierrot Dandy
 (Sung text for setting by J. Marx)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français) 
Our translations:  FRE
Im phantast'schen Mondenstrahle
blitzen Fläschchen und Krystalle.
Vor dem Waschtisch schmückt der fahle
Pierrot Dandy sich zum Balle.

Wasserstrahl in seiner Schale
Klirrt gleich singendem Metalle.
Im phantast'schen Mondenstrahle
blitzen 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.
