Pierrot stands in the garden Beneath a waning moon, And on his lute he fashions A [fragile]1 silver tune. Pierrot plays in the garden, He thinks he plays for me, But I am quite forgotten Under the cherry tree. Pierrot plays in the garden, And all the roses know That Pierrot loves his music, -- But I love Pierrot.

Pierrot zeigt sich im Garten - der Mond am Himmel zieht -, auf seiner Laute spielt er ein [silberzartes]1 Lied. Für mich, im Garten, meint er, sei einzig die Soiree, derweil ich ganz vergessen unter dem Kirschbaum steh. Pierrot spielt bei den Rosen, die wissen ohnehin, dass er seine Musik liebt, doch ich, ich liebe ihn.
