Souper sur l'eau
Language: French (Français)
En d'alanguissantes yoles Au pavillon de bleu turquin, Pierrot, Colombine, Arlequin Font saigner les rouges fioles. Les femmes ont de lucioles Diamanté leur casaquin, En d'alanguissantes yoles Au pavillon de bleu turquin. Enrichissant ces fanfioles, La lune luit comme un sequin, Et sous un rose baldaquin Madrigalisent les violes, En d'alanguissantes yoles.

Souper
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
In einer müden Gondel Auf dunkelblauer Flut Sitzt traut mit Colombine Pierrot beim roten Wein. Johanniswürmchen leuchten Als ihres Haars Demanten — In einer müden Gondel Auf dunkelblauer Flut. Der Mond in seiner Güte Giesst all sein Gold hernieder! Und ihr zu Füssen duften Die Veilchen — welk, verstreut In einer müden Gondel.
