by Émile Albert Kayenberg (1860 - 1929), as Albert Giraud
Translation by Otto Erich Hartleben (1864 - 1905)
Cuisine lyrique
Language: French (Français)
La Lune, la jaune omelette, Battue avec de grands œufs d’or, Au fond de l’azur noir s’endort, Et dans les vitres se reflète. Pierrot, dans sa blanche toilette, Guigne sur le toit, près du bord, La lune, la jaune omelette, Battue avec de grands œufs d’or. Ridé comme une pomme blette, Le Pierrot agite très fort Un poêlon, et, d’un brusque effort, Croit lancer au ciel qui paillette La Lune, la jaune omelette.
Confirmed with Albert Giraud, Héros et Pierrots, Librairie Fischbacher (Collection des poètes français de l’étranger), 1898, pages 89-90.

Der Koch
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Eine goldne Omelette Auf des Himmels schwarzem Herde Steht der Mond — in allen Fenstern Spiegelt sich sein gelbes Bild. Wie ein Koch — in weissen Kleidern. Prüft Pierrot mit Kennerblick Eine goldne Omelette Auf des Himmels schwarzem Herde. Und mit sachlich krausen Mienen Schwingt er eine Casserole, Denn gleich gilt es — umzuwenden In der Sterne sprühnden Funken Eine goldne Omelette.
