Tanzlied des Pierrots

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: FRE ITA SPA

Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen,
es träumt sich zurück.
Im Tanze gewann ich,
verlor ich mein Glück.
Im Tanze am Rhein,
bei Mondenschein,
gestand mir's aus Blauaug
ein inniger Blick,
gestand mir's ihr bittend Wort:
o bleib, o geh mit nicht fort,
bewahre der Heimat
still blühendes Glück,
mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen,
es träumt sich zurück……
Zauber der Ferne
warf in die Seele den Brand.
Zauber des Tanzes
lockte, ward Komödiant.
Folgt ihr, der Wundersüssen,
lernt unter Tränen küssen.

Rausch und Not, und Wahn und Glück,
ach, das ist des Gauklers Geschick … …

Canto de Pierrot

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Mi nostalgia, mi delirio, 
me transportan en sueños al pasado.
Danzando gané, 
danzando perdí mi felicidad.
Danzando al borde del Rin, 
a la luz de la luna,
se confió desde unos ojos azules 
una mirada amante,
se confió a mí su palabra suplicante:
“Oh quédate, no te vayas
cultiva la felicidad en la tierra natal 
que todavía florece.”
Mi nostalgia, mi delirio, 
me transportan en sueños al pasado.
Pero el embrujo de lontananza encendía 
en mi alma un ardor,
Pero el embrujo de la danza me seducía, 
y me convertí en comediante.
Seguir lo maravillosamente dulce,
aprender a besar cubierto de lágrimas.

Embriaguez y miseria, locura y felicidad:
Oh, tal es el destino de un saltimbanqui.
