Nostalgie
Language: French (Français)
Comme un doux soupir de cristal, L'âme des vieilles comédies Se plaint des allures raidies Du lent Pierrot sentimental. Dans son triste désert mental Résonne en notes assourdies, Comme un doux soupir de cristal, L'âme des vieilles comédies. Il désapprend son air fatal: A travers les blancs incendies Des lunes dans l'onde agrandies, Son regret vole au ciel natal, Comme un doux soupir de cristal.

Heimweh
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime, Klingts herüber: wie Pierrot so holzern, So modern sentimental geworden. Und es tönt durch seines Herzens Wüste, Tönt gedämpft durch alle Sinne wieder, Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime. Da vergißt Pierrot die Trauermienen! Durch den bleichen Feuerschein des Mondes, Durch des Lichtmeers Fluten - schweift die Sehnsucht Kühn hinauf, empor zum Heimathimmel Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen!
