Pierrot cruel
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Dans le chef poli de Cassandre, Qui pousse d'affreux cris de paon, Pierrot enfonce le trépan, D'un air hypocritement tendre. Le maryland qu'il vient de prendre, Sa main sournoise le répand Dans le chef poli de Cassandre Qui pousse d'affreux cris de paon. Il fixe un bout de palissandre Au crâne, et le blanc sacripant, A très rouges lèvres pompant, Fume - en chassant du doigt la cendre - Dans le chef poli de Cassandre !

Gemeinheit!
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
In den blanken Kopf Cassanders, Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert, Bohrt Pierrot mit Heuchlermienen, Zärtlich - einen Schädelbohrer! Darauf stopft er mit dem Daumen Seinen echten türkischen Taback In den blanken Kopf Cassanders, Dessen Schrein die Luft durchzetert! Dann dreht er ein Rohr von Weichsel Hinten in die glatte Glatze Und behäbig schmaucht und pafft er Seinen echten türkischen Taback Aus dem blanken Kopf Cassanders!
