Parodie
Language: French (Français)
Des aiguilles à tricoter Dans sa vieille perruque grise, La duègne, en casaquin cerise, Ne se lasse de marmotter. Sous la treille elle vient guetter Pierrot dont sa chair est éprise, Des aiguilles à tricoter Dans sa vieille perruque grise. Soudain elle entend éclater Les sifflets pointus de la brise : La lune rit de la méprise, Et ses rais semblent imiter Des aiguilles à tricoter.

Parodie
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, In ihrem grauen Haar, Sitzt die Duenna murmelnd, Im roten Röckchen da. Sie wartet in der Laube, Sie liebt Pierrot mit Schmerzen, Stricknadeln, blank und blinkend, In ihrem grauen Haar. Da plötzlich - horch! - ein Wispern! Ein Windhauch kichert leise: Der Mond, der böse Spötter, Äfft nach mit seinen Strahlen - Stricknadeln, blink und blank.
