Pierrot! Mein Lachen Hab ich verlernt! Das Bild des Glanzes Zerfloß - Zerfloß! Schwarz weht die Flagge Mir nun vom Mast. Pierrot! Mein Lachen Hab ich verlernt! O gieb mir wieder, Roßarzt der Seele, Schneemann der Lyrik, Durchlaucht vom Monde, Pierrot - mein Lachen!

Pierrot -- eg har mista latteren min! Glansen frå biletet forsvann -- forsvann! Frå masta vaiar flagget mitt og det er svart. Pierrot -- eg har mista latteren min! Å, gje meg det tilbake, sjelas hestedoktor, lyrikkens snømann, månens fyrst, Pierrot -- latteren min!
