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!

皮耶羅！我的笑 我已經不記得了！ 那明亮的景象 已消失－已消失！ 一幀黑色的旗幟 在我的桅桿上翻飛著。 皮耶羅！我的笑 我已經不記得了！ 哦 還給我， 靈魂的獸醫師， 抒情的雪人， 高貴的月亮殿下， 皮耶羅－我的笑！
