Einen weißen Fleck des hellen Mondes Auf dem Rücken seines schwarzen Rockes, So spaziert Pierrot im lauen Abend, Aufzusuchen Glück und Abenteuer. Plötzlich - stört ihn was an seinem Anzug, Er beschaut sich rings und findet richtig - Einen weißen Fleck des hellen Mondes Auf dem Rücken seines schwarzen Rockes. Warte! denkt er: das ist so ein Gipsfleck! Wischt und wischt, doch - bringt ihn nicht herunter! Und so geht er, giftgeschwollen, weiter, Reibt und reibt bis an den frühen Morgen -- Einen weißen Fleck des hellen Mondes.

明亮月光中 一處白色斑點 就在他黑色外套後面， 皮耶羅在溫暖的傍晚時分漫步， 尋找著運氣和冒險。 突然間 他的外衣有些彆扭， 他找遍了全身 發現到－ 明亮月光中 一處白色斑點 就在他黑色外套後面。 等等！ 他想：是個石膏似的斑點！ 他抹了又抹，但是－卻無法將它從身上抹去！ 他一路走著，充滿怨恨，繼續走著， 他擦了又擦 直到清晨－ 明亮月光中 一處白色斑點。
