Mit groteskem Riesenbogen

Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN

Mit groteskem Riesenbogen
Kratzt Pierrot auf seiner Bratsche,
Wie der Storch auf einem Beine,
Knipst er trüb ein Pizzicato.

Plötzlich naht Cassander - wütend
Ob des nächtgen Virtuosen -
Mit groteskem Riesenbogen
Kratzt Pierrot auf seiner Bratsche.

Von sich wirft er jetzt die Bratsche:
Mit der delikaten Linken
Faßt den Kahlkopf er am Kragen -
Träumend [spielt]¹ er auf der Glatze
Mit groteskem Riesenbogen.

小夜曲

Language: Chinese (中文) after the German (Deutsch)

以怪異的巨弓
皮耶羅刮擦著他的中提琴，
就像單腳站立的鸛鳥一般，
他悲傷地挑出一聲撥弦奏。

突然間 卡桑德靠近－憤怒地
接近這夜間的高超演奏－
以怪異的巨弓
皮耶羅刮擦著他的中提琴。

這會兒 他把中提琴丟在一旁：
以他細緻優雅的左手
攫住卡桑德的衣領－
他作夢般地演奏著這顆光頭
以怪異的巨弓。
