Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime, Klingts herüber: wie Pierrot so holzern, So modern sentimental geworden. Und es tönt durch seines Herzens Wüste, Tönt gedämpft durch alle Sinne wieder, Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen Aus Italiens alter Pantomime. Da vergißt Pierrot die Trauermienen! Durch den bleichen Feuerschein des Mondes, Durch des Lichtmeers Fluten - schweift die Sehnsucht Kühn hinauf, empor zum Heimathimmel Lieblich klagend - ein krystallnes Seufzen!

Se plaignant doucement -- un soupir cristallin Issu de vieilles pantomimes italiennes, Revient en écho : comme Pierrot si raide, Devenu si sentimental comme c'est la mode. Et cela sonne à travers le désert de son cœur, Sonne en sourdine à travers tous ses sens à nouveau, Se plaignant doucement -- un soupir cristallin Issu de vieilles pantomimes italiennes. Maintenant Pierrot oublie les airs tragiques ! À la lueur pâle de la lune, À travers les flots de la mer de lumière -- s'élève la nostalgie Hardiment, jusqu'au ciel de la patrie, Se plaignant doucement -- un soupir cristallin !
