Heimfahrt
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Our translations: CHI ENG FRE ITA NYN
Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder,
Seerose dient als Boot;
Drauf fährt Pierrot gen Süden
Mit gutem Reisewind.
Der Strom summt tiefe Skalen
Und wiegt den leichten Kahn.
Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder,
Seerose dient als Boot.
Nach Bergamo, zur Heimat,
Kehrt nun Pierrot zurück;
Schwach dämmert schon im Osten
Der grüne Horizont.
- Der Mondstrahl ist das Ruder.

Retour au pays natal
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Le rayon de lune est la rame,
Un nénuphar sert de bateau ;
Dessus Pierrot voyage vers le sud.
Avec une bonne brise.
Le fleuve murmure des notes graves
Et berce le léger navire.
Le rayon de lune est la rame,
Un nénuphar sert de bateau.
Vers Bergame, au pays natal,
Pierrot s'en retourne maintenant ;
Déjà faiblement le jour point à l'est
Sur le vert horizon.
Le rayon de lune est la rame.
