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.

Timone è il raggio di luna, per barca una ninfea; a sud si dirige Pierrot, spinto da un vento propizio. Mormora la corrente con toni profondi e culla l'imbarcazione leggera. Timone è il raggio di luna, per barca una ninfea. A Bergamo, verso la terra natia, Pierrot ora sta facendo ritorno; inizia ad albeggiare ad est, con lieve chiarore, lungo il verde orizzonte. - Timone è il raggio di luna.
