18. Der Mondfleck (The Moon Spot)
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 Gipsleck!
Wischt und wischt, doch - bringt ihn nicht herunter!
Und so geht er, giftgeschwollen, weiter,
und reibt bis an den frühen Morgen -
Einen weißen Fleck des hellen Mondes.
One white spot from the bright moon
On the back of his black coat,
So Pierrot walks in mild evening
Searching for luck and adventure.
Instantly he's troubled by something on his suit,
He looks himself over and finds sure enough--
One white spot from the bright moon
On the back of his black coat.
Wait! he thinks: that's a spot of plaster!
Wipes and wipes, but-can't get it out!
So on he goes, swollen with fury, farther,
Rubs and rubs until early morning--
One white spot from the bright moon.
