19. Serenade
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 er auf der Glatze
Mit groteskem Riesenbogen.
With a grotesque giant bow
Pierrot scrapes on his viola.
Like the stork on one leg,
He dully plucks a pizzicato.
Suddenly Cassander comes--frenzied
By the nocturne virtuoso--
With a grotesque giant bow
Pierrot saws on his viola.
Fast he throws down the viola,
With his delicate left hand
He grasps the bald head by the collar--
Dreaming he plays on the baldspot
With a grotesque giant bow.
