Original text and translations

English text

Away to the hills with the hounds in the morning,
The bright diamond dewdrops the treetops adorning!
What joy is the chase to the blithe hunter bringing!
How loud rings the call he is merrily singing.
Hark! Follow!

What life can such pleasure and happiness render!
What joy is so sweet, and what kiss is so tender,
As when in the twilight the red deer home bringing,
He greets with delight his own true love with singing.
Hark! Follow!
