Jägerchor
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie lebt sichs so [fröhlich]1 im Grünen,
Im Grünen bei fröhlicher Jagd,
Von [sonnigen]2 Strahlen [durchschienen]3,
Wo reizend die Beute uns lacht.
Wir [lauschen]4, und nicht [ist's]5 vergebens,
Wir [lauschen]4 im duftenden Klee.
[O sehet]6 das Ziel unsres Strebens,
Ein schlankes, ein [flüchtiges]7 Reh!
Getroffen bald sinkt es vom Pfeile,
Doch Liebe verletzt, daß sie heile,
[Nicht bebe]8, du schüchternes Reh,
[Die Liebe gibt Wonne]9 für Weh.

Note: The libretto of Chézy's initial version of her play, with the title Rosamunde, Fürstinn von Cypern, which was staged in 1823 in Vienna with Schubert's music, is lost. This original version of the play comprises 4 acts. The manuscript of a revised version of Rosamunde in 5 acts has lately been discovered and published (see reference above). The Jägerchor set by Schubert appears in the beginning of act 2 in the revised version.

Jagerskoor
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Wat is het in 't groen vrolijk leven,
In 't groen ja, bij vrolijke jacht,
De zonneschijn straalt door de dreven,
Waar lokkend de buit ons toelacht.
Wij luist'ren, verdekt in de klaver,
Wij luist'ren vergeefs niet, o nee.
O kijk daar, het doel van ons jagen:
Een prachtig slank, wegvluchtend ree.
Een pijl zal zijn leven straks stelen,
Doch liefde verwondt om te helen;
Dus beef niet, jij schichtig rank ree,
De liefde geeft vreugde voor wee.
