Hör' ich ein Waldhorn klingen Durch das Gebirge hin, Ich zöge dann so gerne Wohl in die blaue Ferne Zu einer Jägerin. [Im dunklen Tannenwalde]1, Da steht des Försters Haus, Im [tiefen]2 Wald verborgen. Da schaut [am frühen]3 Morgen [Das]4 Töchterlein heraus. Der Vater und die Tochter, Die machen Alles wund, Der Vater [schießt die]5 Hirschlein, [Die Tochter]6 trifft die Bürschlein Tief in des Herzens Grund.
H. Pfitzner sets stanzas 2-3

J'entends l'appel du cor de chasse, À travers les montagnes, J'aimerais le suivre Dans les lointains bleus Jusqu'à une chasseuse. Dans la [sombre]1 forêt de pins, Se dresse la maison du garde forestier, Cachée dans la forêt profonde. Là, tôt le matin, Sa jeune fille regarde dehors. Le père et sa fille, Peuvent blesser tous les deux. Le père tire sur le jeune cerf, La fille frappe le jeune homme Au plus profond du cœur.
