Mein Lieb ist ein Jäger, und grün ist sein Kleid, Und blau ist sein Auge, nur sein Herz ist zu weit. Mein Lieb ist ein Jäger, trifft immer ins Ziel, Und Mädchen berückt er, so viel er nur will. Mein Lieb ist ein Jäger, kennt Wege und Spur, Zu mir aber kommt er durch die Kirchtüre nur!

El meu amor és un caçador i verd és el seu vestit, i blaus són els seus ulls, només el seu cor és massa ample. El meu amor és un caçador, encerta sempre el blanc, i captiva les noies, tant com ell vol. El meu amor és un caçador, coneix tots els camins i els rastres, però al meu encontre vindrà només per la porta de l’església.
