Wie schreitet königlich der Leu! Schüttelt die Mähn in die Lüfte. Er ruft sein Machtgebot Durch Wälder und Klüfte. Doch werd ich ihn stürzen Mit dem Speer in starker Hand, Um die Schultern mir schürzen Sein Goldgewand. Der Aar, ein König, schwebet auf, Er rauschet in Wonne, Will langen sich zur Kron herab Die goldne Sonne. Doch in den Wolken hoch Soll ihn [fahen]1 und spießen Mein geflügelter Pfeil, Daß er mir sinke zu Füßen.

Comme le lion avance d'un pas royal ! Il secoue sa crinière dans les airs, Il rugit la puissance de sa loi Par les forêts et les abîmes. Mais pourtant je l'abattrai Avec l'épée que tient fermement ma main, Pour nouer autour de mes épaules Sa robe d'or. L'aigle, un roi, plane là-haut, Il bruisse de volupté, Il veut s'efforcer de détrôner Le soleil d'or. Mais là-haut dans les nuages, Ma flèche ailée L'atteindra et le transpercera, Et il tombera à mes pieds.
