by August Schnezler (1809 - 1853)

Hör' ich ein Waldhorn klingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
  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.
