While our slumbrous spells assail ye,
Dream not, with the rising sun,

Bugles here shall sound reveillie.

Caçador, reposa de la cacera!
Un dolç son et cobrirà,
no somiïs quan surti el sol
que els corns de caça et desperten.
Dorm! El cérvol reposa al seu cau,
al teu costat els gossos vetllen,
dorm, que no sigui un turment per a la teva ànima,
la mort del teu noble corser.
Caçador, reposa de la cacera!
Un dolç son et cobrirà,
no somiïs quan surti el sol
que els corns de caça et desperten.
