Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Jäger, ruhe von der Jagd!
Weicher Schlummer soll dich decken,
Träume nicht, wenn Sonn' erwacht,
Daß Jagdhörner dich erwecken.

Schlaf! der Hirsch ruht in der Höhle,
Bei dir sind die Hunde wach,
Schlaf, nicht quäl' es deine Seele,
Daß dein edles Roß erlag.

Jäger ruhe von der Jagd!
Weicher Schlummer soll dich decken;
Wenn der junge Tag erwacht,
Wird kein Jägerhorn dich wecken.

Canzone di Ellen II

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Schubert)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Riposa dalla caccia, cacciatore,
Che  un sonno delicato ti assista
Non sognare, al primo albore,
il corno da caccia che ti desta.
 
Dormi! riposa nella tana il cervo,
i cani ti vegliano accanto,
Dormi! la morte del tuo nobile cavallo
non sia, per la tua anima, tormento.
 
Riposa dalla caccia, cacciatore,
Che  un sonno delicato ti assista
Non sognare, al primo albore,
il corno da caccia che ti desta.
