Bei der Flasche
 (Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Wo giebt es wohl noch Jägerei,
Als wie im deutschen Land?
Der Franzos' hat sein Land überlichtet,
Nichts schonend die Jagd sich vernichtet,
Schiesst singende Vögel, der Fant!

In Engelland, da ist nichts mehr,
Als wie das Huhn zu Haus;
Fabriken klappern und stampfen,
Maschinen hämmern und dampfen,
Das hält kein Wildpret aus.

 ... 

Die ernste strenge Jägerei,
Die kennen wir allein,
In Wald und Feld zu leben,
Vertieft in Ursprungs-Weben,
Ist deutsches Jagdgedeihn.

So trinkt darauf ein volles Glas:
Es lebe deutsche Jagd!
In Lust die Träume spinnend,
Und die Kunst, die Thaten sinnend
Die uns so wohl behagt!

Sie übt die Seele, übt die Hand,
Nährt Frische, Kraft und Muth:
Wenn's gilt das Reich zu wahren,
Wir sind in Waffen wohl erfahren,
Hoch! deutsches Jägerblut!

Bij de fles
 (Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Waar wordt wel nog gejaagd zo mooi
Als hier in 't Duitse land?
De Fransoos heeft zijn land overhelderd,
De jacht, niet gespaard, is gekelderd,
Schiet zingende
 vogels, de kwant!

In Engeland, daar is niets meer
Dan slechts het hoen nog buit;
Fabrieken raat'len en stampen,
Machines haam'ren en dampen,
Dat houdt geen jachtdier uit.

 ... 

De  ware, strenge jachtcultuur,
Die kennen enkel wij.
In bos en veld te leven,
Verdiept in oorsprongs weven,
Zo jaagt de Duitser vrij
.

Dus drink daarop een goed vol glas:
't Is mooi hoe Duitsland jaagt!
,
En die kunst, op daden ,
Die ons zozeer behaagt!

Zij vormt de ziel en traint de hand,
Geeft frisheid, kracht en moed:
Bedreigen 't rijk gevaren,
Wij zijn met wapens ervaren
,
Proost, dapper
 jagersbloed!
