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!

On es pot trobar encara caça
que no sigui en terres alemanyes?
Els francesos han desforestat en excés el seu país,
no respectant res, la caça ha estat exterminada,
disparen als ocells cantaires, els capsigranys!
A Anglaterra ja no hi resta res
que no sigui el pollastre a casa;
les fàbriques espeteguen i copegen,
les màquines martellegen i treuen fum,
cap animal salvatge pot suportar això.
...
La cacera seriosa i estricte,
només la coneixem nosaltres,
viure als boscos i als camps,
immersos en el teixit del nostre origen,
això fa florir la cacera alemanya.
Així doncs, beveu les copes plenes:
visca la cacera alemanya!
Aquest plaer que fa filar els somnis
i l’art que fa pensar les accions
que tant ens agraden!
Fa exercitar l’ànima, fa exercitar les mans,
nodreix la frescor, la força i el coratge:
quan cal protegir el regne,
ja som experts en les armes,
amunt! Ardida nissaga de caçadors!
