Aufgegebne Jagd. Erster Jäger

(Sung text for setting by T. Streicher)

See base text

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Mittelhochdeutsch

Our translations: ENG FRE

Ich schwing mein Horn ins Jammertal,
Mein Freud ist mir verschwunden,
Ich hab gejagt, muß abelahn,
Das Wild lauft vor den Hunden,
Ein edel Tier in diesem Feld
Hätt ich mir auserkohren,
Das schied von mir als ich es meld,
Mein Jagen ist verloren. 

Fahr hin, Gewild, in Waldes-Lust,
Ich will dich nimmer schrecken,
Und Jagen dein schneeweisse Brust,
Ein ander muß dich wecken,
Mit Jagdgeschrei, und Hundebiß,
Daß du kaum mögst entrinnen:
Halt dich in Hut, schöns Maidlein gut,
Mit Leid scheid ich von hinnen.

Je brandis mon cor dans la vallée de larmes

(Sung text translation for setting by T. Streicher)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Je brandis mon cor dans la vallée de larmes,
Ma joie a disparu,
J'ai chassé, je dois renoncer,
La bête sauvage court devant les chiens.
Un noble animal dans ce champ
J'avais choisi pour moi,
Elle s'est éloignée de moi, comme je le sens bien,
Ma chasse est perdue.

Va, bête sauvage, dans la joie de la forêt,
Je ne t'effraierai jamais,
Et ne chasserai pas ta poitrine blanche comme la neige,
Un autre doit te réveiller,
Avec des cris de chasse et des morsures de chiens,
Pour que tu ne puisses pas t'échapper :
Reste sur tes gardes, jolie petite bête,
Avec chagrin je pars d'ici.
