Mit dem Pfeil, dem Bogen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Mit dem Pfeil, dem Bogen,
Durch Gebirg' und Tal
Kommt der Schütz gezogen
Früh am Morgenstrahl.
Wie im Reich der Lüfte
König ist der Weih --
Durch Gebirg und Klüfte
Herrscht der Schütze frei.
Ihm gehört das Weite,
Was sein Pfeil erreicht,
Das ist seine Beute,
Was da kreucht und fleugt.

Le chant du garçon archer
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Avec la flèche, avec l'arc,
À travers montagne et vallée,
L'archer va et vient
Tôt dans les rayons du matin.
Comme dans le royaume des airs
Le roi est le milan --
À travers montagnes et gorges
L'archer règne libre.
L'espace lui appartient,
Quoi que sa flèche atteigne
C'est sa proie :
Que cela halète ou vole.
