Durch schwankende Wipfel
Schießt [güldner]1 Strahl,
Tief unter den Gipfeln
Das [neblige]2 Tal.
[Fern hallt es am Schlosse,]3
Das Waldhorn ruft,
Es wiehern die Rosse
In die Luft, in die Luft!

Bald Länder und Seen
[Durch]4 Wolkenzug
Tief schimmernd zu sehen
In schwindelndem Flug,
Bald Dunkel wieder
Hüllt Reiter und Roß,
O Lieb', o Liebe
[So]5 laß mich los! -

Immer weiter und weiter
Die Klänge ziehn,
Durch Wälder und Heiden
Wohin, ach wohin?
Erquickliche Frische,
Süß-schaurige Lust!
Hoch flattern die Büsche,
Frei schlägt die Brust.

Cançó de cacera
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
A través de gronxolants capçades
apunta un raig daurat,
a baix, dessota els cims
a la vall boirosa.
De lluny ressona al castell
la crida del corn de caça,
els cavalls renillen
a l’aire, a l’aire!

Adés, terres i llacs
a través de la corrua de núvols
es veuen resplendir pregonament
en un vol vertiginós,
adés, la foscúria de nou
embolcalla genets i cavalls,
oh amor, oh amor
deixa’m anar!

Cada cop més lluny
s’escampen els sons,
a través de boscos i prades,
cap on, ai, cap on?
Frescor que reanima,
dolç esglai de joia!
Alts, onegen els matolls,
lliure, batega el cor.
