Der Jäger in dem Walde sich suchet seinen Aufenthalt, mit Hund und Wehr wohl hin und her, ob für ihn nichts zu treffen wär. Mein Hündelein ist stets bei mir in diesem grünen Laubgewölb, mein Hündchen wacht, mein Herz es lacht, die Augen gehen hin und her.

Le chasseur dans la forêt Se cherche une halte Avec chien et arme, Par-ci par-là, Où rien ne lui arriverait. Mon petit chien est toujours près de moi, Sous cette verte voûte de feuilles, Mon petit chien veille, J'ai le cœur gai, Mes yeux vont de-ci de-là.
