      En Jäger mitme Jägergwand
      Und mit de Flinte i der Hand,
      Mit Pulverhorn und Jägerhuet
      Und mit vill Muet und Übermuet
      Und mit de Brüle uf de Nase,
      Dä isch emal uf d Jagd uf Hase.
      A hunter with a hunter garb
      And with the musket in the hand,
      With powder horn and hunter hat
      And with much bravery and overconfidence
      And with the glasses on the nose,
      He [really] is on the hunt for hares.
