What shall he have that kill'd the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home;
The rest shall bear this burden
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn;
It was a crest ere thou wast born:
Thy father's father wore it,
And thy father bore it:
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.

Foresters Lied
Language:
German
Was kriegt er, der den Hirsch erlegt?
Sein ledern Kleid und Horn er trägt.
Drum singt ihn heim:
Ohn allen Zorn trag du das Horn;
Ein Helmschmuck war's, eh du geborn.
Deins Vaters Vater führt' es.
Und deinen Vater ziert' es.
Das Horn, das Horn, das wackre Horn
Ist nicht ein Ding zu Spott und Zorn.
