Words (slightly amended by Pastor Joachim Bremer) (translation below) Zwischen Berg und tiefem, tiefem Tal saßen einst zwei Hasen, fraßen ab das grüne, grüne Gras, fraßen ab das grüne, grüne Gras, bis auf den Rasen. Als sie sich nun satt gefressen hatten, Setzten sie sich nieder, Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam Bis dass der Jäger Jäger kam, Und schoss sie nieder. Als sie sich nun aufgerappelt hatten, Und sie sich besannen, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Dass sie noch am lieben Leben war'n, Hoppelten sie von dannen. ========== Between the mountain and the deep valley there were once two hares sitting eating up the green green grass right down to the ground When they had had their fill they sat down Until the hunter came and shot them down When they came back to their senses and realised they were still alive they hopped away.  less
