English text

Tantarra, tantarra.
The hunt is up,
the hunt is up,
And it is well nigh day;
Harry, our King,
Has gone hunting,
To bring the deer to bay.
The east is bright,
With rosy light,
And darkness it is fled;
The merry horn
Awakes to morn,
To leave his idle bed.
Tantarra, tantarra.

Arise, arise,
Unclose your eyes,
To meet the golden ray,
Happy and free,
Right merrily
We'll mount and ride away.
The birds they sing,
The deer they fling,
The eager hunters fly,
The merry horn
Awakes to morn,
Then up and join the cry.
The hunt is up,
the hunt is up,
And it is well nigh day;
Harry, our King,
Has gone hunting,
To bring the deer to bay.
Tantarra, tantarra.
