The morning light has already awakened
The stag raises its proud head
The earth is still dewy
The new day takes its course
His reputation echoes far across the country
He is preparing for this day
In freedom, strength and his dignity
Being alone also makes you strong
He walks the well-known paths
He goes up and down
Hardly anyone prevents his way
He is drawn to the water with power
He comes to the course of the little river
And drinks the wonderfully cool water
So life can flow in him
Don't worry, don't hate
Others are in the nearby forest
On meadows and in clear heights
Together they will stand
And life can go on
There is no room for him
He has to find it and be there
Have to assert him, look for a partner
Loudly proclaim: "HERE IS MINE"!
Being so stately has its price
He carries and eats and fights
He also loses and bleeds at times
And from now on lives a bit subdued
The evening descends in the hallways
He has set out for the forest
Protected and quiet, he chews it again
What this day offered him
