     Soll denn der Pales Opfer hier das letzte sein?
     Nein! nein!
     Ich will die Pflicht auch niederlegen,
     Und da das ganze Land von Vivat schallt,
     Auch dieses schöne Feld
     Zu Ehren unsers Sachsenheld
     Zur Freud und Lust bewegen.

     Aria,
     Schafe können sicher weiden,
     Wo ein guter Hirte wacht.
     Wo Regenten wohl regieren,
     Kann man Ruh und Friede spüren
     Und was Länder glücklich macht.

     English Translation:
     Should Pales' sacrifice here be the last?
     No! No!
     I will also lay down my duty,
     And since the whole land resounds with "Vivat,"
     Also this beautiful field,
     In honor of our Saxon hero,
     For joy and pleasure move.

     Aria,
     Sheep may safely graze,
     Where a good shepherd watches.

     One can sense rest and peace,
     And what makes countries happy.
