||: When morning mists obscure the day
O’er moon and mountains gray
Up cries the foresters away
Thus merrily we go. :||

||: Hilio Hilio Hilio
Our horns ring over hill and dale
Our hound the stag assail
While echo mocks the hunter’s hail
soho soho soho ho
Hilio Hilio Hilio.
Our horns ring over hill and dale
Hilio Hilio Hilio
Our hounds the stag assails
Hilio Hilio Hilio
While echo mocks the hunter’s hail
Hilio Hilio Hilio.
soho soho soho ho. :||
