about

Zwischen Berg und tiefem tiefem Tal is a German folk song (or nursery rhyme) about another hunter who fails to catch his quarry
- in this case they are two hares which he shoots at, but fails to kill, and which then hop off.
Perhaps the hunter here should join forces with the keeper above ...

lyrics

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.
