Subject: ADD: Trara, das tönt wie Jagdgesang
I found the German lyrics at lieder-archiv.de. They're quite different from the English words you have, but I think it's supposed to be the same song. The melody is the same, anyhow.
I visited the Steiner/Waldorf world headquarters in Basel last June, and I was sorely tempted to buy some songbooks, but they were very expensive.
Here are the German lyrics:
Trara, das tönt wie Jagdgesang
Trara, das tönt wie Jagdgesang, wie wilder und fröhlicher Hörnerklang, wie Jagdgesang, wie Hörnerklang: Trara, trara, trara.
