translated by Mark Twain   translated by L. W. Garnham   translated by Joachim Gießner
 
An ancient legend of the Rhine        
 
I cannot divine what it meaneth,   I do not know what it signifies.   Malgajon mi sentas en koro,
This haunting nameless pain:   That I am so sorrowful?   sed kial tia tim'?
A tale of the bygone ages   A fable of old Times so terrifies,   Legendo el pratempa foro
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.   Vagadas tra mia anim'.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   The air is cool and it darkens,   Jam fluas la Rejn' en malhelo,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   And calmly flows the Rhine;   kaj malvarmetas l' aer'.
The thirsty summits are drinking   The summit of the mountain hearkens   Sed brilas la mont' en orbelo
The sunset's flooding wine;   In evening sunshine line.   pro suna lum' de l' vesper'.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   The most beautiful Maiden entrances   Jen supre kabino provokas
High-throned in yon blue air,   Above wonderfully there,   per ora juvelar',
Her golden jewels are shining,   Her beautiful golden attire glances,   kaj ŝia beleco allogas
She combs her golden hair;   She combs her golden hair.   kaj ŝia ora harar'.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   With golden comb so lustrous,   Ŝi kombas ĝin, kantas sorĉige,
And sings a weird refrain   And thereby a song sings,   sirene kantas ŝi
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   It has a tone so wondrous,   per neimagebla, mirige
The listener's ravished brain:   That powerful melody rings.   potenca melodi'.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   The shipper in the little ship   Ŝipiston en eta boato
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   It effects with woe sad might;   Turmentas koremoci'.
He sees not the yawing breakers,   He does not see the rocky slip,   Ne ĝenas lin rifo-kaskado,
He sees but the maid alone:   He only regards dreaded height.   rigardas nur supren al ŝi!
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   I believe the turbulent waves   Ĝis tiras kun si al Rejn-fundo
So perish sailor and bark;   Swallow the last shipper and boat;   la ondoj lin kun boat'.
And this, with her baleful singing,   She with her singing craves   Nun kuŝas li en la profundo
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   All to visit her magic moat.   pro Loreleja kantad'.
