Heinrich Heine, | Heinrich Heine, | Heinrich Heine, | ||
| translated by L. W. Garnham | translated by Mark Twain | translated by N. N. 01 | ||
| An ancient legend of the Rhine | ||||
| I do not know what it signifies. | I cannot divine what it meaneth, | Ignoro, quid id sibi velit, | ||
| That I am so sorrowful? | This haunting nameless pain: | Tristissimus cur sim, | ||
| A fable of old Times so terrifies, | A tale of the bygone ages | Antiqui aevi fabellam | ||
| Leaves my heart so thoughtful. | Keeps brooding through my brain: | Cur saepe volverim. | ||
| The air is cool and it darkens, | The faint air cools in the gloaming, | Vesperascit et frigescit, | ||
| And calmly flows the Rhine; | And peaceful flows the Rhine, | Et Rhenus leniter it, | ||
| The summit of the mountain hearkens | The thirsty summits are drinking | Cacumen montis lucescit, | ||
| In evening sunshine line. | The sunset's flooding wine; | Dum Phoebus occidit. | ||
| The most beautiful Maiden entrances | The loveliest maiden is sitting | Sedet in summo montis | ||
| Above wonderfully there, | High-throned in yon blue air, | Virgo pulcherrima, | ||
| Her beautiful golden attire glances, | Her golden jewels are shining, | Auro nitet gemma frontis, | ||
| She combs her golden hair. | She combs her golden hair; | Se pectit auricoma. | ||
| With golden comb so lustrous, | She combs with comb that is golden, | Aureolo pectine pectit, | ||
| And thereby a song sings, | And sings a weird refrain | Carmen canens procul, | ||
| It has a tone so wondrous, | That steeps in a deadly enchantment | Mirandum id habet modum | ||
| That powerful melody rings. | The listener's ravished brain: | Nec non virilem simul. | ||
| The shipper in the little ship | The doomed in his drifting shallop, | In cymba navitam mille | ||
| It effects with woe sad might; | Is tranced with the sad sweet tone, | Angores feri tenent, | ||
| He does not see the rocky slip, | He sees not the yawing breakers, | Non videt scopulos ille, | ||
| He only regards dreaded height. | He sees but the maid alone: | Ocli non si sursum vident. | ||
| I believe the turbulent waves | The pitiless billwos engulf him!- | Opinor undas devorare | ||
| Swallow the last shipper and boat; | So perish sailor and bark; | Nautam cum navicula, | ||
| She with her singing craves | And this, with her baleful singing, | Effecit solo canendo | ||
| All to visit her magic moat. | Is the Lorelei's gruesome work. | Lurleia id dea. | ||
