Heinrich Heine,
The Lorelei

 

Heinrich Heine,
Lorelejo

 
translated by Mark Twain   translated by Joachim Gießner
 
An ancient legend of the Rhine    
 
I cannot divine what it meaneth,   Malgajon mi sentas en koro,
This haunting nameless pain:   sed kial tia tim'?
A tale of the bygone ages   Legendo el pratempa foro
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Vagadas tra mia anim'.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   Jam fluas la Rejn' en malhelo,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   kaj malvarmetas l' aer'.
The thirsty summits are drinking   Sed brilas la mont' en orbelo
The sunset's flooding wine;   pro suna lum' de l' vesper'.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   Jen supre kabino provokas
High-throned in yon blue air,   per ora juvelar',
Her golden jewels are shining,   kaj ŝia beleco allogas
She combs her golden hair;   kaj ŝia ora harar'.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   Ŝi kombas ĝin, kantas sorĉige,
And sings a weird refrain   sirene kantas ŝi
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   per neimagebla, mirige
The listener's ravished brain:   potenca melodi'.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   Ŝipiston en eta boato
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   Turmentas koremoci'.
He sees not the yawing breakers,   Ne ĝenas lin rifo-kaskado,
He sees but the maid alone:   rigardas nur supren al ŝi!
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   Ĝis tiras kun si al Rejn-fundo
So perish sailor and bark;   la ondoj lin kun boat'.
And this, with her baleful singing,   Nun kuŝas li en la profundo
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   pro Loreleja kantad'.
