translated by Mark Twain   translated by Leopold Elb   translated by L. W. Garnham
 
An ancient legend of the Rhine   Tiu traduko estas poste iom modifita de
aliuloj, ne estas la origina traduk-versio
de Leopold Elb.
   
 
I cannot divine what it meaneth,   Ne scias mi, kial mi estas   I do not know what it signifies.
This haunting nameless pain:   Malgaja en la kor’.   That I am so sorrowful?
A tale of the bygone ages   Antikva fabelo restas   A fable of old Times so terrifies,
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Por ĉiam en mia memor’.   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   Vespero jam ekmalheliĝas,   The air is cool and it darkens,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   Fluadas la Rejn’ en trankvil’,   And calmly flows the Rhine;
The thirsty summits are drinking   La supro de l’ monto lumiĝas   The summit of the mountain hearkens
The sunset's flooding wine;   En vespersuna bril’.   In evening sunshine line.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   Belega knabino jen tronas   The most beautiful Maiden entrances
High-throned in yon blue air,   Kun ora juvelar’,   Above wonderfully there,
Her golden jewels are shining,   La belan vizaĝon kronas   Her beautiful golden attire glances,
She combs her golden hair;   Mirinde la ora harar’.   She combs her golden hair.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   Ŝi uzas kombilon el oro   With golden comb so lustrous,
And sings a weird refrain   Kaj dume kantas ŝi.   And thereby a song sings,
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   Mirige tuŝas al koro   It has a tone so wondrous,
The listener's ravished brain:   Sorĉiga la melodi’.   That powerful melody rings.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   Kaj sopiregon eksentas   The shipper in the little ship
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   Ŝipisto dum sia vetur’;   It effects with woe sad might;
He sees not the yawing breakers,   Rifaron li ne priatentas,   He does not see the rocky slip,
He sees but the maid alone:   Al monto rigardas li nur.   He only regards dreaded height.
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   Mi kredas, ke dronos finfine   I believe the turbulent waves
So perish sailor and bark;   Ŝipisto kun sia boat’,   Swallow the last shipper and boat;
And this, with her baleful singing,   Kaj tion kaŭzis feine   She with her singing craves
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   La Loreleja kantad’.   All to visit her magic moat.
