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