An ancient legend of the Rhine            
 
I cannot divine what it meaneth,   I do not know what it signifies.   Ignoro, quid id sibi velit,   Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
This haunting nameless pain:   That I am so sorrowful?   Tristissimus cur sim,   daß ich so traurig bin;
A tale of the bygone ages   A fable of old Times so terrifies,   Antiqui aevi fabellam   ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.   Cur saepe volverim.   das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   The air is cool and it darkens,   Vesperascit et frigescit,   Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   And calmly flows the Rhine;   Et Rhenus leniter it,   und ruhig fließt der Rhein;
The thirsty summits are drinking   The summit of the mountain hearkens   Cacumen montis lucescit,   der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
The sunset's flooding wine;   In evening sunshine line.   Dum Phoebus occidit.   im Abendsonnenschein.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   The most beautiful Maiden entrances   Sedet in summo montis   Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
High-throned in yon blue air,   Above wonderfully there,   Virgo pulcherrima,   dort oben wunderbar,
Her golden jewels are shining,   Her beautiful golden attire glances,   Auro nitet gemma frontis,   ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet,
She combs her golden hair;   She combs her golden hair.   Se pectit auricoma.   sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   With golden comb so lustrous,   Aureolo pectine pectit,   Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme,
And sings a weird refrain   And thereby a song sings,   Carmen canens procul,   und singt ein Lied dabei;
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   It has a tone so wondrous,   Mirandum id habet modum   das hat eine wundersame,
The listener's ravished brain:   That powerful melody rings.   Nec non virilem simul.   gewaltige Melodei.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   The shipper in the little ship   In cymba navitam mille   Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   It effects with woe sad might;   Angores feri tenent,   ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
He sees not the yawing breakers,   He does not see the rocky slip,   Non videt scopulos ille,   er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
He sees but the maid alone:   He only regards dreaded height.   Ocli non si sursum vident.   er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   I believe the turbulent waves   Opinor undas devorare   Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
So perish sailor and bark;   Swallow the last shipper and boat;   Nautam cum navicula,   am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
And this, with her baleful singing,   She with her singing craves   Effecit solo canendo   und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   All to visit her magic moat.   Lurleia id dea.   die Lorelei getan.
