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