German Text:
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
Daß ich so traurig bin,
Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl, und es dunkelt,
Und ruhig fließt der Rhein;
Der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
Im Abendsonnenschein.
Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
Dort oben wunderbar,
Ihr goldenes Geschmeide blitzet,
Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme,
Und singt ein Lied dabei;
Das hat eine wundersame
Gewaltige Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe,
Ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
Und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Die Lorelei getan.
English Translation:
I don’t know what it could mean
That I am so sad;
There’s a tale from old times
That I can’t get out of my mind.
The air is cool and dusk settles,
And the Rhine flows quietly by.
The top of the mountain glitters
In the evening sunshine.
The most beautiful girl sits
Up high like a vision,
Her golden jewelry sparkles
As she combs her golden hair.
She combs it with a golden comb
While she sings a song;
It has a wondrously
Powerful melody.
The boatman in his craft,
Is moved by this to great woe;
He looks not to the rock shoals below,
He looks only to the heights above.
If I’m not mistaken, the waters
Finally swallowed up boatman and boat;
And with her singing
The Lorelei did this.
