        An ancient legend of the Rhine    
 
Min kaptas malgaj' en la koro,   Ignoro, quid id sibi velit,   I cannot divine what it meaneth,   I do not know what it signifies.
pro kio tia trist'?   Tristissimus cur sim,   This haunting nameless pain:   That I am so sorrowful?
Fabel' el antikva foro   Antiqui aevi fabellam   A tale of the bygone ages   A fable of old Times so terrifies,
ne lasas de mi kun persist'.   Cur saepe volverim.   Keeps brooding through my brain:   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.
 
Aere fridetas, trankvilas,   Vesperascit et frigescit,   The faint air cools in the gloaming,   The air is cool and it darkens,
malhelas jam la Rejn'.   Et Rhenus leniter it,   And peaceful flows the Rhine,   And calmly flows the Rhine;
La monto surpinte brilas   Cacumen montis lucescit,   The thirsty summits are drinking   The summit of the mountain hearkens
vespere en rava scen'.   Dum Phoebus occidit.   The sunset's flooding wine;   In evening sunshine line.
 
Tre ĉarma feino sidas,   Sedet in summo montis   The loveliest maiden is sitting   The most beautiful Maiden entrances
jen supre por ador';   Virgo pulcherrima,   High-throned in yon blue air,   Above wonderfully there,
la ora ornamo ridas;   Auro nitet gemma frontis,   Her golden jewels are shining,   Her beautiful golden attire glances,
ŝi kombas harojn el or'.   Se pectit auricoma.   She combs her golden hair;   She combs her golden hair.
 
Ŝi kombas per ora kombilo   Aureolo pectine pectit,   She combs with comb that is golden,   With golden comb so lustrous,
kaj kantas kun pasi';   Carmen canens procul,   And sings a weird refrain   And thereby a song sings,
mirigas min la elbrilo   Mirandum id habet modum   That steeps in a deadly enchantment   It has a tone so wondrous,
kaj forto de l' melodi'.   Nec non virilem simul.   The listener's ravished brain:   That powerful melody rings.
 
Ŝipisto ŝipeton gvidas,   In cymba navitam mille   The doomed in his drifting shallop,   The shipper in the little ship
lin kaptas ve' de ekzalt'.   Angores feri tenent,   Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   It effects with woe sad might;
Li ja la rifojn ne vidas',   Non videt scopulos ille,   He sees not the yawing breakers,   He does not see the rocky slip,
li vidas nur supren sen halt'.   Ocli non si sursum vident.   He sees but the maid alone:   He only regards dreaded height.
 
Mi kredas, ke ondoj tiras   Opinor undas devorare   The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   I believe the turbulent waves
la ŝipon funden de l' Rejn';   Nautam cum navicula,   So perish sailor and bark;   Swallow the last shipper and boat;
kaj tio de l' kant' eliras   Effecit solo canendo   And this, with her baleful singing,   She with her singing craves
de Lorelaj-siren'.   Lurleia id dea.   Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   All to visit her magic moat.
