    An ancient legend of the Rhine    
 
Ne scias mi, kial subita   I cannot divine what it meaneth,   I do not know what it signifies.
malgaj' en la koro naskiĝis;   This haunting nameless pain:   That I am so sorrowful?
el tempo jam enterigita   A tale of the bygone ages   A fable of old Times so terrifies,
legendo al mi reviviĝis.   Keeps brooding through my brain:   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.
 
Jam malvarmetiĝas l' aero,   The faint air cools in the gloaming,   The air is cool and it darkens,
la Rejno mallaŭte babilas,   And peaceful flows the Rhine,   And calmly flows the Rhine;
per oro de l'sun' en vespero   The thirsty summits are drinking   The summit of the mountain hearkens
la supro de l' monto rebrilas.   The sunset's flooding wine;   In evening sunshine line.
 
Plej belan knabinon mi vidas:   The loveliest maiden is sitting   The most beautiful Maiden entrances
en ora ornamo brilante,   High-throned in yon blue air,   Above wonderfully there,
sur supro de l' monto ŝi sidas,   Her golden jewels are shining,   Her beautiful golden attire glances,
la harojn mistere kombante.   She combs her golden hair;   She combs her golden hair.
 
La oran kombilon ŝi movas   She combs with comb that is golden,   With golden comb so lustrous,
kaj kantas tra l' pura aero,   And sings a weird refrain   And thereby a song sings,
kaj forto mirinda sin trovas   That steeps in a deadly enchantment   It has a tone so wondrous,
en tiu ĉi kant' de l'vespero.   The listener's ravished brain:   That powerful melody rings.
 
Ŝipet' iras sur la rivero,   The doomed in his drifting shallop,   The shipper in the little ship
ŝipisto ektremis de l' kanto,   Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   It effects with woe sad might;
kaj blinda por ĉiu danĝero   He sees not the yawing breakers,   He does not see the rocky slip,
rigardas li al la kantanto.   He sees but the maid alone:   He only regards dreaded height.
 
Ha, baldaŭ ŝipisto la bela   The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   I believe the turbulent waves
perdiĝis sub l' akvoturnado;   So perish sailor and bark;   Swallow the last shipper and boat;
ĝin Lorelej' faris kruela,   And this, with her baleful singing,   She with her singing craves
per sia mirinda kantado.   Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   All to visit her magic moat.
