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,   Ignoro, quid id sibi velit,   Ne scias mi, kial mi estas
This haunting nameless pain:   Tristissimus cur sim,   Malgaja en la kor’.
A tale of the bygone ages   Antiqui aevi fabellam   Antikva fabelo restas
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Cur saepe volverim.   Por ĉiam en mia memor’.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   Vesperascit et frigescit,   Vespero jam ekmalheliĝas,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   Et Rhenus leniter it,   Fluadas la Rejn’ en trankvil’,
The thirsty summits are drinking   Cacumen montis lucescit,   La supro de l’ monto lumiĝas
The sunset's flooding wine;   Dum Phoebus occidit.   En vespersuna bril’.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   Sedet in summo montis   Belega knabino jen tronas
High-throned in yon blue air,   Virgo pulcherrima,   Kun ora juvelar’,
Her golden jewels are shining,   Auro nitet gemma frontis,   La belan vizaĝon kronas
She combs her golden hair;   Se pectit auricoma.   Mirinde la ora harar’.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   Aureolo pectine pectit,   Ŝi uzas kombilon el oro
And sings a weird refrain   Carmen canens procul,   Kaj dume kantas ŝi.
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   Mirandum id habet modum   Mirige tuŝas al koro
The listener's ravished brain:   Nec non virilem simul.   Sorĉiga la melodi’.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   In cymba navitam mille   Kaj sopiregon eksentas
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   Angores feri tenent,   Ŝipisto dum sia vetur’;
He sees not the yawing breakers,   Non videt scopulos ille,   Rifaron li ne priatentas,
He sees but the maid alone:   Ocli non si sursum vident.   Al monto rigardas li nur.
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   Opinor undas devorare   Mi kredas, ke dronos finfine
So perish sailor and bark;   Nautam cum navicula,   Ŝipisto kun sia boat’,
And this, with her baleful singing,   Effecit solo canendo   Kaj tion kaŭzis feine
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   Lurleia id dea.   La Loreleja kantad’.
