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