Heinrich Heine,
The Lorelei

 

Heinrich Heine,
The Lorelei

 

Heinrich Heine,
Die Lorelei

 
translated by Mark Twain   translated by L. W. Garnham    
 
An ancient legend of the Rhine        
 
I cannot divine what it meaneth,   I do not know what it signifies.   Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
This haunting nameless pain:   That I am so sorrowful?   daß ich so traurig bin;
A tale of the bygone ages   A fable of old Times so terrifies,   ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
Keeps brooding through my brain:   Leaves my heart so thoughtful.   das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
 
The faint air cools in the gloaming,   The air is cool and it darkens,   Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,   And calmly flows the Rhine;   und ruhig fließt der Rhein;
The thirsty summits are drinking   The summit of the mountain hearkens   der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
The sunset's flooding wine;   In evening sunshine line.   im Abendsonnenschein.
 
The loveliest maiden is sitting   The most beautiful Maiden entrances   Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
High-throned in yon blue air,   Above wonderfully there,   dort oben wunderbar,
Her golden jewels are shining,   Her beautiful golden attire glances,   ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet,
She combs her golden hair;   She combs her golden hair.   sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
 
She combs with comb that is golden,   With golden comb so lustrous,   Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme,
And sings a weird refrain   And thereby a song sings,   und singt ein Lied dabei;
That steeps in a deadly enchantment   It has a tone so wondrous,   das hat eine wundersame,
The listener's ravished brain:   That powerful melody rings.   gewaltige Melodei.
 
The doomed in his drifting shallop,   The shipper in the little ship   Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,   It effects with woe sad might;   ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
He sees not the yawing breakers,   He does not see the rocky slip,   er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
He sees but the maid alone:   He only regards dreaded height.   er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh.
 
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-   I believe the turbulent waves   Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
So perish sailor and bark;   Swallow the last shipper and boat;   am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
And this, with her baleful singing,   She with her singing craves   und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.   All to visit her magic moat.   die Lorelei getan.
