Loreley
Song
Text
by Heinrich Heine written in 1823
I
wonder why I am so weary,
What’s
making me so depressed,
It
must be the tale old and dreary,
That’s
keeping my mind quite obsessed.
The
air is ’cool, night is sinking,
And
quietly ‘flowing the Rhine,
The
tops of the mountains are blinking,
In
purple-red sun-setting shine.
There’s
sitting high up in the light
A
maiden so beautiful, fair
Her
jewels are glistening bright
She
combs her gold shimmering hair.
Her
comb is of most precious gold,
She’s
combing and singing so sweet
Bewitching
young fishers and old
Their
hearts start to quiver and beat.
There’s
a man in his boat on the river,
He
cannot but listen and stare,
A
longing is making him shiver,
Look
out, the rock’s ledge, oh beware!
I
fear there’s a crash, the boat sinking,
The
man will be swallowed and gone,
And
that with melodious singing
The
Loreley will have done. |
