Guillaume Apollinaire - La Loreley dalszöveg fordítás angol nyelvre

The Lorelei

In Bacharach there was a blond witch
who let all men around die of love for her.
 
The bishop had her summoned to his court
but absolved her right away thanks to her beauty.
 
O pretty Lorelei with your eyes full of jewels,
which wizard bestowed his sorcery on you?
 
I am tired of living and my eyes are cursed,
bishop. All those who looked at me met their demise.
 
My eyes are not jewels, but flames. Why don't you
cast all that witchcraft into the fire?
 
I am burning amid those flames, O pretty Lorelei.
Let another condemn you, you bewitched me.
 
You must be joking, bishop. You'd better pray the Virgin,
put me to death and may God protect you.
 
My lover left for a land faraway, why don't you
put me to death, since I feel no more love?
 
My heart aches so that I am bound to die,
a mere glance at myself would force me to die.
 
My heart aches so since he left,
My heart ached so the day he left.
 
The bishop summoned three knights armed with lances:
'bring to a coven this demented woman'
 
Begone, crazed Lorelei, away with your trembling eyes.
You'll be a nun, clad in black and white.
 
And so they set forth, the four of them,
The Lorelei begged them, her eyes shining like stars.
 
Knights, allow me to climb this rock so high
to see my fair castle one last time,
 
to watch one last time my reflection in the river,
and then I shall join the coven of maidens and widows.
 
Up there the wind twisted her unfurled hair
and the knights yelled 'Lorelei, Lorelei...'
 
Yonder on the Rhine a skiff is sailing by,
on which stands my lover. He saw me, he beckons.
 
My heart mellows so, my lover is coming.
She then leans over and falls into the Rhine
 
for having seen in the water the pretty Lorelei,
her Rhine coloured eyes and her hair of sunlight.
