Loreley, by: Krupa-Krupinski 1899 （万维）


《罗蕾莱之歌》

不知道什么缘故，cannot determine the meaning
我是这样的悲哀；Of sorrow that fills my breast:
一个古代的童话，A fable of old, through it streaming,
我总是不能忘怀。Allows my mind no rest.
天色晚，空气清冷，The air is cool in the gloaming
莱茵河静静地流；And gently flows the Rhine.
落日的光辉The crest of the mountain is gleaming
照耀着山头。In fading rays of sunshine.
那最美丽的少女The loveliest maiden is sitting
坐在上边，神采焕发，Up there, so wondrously fair;
金黄的首饰闪铄，Her golden jewelry is glist'ning;
她梳理金黄的头发。She combs her golden hair.
她用金黄的梳子梳，She combs with a gilded comb, preening,
还唱着一支歌曲；And sings a song, passing time.
这歌曲的声调，It has a most wondrous, appealing
有迷人的魔力。And pow'rful melodic rhyme.
小船里的船夫The boatman aboard his small skiff,
感到狂想的痛苦；Enraptured with a wild ache,
他不看水里的暗礁，Has no eye for the jagged cliff,
却只是仰望高处。His thoughts on the heights fear forsake.
我知道，最后波浪I think that the waves will devour
吞没了船夫和小船；Both boat and man, by and by,
罗雷莱用她的歌唱And that, with her dulcet-voiced power
造下了这场灾难。Was done by the Loreley.
