Loreley

Your voice fades
My heart breaks
My love has gone away

Gently flows the Rhine
In fading rays of sunshine
Tempting songs echoed
Through the valley

When the boat came close
To the mountain peak
They see something glittering
In the evening sun

This wondrous maiden upon the cliff
She is singing alluring songs
While she's combing her long golden hair
Where does she come from this beautiful maiden

Loreley
I hear your voice
Loreley
Sing only for me
Loreley

Her beautiful voice
Pulled me under your spell
Her enchanting eyes led me astray

Loreley
I hear your voice
Loreley
She sang to me

My heart wasn't immune for cupid's arrows when I saw you
I finally found my jolly sailor bold
Do you want to love me too?
Forever and ever
You will always be in my arms
I will bring you joy and laughter
Can you resist my charms?

Her voice lingered in my mind
Forgetting time and place
I felt my heart would be safe in your hands
I want to devour your love, your heart
I want to bite my initials in your neck

Loreley
I hear your voice
Loreley
Sing only for me

No one was aware
Of the tragedy that would unfold
They rather looked up the mountain than the rock below

As the ship crashed, Loreley dived into the water
One by one she pulled the enchanted men down
To her underwater palace where they would remain forever

And so the maiden was not seen the next day
As she dwelt in the cold depths of the water beds
At night, she would reappear in the moonlight on the rock
To sing her tempting songs and lure men into their eternal grave
Your voice hasn't been heard for ages, but your myth lives on eternally
