Additional quotes by Heinrich Heine
Лорелай
Не зная какво означава,
Но мъчи ме смътна тъга;
Легенда прастара не дава
Покой на ума ми сега.
В прохлада денят си отива,
А Рейн в полумрака мълчи;
Планинският връх се облива
В сетните ярки лъчи.
Там чудно красиво момиче
Върху канарата седи,
Ликът й е в злато обкичен
И златни коси тя реди.
Разресва ги с гребена златен
И песен запява в нощта;
Звукът й е сладък и властен,
Най-дивният на света.
Лодкаря, замаян от грижа,
Изпълва тя с дива печал;
Скалите подводни не вижда,
А гледа върха онемял.
И вярвам, вълните поглъщат
Каика с лодкаря накрай;
Това с песента си могъща
Е сторила Лорелай
Still is the night, it quiets the streets down,
In that window my love would appear;
She's long since gone away from this town,
But this house where she lived still remains here.
A man stands here too, staring up into space,
And wrings his hands with the strength of his pain:
It chills me, when I behold his pale face
For the moon shows me my own features again!
You spirit double, you specter with my face
Why do you mock my love-pain so
That tortured me here, here in this place
So many nights, so long ago?
