| Merrily we sailed along, |
| Though the waves were plenty strong, |
| Down the twisted river Rhine, |
| Following the song. |
| Legend’s faded storyline |
| Tried to warn us all, |
| Oh, they called her Loreley, |
| Careful or you’ll fall… |
| All the stories we were told, |
| Quite a vision to behold, |
| Mysteries of the seas |
| In her eyes of gold. |
| Laying on a silver stone, |
| Such a lonely sight, |
| Barnacles become a throne, |
| My poor Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| You would not believe your eyes, |
| How a voice could hypnotize, |
| Promises are only lies, |
| From Loreley. |
| In a shade of mossy green, |
| Seashell in her hand, |
| She was born the River Queen, |
| Ne’er to grace the land… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| Oh, the song of Loreley |
| Charms the moon right from the sky, |
| She will get inside your mind, |
| Lovely Loreley. |
| When she cries «Be with me, |
| Until the end of time,» |
| You know you will ever be With your Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
| And the winds would cry, |
| And many men would die, |
| And all the waves would bow down |
| To the Loreley… |
