Is it necessary to listen to all the Child Ballads to produce a competent translation of Heine's Lorelei (such as I have yet to encounter in English?) Absolutely not. Is it helpful to familiarize oneself with the anglophone balladic idiom in order to understand the role of the Germanic one in conversation with Heine's work? Probably. Am I looking for an excuse to listen to more Child Ballads? Yes, definitely.
Die Lorelei / The Lorelei
1870
Artist : Albert Ludovici (1820-1894)
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
Daß ich so traurig bin,
Ein Märchen aus uralten Zeiten,
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
“Die Lorelei”. Heinrich Heine.
Die Lorelei
by Heinrich Heine
(Die Lorelei by Helen Stratton,1915)
Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten,
Dass ich so traurig bin;
Ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
Und ruhig fliesst der Rhein;
Der Gipfel des Berges funkelt
Im Abendsonnenschein.
Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet
Dort oben wunderbar,
Ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet,
Sie kämmt ihr goldenes Haar.
Sie kämmt es mit goldenem Kamme
Und singt ein Lied dabei,
Das hat eine wundersame,
Gewalt'ge Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
Ergreift es mit wildem Weh;
Er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
Er schaut nur hinauf in die Höh’.
Ich glaube, die Wellen verschlingen
Am Ende Schiffer und Kahn;
Und das hat mit ihrem Singen
Die Lorelei getan.
