  Ami, lern die Melodei
  Von der Jungfrau Loreley,
  Die dort oben sitzt und kämmt ihr goldnes Haar!
  Wer den Kamm ihr bricht entzwei,
  Bricht sich selbst das G’nick dabei.
  Uralt ist das Märchen, traurig, aber wahr.

  Of the virgin Loreley,
  Who’s sitting up there, combing her golden hair!
  He who breaks her comb in two
  Will break his neck at once.
  Ancient is that tale, sad but true.
