What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You told me tales of love and glory
2
Same old sad songs, same old story
3
The sirens sing no lullaby
4
And no-one knows but Lorelei
5
By castles out of fairytales
6
Timbers shivered where once there sailed
7
The lovesick men who caught her eye
8
And no-one knew but Lorelei
9
River, river have mercy
10
Take me down to the sea
11
For if I perish on these rocks
12
My love no more I'll see
13
I've thought of you in far-off places
14
I've puzzled over lipstick traces
15
So help me God, I will not cry
16
And then I think of Lorelei
17
I travel far and wander wide
18
No photograph of you beside me
19
Ol' man River's not so shy
20
And he remembers Lorelei
21
River, river have mercy
22
Take me down to the sea
23
For if I perish on these rocks
24
My love no more I'll see
25
If I should float upon this stream
26
And see you in my madman's dream
27
I'd sink into your troubled eyes
28
And none would know 'cept Lorelei
29
River, river have mercy
30
Take me down to the sea
31
For if I perish on these rocks
32
My love no more I'll see
33
But if my ship, which sails tomorrow
34
Should crash against these rocks,
35
My sorrows I will drown before I die
36
It's you I'll see, not Lorelei
