Lyrics and translation
Original
It's a sailor's tale as old as time.
You're looking for treasures you'll never find.
You can hear a lonely voice in the midnight air, sounds right around the corner, but she ain't nowhere, no. Lorelei, Lorelei,
I still hear you whisper in the dead of night.
You wreck my world and I don't know why. I keep my sails in the wind for you, Lorelei,
Lorelei.
I try to cover my ears and close my eyes, so I don't go falling for your wicked lies. But I have and I will another hundred times.
The more I'm looking for you, girl, the less I find, good Lord.
Lorelei, Lorelei, I still hear you whisper in the dead of night.
You wreck my world and I don't know why. I keep my sails in the wind for you, Lorelei, Lorelei.
Sometimes I wonder if you're only in my head, but I ain't giving up on us just yet.
I can't.
Lorelei, Lorelei, I still hear you whisper every time I close my eyes. You always wreck my world and I don't know why.
I keep my sails to the wind for you, Lorelei, all right. Lorelei,
Lorelei, I still hear you whisper in the dead of night.
You wreck my world and I don't know why.
I keep my sails in the wind for you, Lorelei, and I'll be coming back again for you, Lorelei, Lorelei.
