In the depths of the river
|
Deep in the waves
|
Three rhinemaidens are singing
|
Songs of the brave
|
|
An ugly dwarf
|
Greedy with pleasure
|
Desires the gold,
|
Tries to steal the treasure
|
|
Guardians of the holy treasure
|
No cheat should steal it from the river
|
Gleaming glow in the water's depth
|
Shines brightly, bravely through the waves
|
|
Rheingold, Rheingold
|
Rheingold, Rheingold
|
|
Who denies love
|
Who forfeits its power
|
Can attain the magic
|
To forge a ring
|
|
If you are enarmoured
|
And longing for love
|
Let's see my handsome
|
What you look like
|
|
Guardians of the holy treasure
|
No cheat should steal it from the river
|
Gleaming glow in the water's depth
|
Shines brightly, bravely through the waves
|
|
Rheingold, Rheingold
|
Rheingold, Rheingold
|
|
Aren't you afraid
|
Brood of the waters
|
Then conquer the dark,
|
And I'll put out your light
|
|
I wrench the gold from the rock
|
Forge the ring of revenge
|
For hell and the devil
|
I curse my love
|
|
Guardians of the holy treasure
|
No cheat should steal it from the river
|
Who from the Rheingold will fashion the ring
|
Win the world's wealth and will be king
|
