Beautiful and moving lied about the effects of a Mermaid's singing, sung by Diana Damrau.
In my opinion she's the right person to sing this... ;)
Heinrich Heine, 1822 (1799-1856)

Heinrich Heine, 1822 (1799-1856)
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 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 gold'nes 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.

I knew this version of the song not before. I find it very beautiful. The beginning and the piano sounds like Schuberts"s Erlkönig. I love also very much Der Erlkönig.
