Found a youtube of Die Lorelei with words! This version is from 1939 (!!) You can listen to it (and read the lyrics) here

(I got taught that it's "es dunkelt" in the first verse, and the lyrics written in the description do give that as an option.

Also: the reason I'm so obsessed with this song is because it's literally one of two songs that I know in German. My mum taught it me when I was first learning, and I've made myself a promise that I'm going to learn the other two verses because I'm sick of only knowing the first).

This is the version I usually listen to, and that I think I heard them play on Alpenmelodie one time.
