New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

1. Liebe Schwalbe
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe,
Du fliegst auf und singst so früh,
Streuest durch die Himmelsbläue
Deine süße Melodie.

Die da schlafen noch am Morgen,
Alle Liebende in Ruh',
Mit dem zwitschernden Gesange
Die Versunk'nen weckest du.

Auf! nun auf! ihr Liebesschläfer,
Weil die Morgenschwalbe rief;
Denn die Nacht wird den betrügen,
Der den hellen Tag verschlief.

2. Klagen ist der Mond gekommen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Klagen ist der Mond gekommen
Vor der Sonne Angesicht,
Soll ihm noch der Himmel frommen,
Da du Glanz ihm nahmst und Licht?

Seine Sterne ging er zählen,
Und er will vor Leid vergehn:
Zwei der schönsten Sterne fehlen,
Die in Deinem Antlitz stehn.

3. Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fensterlein, nachts bist du zu,
Tust auf dich am Tag mir zu Leide:
Mit Nelken umringelt bist du;
O öffne dich, Augenweide!

Fenster aus köstlichen Stein,
Drinnen die Sonne, die Sterne da draußen,
O Fensterlein heimlich und klein,
Sonne da drinnen und Rosen da draußen.

4. Ich gehe des Nachts
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich gehe des Nachts, wie der Mond thut geh'n,
Ich suche, wo den Geliebten sie haben;
Da hab' ich den Tod, den finstern, geseh'n.
Er sprach: such' nicht, ich hab' ihn begraben.

5. Blaues Sternlein
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Blaues Sternlein, du sollst schweigen,
Das Geheimnis gib nicht kund,
Sollst nicht allen Leuten zeigen
Unsern stillen Herzensbund.

Mögen and're stehn in Schmerzen,
Jeder sage, was er will;
Sind zufrieden unsre Herzen,
Sind wir beide gerne still.

6. Briefchen schrieb ich
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Briefchen schrieb und warf in den Wind ich,
Sie fielen ins Meer, und sie fielen auf Sand.
Ketten von Schnee und von Eise, die bind' ich,
Die Sonne zerschmilzt sie in meiner Hand.

Maria, Maria, du sollst es dir merken:
Am Ende gewinnt, wer dauert im Streit,
Maria, Maria, das sollst du bedenken:
Es siegt, wer dauert in Ewigkeit.
