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

Giusto Amor
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
Giusto amor tu che m'accendi, 
Mi consiglia, e mi difendi 
Nel periglio, e nel timor.

La cagion solo tu sei
Del mio ben, de’ mali miei ;
Tu se guida 
All’alma fida
Contro il barbaro furor.

Righteous Love
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Righteous Love, who ignites me,
counsel me and defend me 
from danger and fear.

You are the only reason
for both my happiness and my suffering.
You protect a truly faithful soul
from barbarous fury.
