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

Lied eines Kindes
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Lauter Freude fühl' ich,
Lauter Liebe hör' ich,
Ich so überglücklich
Fröhlich spielend Kind.

Dort der gute Vater,
Hier die liebe Mutter,
Rundherum wir Kinder
Froh und fröhlich sind.

Note: the music for the final line was supplied by Reinhard van Hoorickx because Schubert's fragment breaks off after a repetition of the preceding line (stanza 2, line 3).

A child's song
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I can feel intense joy,
I can hear intense love,
I am more than happy,
A child playing merrily.

There is my good father,
Here is my loving mother,
All around we children
Are happy and merry.
