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

Der Flug der Zeit
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Es floh die Zeit im Wirbelfluge
Und trug des Lebens Plan mit sich.
Wohl stürmisch war es auf dem Zuge,
Beschwerlich oft und widerlich.

So ging es fort durch alle Zonen,
Durch Kinderjahre, [Jugendglück]1,
Durch Thäler, wo die Freuden wohnen,
Die sinnend sucht der Sehnsucht Blick.

Bis an der Freundschaft lichtem Hügel
Die Zeit nun sanfter, stiller flog,
Und endlich da die raschen Flügel
In süßer Ruh zusammenbog.

Note: No published source of this poem is known. Most likely Schubert received the text in manuscript form from Széchényi, the dedicatee of Schubert's op. 7.

El volar del temps
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
El temps s’enfugí en un vol terbolinant
i amb ell s’emportà el projecte de la vida.
El viatge fou tempestuós,
sovint penós i desplaent.

Així passà a través de les edats,
a través dels anys d’infantesa, el goig de la joventut,
a través de les valls, on rauen les alegries
que, pensívol, cerca l’esguard de la nostàlgia.

Fins el lluminós tossal de l’amistat
volà el temps, ara més suau, amb més calma,
i allà finalment, en un dolç repòs,
plegà les seves ales rabents.
