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

Tanzlied des Pierrots
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE ITA SPA
Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück.
Im Tanze gewann ich, verlor ich mein Glück.
Im Tanze am Rhein, bei Mondenschein,
gestand mir's aus Blauaug ein inniger Blick,
gestand mir's ihr bittend Wort:
o bleib, o geh mit nicht fort,
bewahre der Heimat still blühendes Glück,
mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück.
Zauber der Ferne warf in die Seele den Brand,
Zauber des Tanzes lockte, ward Komödiant.
Folgt ihr, der Wundersüssen,
lernt unter Tränen küssen.
Rausch und Not, Wahn und Glück,
ach, das ist des Gauklers Geschick.
Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück...

Canto de Pierrot
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Mi nostalgia, mi delirio, me transportan en sueños al pasado.
Danzando gané, danzando perdí mi felicidad.
Danzando al borde del Rin, a la luz de la luna,
se confió desde unos ojos azules una mirada amante,
se confió a mí su palabra suplicante:
“Oh quédate, no te vayas
cultiva la felicidad en la tierra natal que todavía florece.”
Mi nostalgia, mi delirio, me transportan en sueños al pasado.
Pero el embrujo de lontananza encendía en mi alma un ardor,
Pero el embrujo de la danza me seducía, y me convertí en comediante.
Seguir lo maravillosamente dulce,
aprender a besar cubierto de lágrimas.
Embriaguez y miseria, locura y felicidad:
Oh, tal es el destino de un saltimbanqui.
Mi nostalgia, mi delirio, me transportan en sueños al pasado.
