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

by Walther von der Vogelweide (1170? - 1228?)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Die verschwiegene Nachtigall
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Mittelhochdeutsch 
Unter der Linden auf der Heide,
da unser zweier Ruhe was,
da möget ihr finden, wie wir beide
Blumen brachen und das Gras.
Vor dem Wald in einem Tal,
tandaradei,
schöne sang die Nachtigall,
tandaradei.

Ich kam gegangen zu der Stelle,
mein Friedel war schon kommen eh';
mich hat empfangen mein Geselle,
dass ich bin selig immermeh.
Ob er mir auch Küsse bot,
tandaradei,
seht, wie ist mein Mund so rot,
tandaradei.

Wie mir zu Mute, wüsst' es einer,
behüte Gott, ich grämte mich.
Wie mich der Gute herzte - keiner
erfahre das als er und ich
und ein kleines Vögelein,
tandaradei,
das wird wohl verschwiegen sein,
tandaradei!
