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

Schläfst du, liebes Mädchen?
Öffne deine Thür,
'Kommen ist die Stunde,
Willst du geh'n mit mir?

Hast du keine Schuhe
An den Füßchen schön,
Laß sie, manche Wasser
Hast du [durch zu geh'n]1.

Tief sind, tief die Wasser
Des Guadalquivir:
'Kommen ist die Stunde,
Komm', o komm mit mir!

Serenade
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Are you sleeping, dear maiden?
Open your door;
The hour has come,
Will you come with me?

If you have no shoes
Upon your lovely little feet,
Leave them, there are many waters
Through which you have to pass.

Deep, deep are the waters
Of the Guadalquivir:
The hour has arrived,
Come, oh come with me!
