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

Stimme der Liebe

Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Meine Selinde! denn mit Engelstimme
Singt die Liebe mir zu: sie wird die Deine!
[Wird]1 die Meine! Himmel und Erde schwinden!
Meine Selinde!

Thränen der Sehnsucht, die auf blassen Wangen
Bebten, fallen herab als Freudenthränen!
Denn mir tönt die himmlische Stimme: deine
Wird sie! die Deine!

Stem van de liefde
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
O, mijn Selinde! Want met eng'lenklanken
Zingt de liefde mij toe: Zij wordt de jouwe!
Zij wordt de mijne! Hemel en aarde1 verdwijnen!
O, mijn Selinde!
 
Tranen van hunkering, die op bleke wangen beefden,
Vallen nu neer als vreugdetranen!
Want mij zingt de hemelse stem toe:
De2 jouwe wordt zij, de jouwe!
