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

Translation by Johann Gottfried Herder (1744 - 1803)

Junges Mädchen, komm, o Mädchen!
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Estonian (Eesti keel) 
Junges Mädchen, komm, o Mädchen!
Ei, was horchst du in der Kammer?
Stehst da blöde hinter Wänden,
Lauschest durch die kleinen Spalten.
Junges Mädchen, komm, o Mädchen,
Lerne die Verwandschaft kennen,
Lerne deine Freund' empfangen,
Deine Schwiegermutter grüssen,
Deiner Schwägrin Hände reichen.
Schwiegermutter, Schwiegerinnen
Stehen all' in Silbermützen --
Junges Mädchen, komm, o Mädchen.
