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 Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Det var den tappre löjtnant Zidén,
Han hade sin egen sed,
För fronten ville han gå allen:
"Framåt, mina vasagossar,
Nu gäller att hinna med!"

Främst ville han gå var fara emot,
Hans folk fick trampa hans stråt.
Gud nåde den, som var trög på fot,
Så löjtnanten ropat, gossar:
"Hurra, mina män, framåt!"
