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

Was quälst du mich, o Mißgeschick!
Language: German (Deutsch)

Was quälst du mich, o Mißgeschick!
Will der Gedanke mich nicht fliehen?
Ich sauge Lust aus ihrem Blick.
Hinweg! Ach, mächtig fühl'ich's glühen!

In tiefbewegter Brust
regt sich ein leises Sehnen,
kaum meiner selbst bewußt,
darf ich dies Glück nicht wähnen.

O schweig, betrognes Herz!
Verstummt, vergebne Klagen!
Dem Manne ziemt nicht Schmerz,
er muß mit Fassung tragen.

Perchè mi affliggi, cattiva sorte!
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Perché mi affliggi, cattiva sorte!
Finirà mai questo pensiero?
Ricavo gioia dallo sguardo suo.
Via di qua! Mi sento tutto bruciare!

Nell'animo profondamente turbato
si desta una tenera brama,
di cui ho appena coscienza,
e questa gioia non oso immaginare.

Taci, cuore ingannato!
Vani lamenti, tacete voi pure!
Un uomo non mostra il dolore,
ma con fermezza lo deve sopportare.
