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

Alfonso:
 Schon wenn es beginnt zu tagen,
 wird in mir die Sehnsucht wach;
 Vögel fliegen, Wolken jagen
 und mein Herz will ihnen nach.

 Mittags lieg'ich an der Quelle
 an dem hellen Silberbach,
 Welle sendet er auf Welle
 und mein Herz eilt jeder nach.

 Seh'ich dann den Abend glühen
 und das Licht stirbt allgemach,
 möcht'ich mit der Sonne ziehen
 ihren gold'nen Strahlen nach.

 Nachts erglänzen tausend Sterne
 an des Himmels blauem Dach,
 mächtig zieht's mich in die Ferne
 ihrem süßen Schimmer nach.

 Und dann lispl'ich in die Saiten
 still ein Schmerz erpresstes Ach,
 schnell entflieht's in alle Weiten
 und mein Herze will ihm nach.

Al zodra 't begint te dagen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Alfonso:
 Al zodra 't begint te dagen,
 Maakt verlangen zijn entree.
 Vogels vliegen, wolken jagen
 En mijn hart wil met hen mee.

 's Middags lig ik aan het water,
 Bij de held're zilv'ren beek,
 Golven stuwt zij, eerder, later,
 En mijn hart volgt al wat week.

 Zie ik dan de dag gaan kwijnen,
 En het licht dooft uit weldra,
 Zou 'k graag met de zon verdwijnen,
 Vlug haar gouden stralen na.

 's Nachts verschijnen duizend sterren
 Aan het blauwe hemeldak,
 Machtig trekt me dat naar 't verre,
 Mee in 't lichtend wereldwak.
 
 En dan lisp'l ik in de snaren
 Stil een smartelijke zucht,
 Snel is die ver weg gevaren
 En mijn hart zoekt ook de vlucht.
