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

Cora an die Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Nach so vielen trüben Tagen
Send' uns wiederum einmal,
Mitleidsvoll für unsre Klagen,
Einen sanften milden Strahl.

Liebe Sonne! trink den Regen,
Der herab zu stürzen dräut,
Deine Strahlen sind uns Segen,
Deine Blicke - Seligkeit.

Schein', ach, scheine, liebe Sonne!
Jede Freude dank' ich dir;
Alle [Geists-]1 und Herzenswonne,
Licht und Wärme kommt von dir.

Cora au soleil
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Après tant de jours lugubres
Envoie-nous une fois de plus,
Plein de pour nos plaintes,
Un rayon de compassion tendre et doux.

Cher soleil ! bois la pluie
Qui menace de se déverser ;
Tes rayons sont une bénédiction pour nous,
Ton regard, un bonheur.

Brille, ah, brille, cher soleil !
Je te remercie pour chaque joie ;
Toute joie de l'esprit et du cœur,
Lumière et chaleur, viennent de toi.
