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

Adolfo
 Doch im Getümmel der Schlacht,
 Umrungen von Gräuel und Blut
 Gab mir nicht Ehre und Macht
 Zu siegen den blitzenden Muth.
 Nur deine süße Gestalt,
 Die mir im Kampfe erschien,
 Zog mich mit Himmelsgewalt
 Durch die drohenden Feinde dahin.
 Nur dein lächelnder Blick
 Gab mir die Stärke, den Sieg,
 Nur dein liebender Blick
 Gibt mir Belohnung und Glück.

Mais dans la mêlée de la bataille
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Adolfo
 Mais dans la mêlée de la bataille
 Entouré d'horreur et de sang,
 Il ne m'était donné ni honneur ni pouvoir
 Pour vaincre la vaillance
 Seulement ta douce forme,
 Qui m'est apparue dans le combat,
 M'a conduit avec la force du ciel
 À travers l'ennemi menaçant.
 Seul ton regard souriant
 M'a donné la force pour la victoire.
 Seul ton regard tendre 
 Me donne la récompense et le bonheur.
