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

from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Siegfried Kapper (1821 - 1879)

Дјевојка и лице
Language: Serbian (Српски) 
Девојка је крај горе стајала,
Сва се гора од лица сијала,
Девојка је лицу говорила:
"Давор' лице! давор' бриго моја!
"Да ја знадем, моје бело лице,
"Да ће тебе стар војно љубити,
"Ја би ишла у гору зелену,
"Сав би пелен по гори побрала,
"Из пелена б' воду извијала,
"Те би тебе, лице, умивала,
"Кад стар љуби, нека му је горко.
"А да знадем, моје бело лице,
"Да ће тебе млад војно љубити,
"Ја би ишла у зелену башчу,
"Сву би ружу по башчи побрала,
"Из руже би воду извијала,
"Те би тебе, лице, умивала,
"Кад млад љуби, нека му мирише."

Stand das Mädchen, stand am Bergesabhang,
Widerschien der Berg von ihrem Antlitz,
Und das Mädchen sprach zu ihrem Antlitz:
,,Wahrlich, Antlitz, o du meine Sorge,
Wenn ich wüßte, du mein weißes Antlitz,
Daß dereinst ein Alter dich wird küssen,
Ging hinaus ich zu den grünen Bergen,
Pflückte allen Wermut in den Bergen,
Preßte bitt'res Wasser aus dem Wermut,
Wüsche dich, o Antlitz, mit dem Wasser,
Daß du bitter, wenn dich küßt der Alte!
Wüßt' ich aber, du mein weißes Antlitz,
Daß dereinst ein Junger dich wird küssen,
Ging hinaus ich in den grünen Garten,
Pflückte alle Rosen in dem Garten,
Preßte duftend Wasser aus den Rosen,
Wüsche dich, o Antlitz, mit dem Wasser,
Daß du duftest, wenn dich küßt der Junge!``
