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

Allá Arriba, En Aquella Montaña
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Allá arriba, en aquella montaña, 
yo corté una caña, yo corté un clavel.
Labrador ha de ser, labrador,
que mi amante lo es.
No le quiero molinero, 
que me da con el maquilandero.
Yo le quiero labrador, 
que coja las mulas y se vaya a arar 
y a la medianoche me venga a rondar.
Entra labrador si vienes a verme. 
Si vienes a verme ven por el corral,
sube por el naranjo, que seguro vas.
Entra labrador si vienes a verme.
