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

Mañanita de San Juan
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
Mañanita de San Juan,
levántate tempranito
y en la ventana verás 
de hierbabuena un poquito.

Aquella paloma blanca
que pica en el arcipiés, 
que por dónde la cogeria,
que por dónde la cogeré;
si la cojo por el pico 
se me escapa por los pies.

Coge niño la enramada, 
que la noche está serena
y la música resuena 
en lo profundo del mar.
