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

Široké rukávy a široké gatě
Language: Czech (Čeština)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE ITA
Široké rukávy a široké gatě
volnější cigánu nežli dolman v zlatě.
Dolman a to zlato bujná prsa svírá;
pod ním volná píseň násilně umírá.
A kdo raduješ se, tvá kdy píseň v květě,
přej si, aby zašlo zlato v celém světě!

Wide sleeves
Language: English  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Wide sleeves and broad trousers give
more freedom than a robe of gold.
The robe of gold constricts the chest
and the song within the body dies.
He who is happy -- his song blooms with the desire
that the whole world would lose its taste for gold.
