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

by Johann Jakob Engel (1741 - 1802)

Minna
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
Schon fesselt Lieb’ und Ehre mich,
Schon ist mein Herz verschenkt.
Umsonst bemüht der Jünglich sich,
Der mich zu reizen denkt.
 
Der Himmel gab mir fröhlich Blut,
Es wallet leicht und frei.
Doch ewig hass ich Wankelmut,
Doch ewig bleib’ ich treu.
 
Dem Freunde voll Bescheidenheit
Verweig ich keinen Kuss;
Allein mein Herz ist dem geweiht,
Dem es geweiht sein muss.
