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

Des Durstes Erklärung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Immer schwitzend, immer sitzend:
Fort ist Rock und fort die Litzen!
  Hört! Frau Sonne war verliebt;
Ganz bestimmt ich's weiß:
  Und in mich war sie verliebt,
Drum ward mir so heiß.

Ihres Auges glühend RUnd
  Spähte stets nach mir,
Überall verfolgt sie mich,
  Und nirgends RUh vor ihr!
Schweißes perlen, großen Durst
  Schaffte diese Lieb'.
Als gestillt der Höllenbrand,
  Nichts im Sack mir blieb.
