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

Schwäbische Treue
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Mein Schatz ist auf die Wanderschaft
  Wohl in die weite Welt,
Aufs Brusttuch, wenn's niemand sieht,
  Ein bittres Tröpfchen fällt.

Ich möcht ihm nach und scheute nicht
  Gestürm noch Wolkensturz,
Wär nur mein Jäckchen nicht so dünn,
  Mein Röcklein gar so kurz!

Bleib' lieber in der Stube drum,
  Da ist's gemütlich warm
Und hinterm Ofen sitzt der Hans,
  Der nimmt mich in seinen Arm.
