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

Se tu della mia morte
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Se tu della mia morte
A questa destra forte
La gloria non vuoi dar,
Dalla a'tuoi lumi.

E il dardo
Del tuo sguardo
Sia quello che m'uccida
E mi consumi.

If you, by this strong right hand
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano) 
If you,
by this strong right hand
do not want to give the glory of my death,
you give it with your own eyes

for the dart
of your gaze
is that which kills me
and consumes me.
