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

Spleen
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dans un vieux square où l'océan
Du mauvais temps met son séant
Sur un banc triste aux yeux de pluie
C'est d'une blonde
Rosse et gironde
Que je m'ennuie
Dans ce cabaret du Néant
Qu'est notre vie.

Depression
Language: English  after the French (Français) 
 While in the gardens the sea of rotten
 weather weighs down with his bottom
 an old park-bench with eyes of rain ...
 there is a blonde, 
 all bosom and strife,
 who's making you jaded
 in this whole hollow cabaret
 which is our life.
