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

Illalle
Language: Finnish (Suomi) 
Oi, terve! tumma, vieno tähti-ilta,
Sun haaveellista hartauttas lemmin 
Ja suortuvaisi yötä sorjaa hemmin,
Mi hulmuaapi kulmais kuulamilta.

Kun oisit, ilta, oi, se tenhosilta,
Mi sielun multa siirtäis lentoisammin
Pois aatteen maille itse kun ma emmin,
Ja siip' ei kanna aineen kahlehilta!

Ja itse oisin miekkoinen se päivä,
Mi uupuneena saisin luokses liitää,
Kun tauonnut on työ ja puuha räivä,

Kun mustasiipi yö jo silmään siitää
Ja laaksot, vuoret verhoo harmaa häivä -
Oi, ilta armas, silloin luokses kiitää!
