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

Caballito criollo
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Caballito criollo del galope corto,
del aliento largo y el instinto fiel!
¡Caballito criollo que fue como un asta
para la bandera que anduvo sobre él!

¡Caballito criollo que de puro heroico
se alejó una tarde de bajo su ombú,
y en alas de extraños afanes de gloria
se trepó a los Andes y se fue al Perú!

¡Se alzará algún día, caballito criollo,
sobre una eminencia un overo en pie;
y estará tallada su figura en bronce,
caballito criollo que pasó y se fue!
