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

Sie
 Es rauschet das Wasser
 Und bleibet nicht stehn;
 Gar lustig die Sterne
 Am Himmel hin gehn;
 Gar lustig die Wolken
 Am Himmel hin ziehn;
 So rauschet die Liebe
 Und fähret dahin.

Er
 Es rauschen die Wasser, 
 Die Wolken [vergeh'n]1;
 Doch bleiben die Sterne, 
 Sie wandeln und [steh'n]2.
 So auch mit der Liebe, 
 [Der treuen, geschicht]3,
 Sie wegt sich, sie regt sich,
 Und ändert sich nicht.

The water rushes
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
She
 The water rushes 
 And will not stay still;
 The stars pass merrily 
 In the sky,
 The clouds advance 
 Merrily in the sky,
 And so Love rushes 
 And wanders there.

He
 The waters are rushing, 
 The clouds dissolving;
 Yet the stars remain: 
 They wander and [hover]1.
 And so it happens as well with Love, 
 The true [kind]:
 It sways, it stirs,
 And does not change.
