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

Regentropfen aus den Bäumen

Regentropfen aus den Bäumen
Fallen in das grüne Gras,
Tränen meiner trüben Augen
Machen mir die Wange naß.

[Wenn die Sonne wieder scheinet,]1
Wird der Rasen doppelt grün:
Doppelt wird auf meinen Wangen
Mir die heiße Träne glühn.

Raindrops from the Trees
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
Raindrops from the trees
Fall in the green grass,
Tears from my gloomy eyes
Make my cheeks wet.

When the sun again shines,
The grass will be twice as green:
And on my cheeks, twice as much 
will my hot tears glow.
