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

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Am Wildbach die Weiden, 
Die schwanken Tag und Nacht. 
Die Liebe von uns beiden
Hat Gott so fest gemacht. 

Am Wildbach die Weiden, 
Die haben nicht Wort und Ton. 
Wenn sich die Augen besprechen, 
So wissen die Herzen davon.

The willows on the Wildbach
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
The willows on the Wildbach
Sway constantly both night and day.
The love between us two
Was made just as firm by God. 

The willows on the Wildbach
Do not have words or sounds.
When our eyes speak to each other,
Our hearts will also know of it.
