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

Beim Abschied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich müh' mich ab und kann's nicht verschmerzen
Und kann's nicht verwinden in meinem Herzen,
Daß ich den und jenen soll sehen,
Im Kreis um mich herum sich drehen,
Der mich nicht machte froh noch trübe,
Ob er nun ging' oder bliebe,
Und nur die Eine soll von mir wandern,
Für die ich ertragen all die andern.

At parting
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I struggle yet cannot get over -
and cannot overcome it in my heart -
that I should see this and that person
wandering about in my circle:
They make me neither happy nor sad,
whether they go or stay,
and yet just that very woman is going away,
for whose sake I tolerated all the others.
