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

Qui veut mesdire
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Qui veut mesdire, si mesdie
J'en fais la fige aux mesdisans
Car aynsque soit ici maysans
Je les feray crever d'envie.

Et feray toudis, chiere lye,
Qui conques en soit dyspleisans
  Qui veut mesdire, si mesdie
  J'en fais la fige aux mesdisans

Paciense aray en ma partie
Contre tous mes malveillians
Je n'en contre deux petis blans
A eux n'a toute leur lignie.

  Qui veut mesdire, si mesdie
  J'en fais la fige aux mesdisans
  Car aynsque soit ici maysans
  Je les feray crever d'envie.
