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

Im Garten am Seegestade
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Im Garten am Seegestade
Uralte Bäume stehn,
In ihren hohen Kronen
Sind kaum die Vögel zu sehn.

Die Bäume mit hohen Kronen,
Die rauschen Tag und Nacht,
Die Wellen schlagen zum Strande,
Die Vöglein singen sacht.

Das gibt ein Musizieren
So süß, so traurig bang,
Als wie verlorner Liebe
Und ewiger Sehnsucht Sang.

In the garden at the seashore
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
In the garden at the seashore
 Stand primeval trees;
 In their high tops
 Are the birds hardly to be seen.

 The trees with high tops
 Rustle day and night;
 The waves beat against the shore;
 The birds sing softly.

This makes a music
 So sweet, so sadly fearful,
 It is like a song of lost Love 
 And endless yearning.
