Neues (Anonymous, set by G. Telemann) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Etwas neues vorzutragen,
so nicht nach dem alten schmeckt,
will schon manchen niederschlagen,
daß er nicht was junges heckt.

Doch, was soll die Sclaverei,
die so enge Grenzen setzet?
ob es alt ist, oder neu,
genug, wenn es nützet und ergetzet.
