Programs should include English translations of all foreign-language vocal texts. Don't forget to identify both the translator and the author of the original text!  In most cases, published translations -- including those found on the internet -- are protected by copyright, so permission should be sought before including them in your program.

Ideally, singers should prepare their own English translations, if their foreign language skills are up to the task.  While it's tempting to copy translations from books or websites, doing so without crediting the actual translator is PLAGIARISM.

If you need them, the Music Library has many books with original and translated texts of art songs, opera, and sacred music.  Most are shelved in the reference section.  Here's a small sample:
