Bald gras’ ich am Neckar, bald gras’ ich am
Rhein, bald hab’ ich ein Schätzel,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:46) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Bald gras’ ich am Neckar, bald gras’ ich am
Rhein, bald hab’ ich ein Schätzel,
bald bin ich allein! Was hilft mir das Grasen,
wenn d’Sichel nicht schneid’t, was hilft mir
ein Schätzel, wenn’s bei mir nicht bleibt!
So soll ich denn grasen am Neckar,
am Rhein; so werf’ ich mein goldenes Ringlein
hinein!
Es fliesset im Neckar und fliesset im Rhein,
soll schwimmen hinunter ins Meer tief hinein!
Und schwimmt es, das Ringlein, so frisst es ein
Fisch! Das Fischlein soll kommen auf’s Königs
sein Tisch! Der König tät fragen,
wem’s Ringlein sollt’ sein?
Da tät mein Schatz sagen: „Das Ringlein g’hört
mein!“
Mein Schätzlein tät springen bergauf und
bergein, tät mir wied’rum bringen das
Goldringlein fein!
Kannst grasen am Neckar, kannst grasen am
Rhein! Wirf du mir nur immer dein Ringlein
hinein!
