One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:03) 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

Warum sind denn die Rosen so blass?

o sprich mein Lieb warum?

warum sind denn im grünen Gras die blauen

Veilchen so stumm? Warum singt denn mit so

kläglichem Laut, die Lerche in der Luft warum

steigt denn aus dem Balsam kraut ver welkter

Blüthen Duft?

Warum scheint denn die Sonn' auf die Au,

so kalt und verdriesslich herab?

warum ist denn die Erde so grau,

und öde wie ein Grab, warum bin ich selbst so

krank und so trüb? mein liebes Liebchen

sprich? o sprich mein herzallerliebstes

Lieb, warum verliessest du mich?

Warum, warum verliessesst du mich?
