Ich hab’ ein glühend Messer
Music: Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) · Words: Gustav Mahler (1860–1911)
Ich hab' ein glühend Messer, ein Messer in
meiner Brust o weh! O weh! Das schneid't so
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:38) 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
Ich hab' ein glühend Messer, ein Messer in
meiner Brust o weh! O weh! Das schneid't so
tief
in jede Freud' und jede Lust, so tief!
So tief! Es schneid't so weh und tief!
Ach, was ist das für ein böser Gast!
Ach, was ist das für ein böser Gast!
Nimmer hält er Ruh', nimmer hält er Rast!
Tag, nicht bei Nacht, wenn ich schlief!
O weh! O weh!
O weh!
Wenn ich in den Himmel seh,
seh' ich zwei blaue Augen steh'n!
O weh!
O weh!
Wenn ich im gelben Felde geh',
seh' ich von Fern das blonde Haar
im Winde weh'n!
O weh! O weh!
Wenn ich aus dem Traum auffahr' und höre
klingen ihr silbern Lachen
o weh! O weh!
Ich wollt' ich läg' auf der schwarzen Bahr',
könnt' nimmer, nimmer die Augen aufmachen!
