Liebesbotschaft
Music: Franz Schubert (1797–1828) · Words: Ludwig Rellstab (1799–1860)
Rauschendes Bächlein, so silbern und hell,
eilst zur Geliebten so munter und schnell?
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:31) 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
Rauschendes Bächlein, so silbern und hell,
eilst zur Geliebten so munter und schnell?
Ach! trautes Bächlein, mein Bote sei du;
bringe die Grüsse des Fernen ihr zu.
All’ ihre Blumen im Garten gepflegt,
die sie so lieblich am Busen trägt,
und ihre Rosen in purpurner Glut,
Bächlein, erquicke mit kühlender Flut,
und ihre Rosen in purpurner Glut,
Bächlein, erquicke mit kühlender Flut.
Wenn sie am Ufer, in Träume versenkt,
meiner gedenkend, das Köpfchen hängt:
tröste die Süsse mit freundlichem Blick,
denn der Geliebte kehrt bald zurück,
tröste die Süsse mit freundlichem Blick,
denn der Geliebte kehrt bald zurück.
Neigt sich die Sonne mit rötlichem Schein,
wiege das Liebchen in Schlummer ein;
rausche sie murmelnd in süsse Ruh,
flüst’re ihr Träume der Liebe zu,
flüst’re ihr Träume der Liebe zu.
