Nachtlied
Music: Robert Franz (1815–1892) · Words: Ida Marie Luise Sophie Friederike Gustava Hahn-Hahn (1805–1880)
In der Nacht, in der Nacht da rauschen die
Bäume so traurig, da ächzen die Lüfte so
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:14) 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
In der Nacht, in der Nacht da rauschen die
Bäume so traurig, da ächzen die Lüfte so
schaurig, da schiessen die Stern' aus der
Höh', da flüstert das Schilf in dem See,
und Alles, so bänglich und still,
weiss nicht wo es her, noch hin will und die
Nacht, und die Nacht, hab' ich schlaflos
verwacht!
In der Nacht, in der Nacht entfaltet die
Sehnsucht die Schwingen, will Lieb' zum
Geliebtesten dringen, verschmelzen die
Seelen im Hauch, versinken im dämmernden
Aug', und Jedes, ob schweigend und still,
weiss doch, dass zum Andern es will,
in der Nacht, in der Nacht, hab' ich Deiner
gedacht.
In der Nacht, in der Nacht da sah mich der Mond
an so klagend, der Baum schüttelt's Haupt so
versagend, manch Tränlein den Sternen
ent- floss, ich war ja ihr Leidensgenoss!
Und Alles sprach: sei doch nur still,
wir gehen, wie Schicksal es will.
Und die Nacht, und die Nacht, hast du schlafend
verbracht!
