Wenn du wärst mein eigen
Music: Josephine Lang (1815–1880) · Words: Ida Marie Luise Sophie Friederike Gustava Hahn-Hahn (1805–1880)
Ach wenn du wärst mein eigen, wie lieb sollst
du mir sein! wie wollt' ich tief im Herzen nur
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:59) 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
Ach wenn du wärst mein eigen, wie lieb sollst
du mir sein! wie wollt' ich tief im Herzen nur
hegen dich allein! und alle Wonn' und alles
Glück mir schöpfen nur aus deinem Blick,
und alle Wonn' und alles Glück,
mir schöpfen dann aus deinem Blick!
Ach wenn du wärst mein eigen, wie wär' die Welt
dann schön! es bliebe Nichts zu wünschen als
stets dich an zu sehen mein höchster Lohn mein
höchstes Glück erglänzte mir aus deinem
Blick! mein höchster Lohn mein höchstes Glück!
es glänzte mir aus deinem Blick!
Ach wenn du wärst mein eigen, bis einst mein
Auge bricht! so würd' ich droben sagen:
ich lass dich ewig nicht: in Himmel selbst
ohn' dich kein Glück das ist mein Trost,
mein Hoffnungsblick, im Himmel selbst ohn'
dich kein Glück mein Trost ist das,
mein HoffnungsBlick!
