Das Heimweh
Music: Fanny Mendelssohn (1805–1847) · Words: Friederike Robert (1795–1832)
Was ist's, das mir den Anthem hemmet und
selbst den Seufzer unterdrückt?
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:36) 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
Was ist's, das mir den Anthem hemmet und
selbst den Seufzer unterdrückt?
das stets in jeden Weg sich stemmet und Sinn
und Geist mir so verrückt, und Sinn und Geist
mir so verrückt?
Es ist das Heimweh! O Schmerzenslaut,
o Schmerzenslaut! wie klingst im Innern mir
vertraut, wie klingst im Innern mir vertraut!
Was ist's, das mir den Willen raubet,
zu jeder Tat mich mutlos macht?
das mir die Flur, so grün belaubet,
verwandelt in Gefängnissnacht,
verwandelt in Gefängnissnacht?
Es ist das Heimweh! O Jammerton,
o Jammerton! wie lange tönst im Herzen
schon, wie lange tönst im Herzen schon!
Was ist's, das mich erstarrt und brennet und
jede Freud' und Lust vergällt? giebt es kein
Wort, des dieses nennet, giebt es kein Wort in
dieser Welt, giebt es kein Wort in dieser
Welt?
Es ist das Heimweh! O herbes Weh,
o herbes Weh! Die Heimat, ach! ich nimmer
seh', die Heimat, ach! ich nimmer seh'!
