Leb’ wohl, leb’ wohl du schöne Welt
Music: Josephine Lang (1815–1880) · Words: Albert Zeller (1804–1877)
Leb' wohl, leb' wohl du schöne Welt!
Mein Herz ist müd' und schwer; Lebt Alle wohl,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:02) 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
Leb' wohl, leb' wohl du schöne Welt!
Mein Herz ist müd' und schwer; Lebt Alle wohl,
auf Wiederseh'n, fahrt wohl, ich kann nicht
mehr! Du heilig Land das mich geliebt und
tausendfach erfreut,
mir einen Gott und Himmel gab und süses Weh
und Leid,
und süsses Weh und Leid, und manche sel'ge
Menschenbrust an meine Brust gelegt in
leichtem Spiel, in hohem Ernst mich namenlos
bewegt mich namenlos bewegt mich namenlos
bewegt!
Den
Hut der Freiheit auf das Haupt, den Stab mir in
die Hand, zu herrschen und zu walten gab froh
über Meer und Land! Leb' wohl, leb' wohl du
heil'ge Welt, die mir den Heiland gab und
Sühne in mein reuig Herz, Unsterblichkeit
in's Grab!
Unsterblichkeit in's Grab! Er ging im Tode
mir voran, Er reich' mir seine Hand!
Die Kluft ist tief, mein Gang ist Nacht hinüber
in sein Land! hinüber in sein Land hinüber
in sein Land!
