Die Lorelei
Music: Johanna Kinkel (1810–1858) · Words: Heinrich Heine (1797–1856)
Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten,
dass ich so traurig bin, ein Märchen aus alten
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:50) 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
Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten,
dass ich so traurig bin, ein Märchen aus alten
Zeiten das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
und ruhig fliesst der Rhein, der Gipfel des
Berges funkelt im Abendsonnenschein.
Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet dort oben
wunderbar; ihr goldnes Geschmeide blitzet,
sie kämmt
ihr goldnes Haar; sie kämmt
goldenem Kamme, und singt ein Lied dabei,
das hat eine wundersame, gewalt’ge
Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe ergreift mit
wildem Weh, er schaut nicht die Felsenriffe,
er schaut nur
Höh’. Ich
Ende verschlingen die Wellen SchifKahn,
und das hat mit ihrem Singen die Lorelei
getan.
