Die Zigeuner
Music: Johanna Kinkel (1810–1858) · Words: Emanuel Geibel (1815–1884)
Im Schatten des Waldes, im Buchengezweig,
da regt sich's und raschelt's und flüstert's
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:33) 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
Im Schatten des Waldes, im Buchengezweig,
da regt sich's und raschelt's und flüstert's
zugleich, es flackern die Flammen,
es gaukelt der Schein um bunte Gestalten,
um Laub und Gestein. Das ist der Zigeuner
lebendige Schaar, mit blitzenden Augen und
nächtlichem Haar, gesäugt an des Niles
geheiligter Flut, gebräunt von Hispaniens
südlicher Glut.
Um's
lodernde Feuer, im schwellenden Grün,
da lagern die Männer verwildert und kühn,
da kauern die Weiber und rüsten das Mahl,
und füllen geschäftig den alten Pokal.
Und Sagen und Lieder erklingen im Rund,
wie Spaniens Gärten so blühend und bunt,
und magische Sprüche für Not und Gefahr,
verkündet die Alte der horchenden Schaar.
Schwarz -
äugige Mädchen beginnen den Tanz,
da sprühen die Fackeln im rötlichen Glanz,
heiss lockt die Guitarre, die Cymbel
erklingt, wie wilder und wilder der Reigen
sich schlingt. Dann ruhn sie ermüdet vom
nächtlichen Reih'n; es rauschen die Bäume in
Schlummer sie ein, und die aus der glücklichen
Heimat verbannt, sie schauen im Traume das
südliche Land.
