Heimliche Aufforderung
Music: Richard Strauss (1864–1949) · Words: John Henry Mackay (1864–1933)
Auf, hebe die funkelnde Schale empor zum
Mund, und trinke beim Freudenmahle dein Herz
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:25) 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
Auf, hebe die funkelnde Schale empor zum
Mund, und trinke beim Freudenmahle dein Herz
gesund. Und wenn du sie hebst, so winke mir
heimlich zu,
dann lächle ich und dann trinke ich still wie
du . . .
und still gleich mir betrachte um uns das Heer
der trunknen Schwätzer
verachte sie nicht zu sehr. Nein,
hebe die blinkende Schale, gefüllt mit
Wein, und lass beim lärmenden Mahle sie
glücklich sein.
Doch hast du das Mahl genossen,
den Durst gestillt, dann verlasse der lauten
Genossen festfreudiges Bild
und wandle hinaus in den Garten
zum Rosenstrauch, dort will ich dich dann
erwarten
nach altem Brauch, und will an die Brust dir
sinken,
eh' du's gehofft, und deine Küsse trinken,
wie ehmals oft
und flechten in deine Haare der Rose Pracht,
o komm, du wunderbare ersehnte Nacht,
o komm, du wunderbare
ersehnte Nacht!
