One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:57) 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
Entre deux rocs d'un noir d'ébène Voyezvous
ce sombre hal- lier Qui se hérisse dans la
plaine, Ainsi qu’une touffe de laine Entre
les cornes du bélier?
Là,
dans une ombre non frayée, Grondent le tigre
ensanglanté, La lionne, mère effrayée,
Le chacal, l'hyène ray- ée, Et le léopard
tacheté.
Là, des monstres de toute forme rampent:
le basilic rê- vant, L’hippopotame au
ventre énorme,
Et le boa, vaste et difforme, Qui semble un
tronc d’arbre vivant.
L’orfraie aux paupières vermeilles,
Le serpent, le singe méchant, Sifflent comme
un essaim d’abeilles; L’éléphant aux larges
oreilles Casse les bambous en marchant.
Là, vit la sauvage fa- mille Qui glapit,
bourdonne et mugit.
Le bois entier hurle et fourmille.
Sous chaque buisson un oeil brille,
Dans chaque antre une voix rugit.
Eh bien?
seul et nu sur la mousse,
Dans ce boislà
je serais mieux
Que devant Nourmahal la Rousse,
Qui parle avec une voix douce Et regarde
avec de doux yeux.
