One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:34) 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

Leis’ rudern hier, mein Gondolier,

leis’ leis’!

Die Flut vom Ruder sprüh’n so leise lass,

dass sie uns nur vernimmt, zu der wir zieh’n.

O könnte wie er schauen kann, der Himmel

reden, traun, er spräche vieles wohl von dem,

was Nachts die Sterne schau’n.

Leis’,

leis’,

leis’,

leis’!

Nun rasten hier, mein Gondolier,

sacht, sacht!

In’s Boot die Ruder,

sacht,

sacht, auf zum Balkone schwing’ ich mich,

doch du hältst unten Wacht; o wollten halb so

eifrig nur dem Himmel wir uns weih’n,

als schöner Weiber Diensten, traun,

wir könnten Engel sein!

Sacht,

sacht,

sacht,

sacht!
