about

It is probably necessary to give context for this song:

The upcoming Cineastre self-titled release is supposed to be a conceptual album, with a romanticist theme. During the romantic period poets and writers were trying to visualize and put to words their longing for a more magical, mystic and less rationalized world. On the album I wrote two songs each, for typically romantic subjects:

Natur (nature)
Mystik (mysticism)
Jahreszeiten (seasons)
and Heimat (native land/home) - "Fallersleben", named after the "Heimat" of the poet August Heinrich Hoffmann, is a song based on a poem of his, which definitly *does not* hold any hatefulness towards some type of group, ethnicity or another country, which is home to someone else - and so does Cineastre.

lyrics

Text entnommen aus: August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben "Unpolitische Lieder." Bd. 1. Hamburg, 1840.

Treue Liebe bis zum Grabe
Schwor' ich dir mit Herz und Hand:
Was ich bin und was ich habe,
Dank' ich dir, mein Vaterland.

Nicht in Worten nur und Liedern
Iſt mein Herz zum Dank bereit;
Mit der That will ich's erwiedern.
Dir in Noth, in Kampf und Streit.

In der Freude wie im Leide
Ruf ich's Freund und Feinden zu:
Ewig ſind vereint wir beide,
Und mein Troſt, mein Glück biſt du.

Treue Liebe bis zum Grabe
Schwor' ich dir mit Herz und Hand:
Was ich bin und was ich habe,
Dank' ich dir, mein Vaterland.

Treue Liebe bis zum Grabe
Schwör' ich dir mit Herz und Hand:
Was ich bin und was ich habe,
Dank' ich dir, mein Vaterland.
