O light the heart
That lingers in Merano
Merano! The spa no
Connoisseur of spas would miss
So healthy
Highly recommended
Is this sweet metropolis
Mental and physical bliss!
The gods have smiled
And bless-ed is Merano
Merano! There are no
Fitter burghers to be found
Such vigour!
Take the time to taste us
Well give you a welcome thats typically Tirol
For then we are sure of our ground
Right now were Italian – we used to be German
The border keeps shifting around
MAYOR solo
Speaking as one of the patriarchs
I dont mind taking your lira or marks
CITIZENS
Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano
Rosy-cheeked Merano
Flourishing to a fault
The sparkling streams, the bracing air
The therapeutic salt
Id have to be carried away to call a halt!
Oh I feel great in this bouncing state
O hail to thee Merano
Hearty hale Merano
Any objections? Nein!
Where breathing in will turn you on
Where water tastes like wine
Get out your get up and go and get in line
Its living your life in a show by Rodgers and Hammerstein!
O sad the soul
Who passes by Merano
Merano! So far no
Soul has ever passed us by
They love us
Why not stay forever?
Oh so many reason why
All those in favour say Aye
Aye!
So sing our song
Lets hear it for Merano
Merano! Soprano
Alto, tenor, bass agree
Were wholesome
What a happy haven
This is a place where your arteries soften
Cholesterol hasnt a chance
From mountain to valley the natural goodness
Is fighting pollutions advance
MAYOR solo
So come to us and feel the force
All major credit cards taken of course
CITIZENS
Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano
Rosy-cheeked Merano
Flourishing to a fault
The sparkling streams, the bracing air
The therapeutic salt
Id have to be carried away to call a halt!
Once in a while all the gods will smile on little old Merano
Humble shy Merano
Suddenly hits the press
And I report with all the pride
And joy that I possess
Half of the world and his wife
Has our address
Our little town will be rife
With games of chess!
