[00:43.52] And bless-ed is Merano
[00:45.44] Merano! There are no
[00:47.34] Fitter burghers to be found
[00:50.01] Such vigour!
[00:51.95] Take the time to taste us
[00:53.78] We'll give you a welcome that's typically Tirol
[00:56.53] For then we are sure of our ground
[00:57.46] Fight now we're Italian -- we used to be German
[00:59.35] The border keeps shifting around
[01:01.29] Speaking as one of the patriarchs
[01:03.02] I don't mind taking your lira or marks
[01:08.56] Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano
[01:11.37] Rosy-cheeked Merano
[01:14.15] Flourishing to a fault
[01:16.96] The sparkling streams, the bracing air
[01:18.70] The therapeutic salt
[01:20.67] I'd have to be carried away to call a halt!
[01:24.33] Oh I feel great in this bouncing state o hail to the Merano
[01:27.10] Hearty hale Merano
[01:29.97] Any objections? Nein!

[01:50.41] Merano! so far no
[01:52.26] Soul has ever passed us by
[01:55.98] They love us
[01:56.89] Why not stay forever?
[01:58.77] Oh so many reasons why
[02:01.40] All those in favour say "Aye"
[02:02.43] Aye!
[02:03.31] So sing a song
[02:05.11] Let's hear it for Merano
[02:06.18] Merano! Soprano

[02:10.75] We're wholesome
[02:12.66] What a happy haven
[02:14.55] This is a place where your arteries soften
[02:16.35] Cholesterol hasn't a chance
[02:18.19] From mountain to valley the natural goodness
[02:20.02] Is fighting pollution's advance
[02:22.82] So come to us and feel the force

[02:37.62] The sparkling streams, the bracing air
[02:40.44] The therapeutic salt
[02:42.38] I'd have to be carried away to call a halt
[02:46.17] Once in a while all the gods will smile on little old Merano
[02:48.85] Humble shy Merano
[02:52.59] Suddenly hits the press
[02:54.43] And I report with all the pride
[02:56.27] And joy that I possess
[02:58.06] Half of the world and his wife has our address
[03:01.75] Our little town will be rife with games of chess!
[03:08.23] Get up your get up and go and get in line
[03:30.65] It's living your life in a show...
[03:44.94] What a scene! What a joy!
[03:46.80] What a lovely sight
[03:49.56] When my game is the big sensation!
[03:56.07] Has the mob's sporting taste
[03:58.91] Altered overnight?
[04:01.78] Have they found new sophistication?
[04:07.25] Not yet! They just want to see
[04:10.91] If the nice guy beats the bum
[04:14.63] If it's East-West
[04:18.31] And the money's sky-high
[04:22.17] They all come
[04:29.69] You can raise all you want
[04:32.49] If you raise the roof
[04:34.29] Scream and shout and the gate increases
[04:38.82] Break the rules -- break the bank
[04:43.53] I'm the living proof
[04:46.39] They don't care how I move my pieces
[04:51.95] I know I'm the best there is
[04:56.24] But all they want is a show
[04:57.10] Well that's all right -- I'll be glad to oblige
[05:05.19] All right! I'll be glad to oblige
[05:06.02] All right! I'll be glad to oblige
[05:07.88] S.R.O. S.R.O.
[05:19.96] Oh I get high when I saunter by the mountains of Merano
[05:31.12] Rosy-cheeked Merano
[05:33.91] Flourishing to a fault
[05:35.82] The sparkling streams, the bracing air
[05:37.79] The therapeutic salt
[05:39.57] I'd have to be carried away to call a halt
[05:43.35] Oh I feel great in this bouncing state o hail to the Merano
[05:47.04] Hearty hale Merano
[05:49.71] Any objections? Nein!
