Merano Studio Cast of Chess (Ft. Murray Head)

[CITIZENS OF MERANO]
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 blessed is Merano
Merano! There are no fitter burghers to be found
(Such vigour!)
Take the time to taste us
We'll give you a welcome that's typically Tirol
For then we are sure of our ground
Right now we're Italian - we used to be German -
The border keeps shifting around

[MAYOR]
Speaking as one of the patriarchs
I don't 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
I'd have to be carried away to call a halt!
