Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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!
[Verse 2]
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
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
Speaking as one of the patriarchs
I don't mind taking your Lira or Marks
[Bridge]
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!
[Bridge]
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
It's living your life in a show by Rodgers and Hammerstein!
[Verse 3]
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 reasons why
All those in favour, say "Aye"
Aye!
[Bridge]
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!
[Outro]
Get out your get up and go and get in line
It's living your life in a show by Rodgers and Hammerstein!
Written by: Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Tim Rice
