E sete la piú bella mentovata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
E sete la piú bella mentovata: Piú che non è di maggio rosa o fiore, Piú che non è d'Orvieto la facciata, E di Viterbo la fonte maggiore. Di grazia e di beltà sei tanto piena: Lo porti il vanto del duomo di Siena. Di grazia e di beltà sei piena tanto: E del duomo di Siena porti il vanto.

Ihr seid die Allerschönste weit und breit, Viel schöner als im Mai der Blumenflor. Orvieto's Dom steigt so voll Herrlichkeit, Viterbo's größter Brunnen nicht empor. So hoher Reiz und Zauber ist dein eigen, Der Dom von Siena muß sich vor dir neigen. Ach, du bist so an Reiz und Anmuth reich, Der Dom von Siena selbst ist dir nicht gleich.
