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.

You are the fairest far and wide
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
You are the fairest far and wide,
Much fairer than flowers in May.
Orvieto's cathedral does not rise so glorious,
Nor Viterbo's grandest fountain.
Such lofty charm and magic are your own,
Siena cathedral must bow before you.
Oh, you are so rich in charm and grace,
Even Siena cathedral is not your peer.
