'Ode to New York City'
by Thaddeus Hutyra
New York City, my New York City, enshrined in beauty
How you shine! You are truly the emblem of America!
The first look at you and your breathtaking skyline
And I am yours as you are mine, born to be lovers!
Manhattan with its Freedom tower, how splendid!
Like the Pegasus and phoenix, truly immortal!
I am so mesmerized I hear various glorious bells
Ringing deep within me with overwhelming tones.
Refrain:
Hear the bells, my New York City, hear the bells with me
Ah, how they ring! To all the spheres of your skyline!
And far beyond! The bells of America and the world!
Listen good, hear the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia
Hear the Great Paul and the Big Ben of London
The Tsar Bell! Saint Peter's Bell! The Olympic Bell!
Sigismund! The Mingun Bell! The World Peace Bell!
Ah, how they ring! How they sing! As carillons by now!
Bravely joined by bells from all corners of the world!
They, the carillons, uniting us all in love and peace!
How they ring! How they sing! To you, my New York City!
One look at the Statue of Liberty, one walk in Central Park
Beauty of the Hudson River and the Brooklyn Bridge
Times Square with its Broadway theaters and cafes
Ah, I am instantly in love with you, one that shall last.
Loving to be lost on your avenues and boulevards
Happy to visit Greenwich Village, discover Queens
Manhattan Chinatown, Little Italy, Spanish Harlem
Little India, Brooklyn’s Little Russia, wow, the world!
Refrain:
Hear the bells, my New York City, hear the bells with me
Ah, how they ring! To all the spheres of your skyline!
And far beyond! The bells of America and the world!
Listen good, hear the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia
Hear the Great Paul and the Big Ben of London
The Tsar Bell! Saint Peter's Bell! The Olympic Bell!
Sigismund! The Mingun Bell! The World Peace Bell!
Ah, how they ring! How they sing! As carillons by now!
Bravely joined by bells from all corners of the world!
They, the carillons, uniting us all in love and peace!
How they ring! How they sing! To you, my New York City!
