Brünnhild', die hehrste Frau, Gunther's aria from Die Götterdämmerung

Brünnhild', die hehrste Frau,
bring' ich euch her zum Rhein.
Ein edleres Weib
ward nie gewonnen.
Der Gibichungen Geschlecht,
gaben die Götter ihm Gunst;
zum höchsten Ruhm rag' es nun auf!

Gegrüßt sei, teurer Held;
gegrüßt, holde Schwester!
Dich seh ich froh ihm zur Seite,
der dich zum Weib gewann.
Zwei sel'ge Paare
seh ich hier prangen:

Brünnhild' und Gunther,
Gutrun' und Siegfried!
