Yes:

What is it that is so famous/what's so famous about it?

[obtuse sluice]

I happen to know that song and the translation – I assume it's automatic – is actually wrong. The original line in Middle High German is: « daz hêre lant und ouch die erde, der man vil der êren gihet (the noble land, and also that earth to which so much honour is given) ». In that case, the better translation would be « La Terre Sainte et aussi la Terre, à laquelle l'on rend tant d'honneur ».

It has some other translations and I did find one: « Ce pays, la Terre si pure et si sainte, qui est tant admiré par les Hommes. (This land, this so pure and holy Land, which is so admired by men.) »

Given that is the text in Middle High German, which I can understand, I fully agree.
