Heimweh noh Kölle [English translation]

I was born in Cologne near the Rhine,

I have, and that is on my mind,

Not yet lost my mother tongue,

That is something I am proud of.

(refrain)

When I'm thinking of my homeland

And I see the Cathedral standing in front of me

||:I would immediatly like to be homward bound,

I would like to walk by foot to Cologne. :||

I have sung so many times about the Rhine,

About our beautiful, german river,

So german like my songs sounded here,

So german stays Cologne with it's Cathedral.

(refrain)

And if one day the Lord should call me,

I'll tell Saint Peter:

"I can tell you remorseful

That I yearn for Cologne."

(refrain)

And when one day, I look down on my

Hometown from the heavens above,

I want to whisper up there

How much I love you, my Cologne.
