Du ... [bess die Stadt] [English translation]

You are the city we all do dig

You already made us love you as children

You have a lovely smile in your face

You are the woman who cries her eyes out.

Grey your hair and so colourful the dress

You have trouble at home, but red fingernails

With a dazzling make-up and the bottoms a bit broad

Fortunately all this suits you well.

2. refrain

You are the city we all do dig

You already made us love you as children

You have a lovely smile in your face

You are the woman who cries her eyes out.

As bold as brass, but the heart is good,

A little bit crazy, not worrying about anything,

Good-humored, but it almost gets on one's nerves,

All this we have inherited from you.

3. refrain

You are the city we all do dig

You already made us love you as children

You have a lovely smile in your face

You are the woman who cries her eyes out.

refrain: SOLO

4. refrain

You are the city at the Rhine, the grey river,

You are in love with your stately cathedral,

You are a virgin and an old woman,

You are our mom and you stay beautiful forever

You are the city at the Rhine, the grey river,

You are in love with your stately cathedral,

You are a virgin and an old woman,

You are our mom and you stay beautiful forever

You are our city and you simply are beautiful.
