[Verse 1]
River lights on the water glow
Warm night air and we don’t go home
Music playing down the street
Every stranger starts to feel like family
Laughter echoes everywhere
Hands up high without a care
In this city hearts unite
We don’t sleep on nights like this

Stay here
Don’t go
Feel the rhythm
Let it flow

[Chorus / Drop]
Cologne nights
Golden lights
We party hard till morning time
Cologne nights
Feel alive
City of love we come alive
Raise your glass, drink your Kölsch
Sing it loud, we all get close
Cologne nights
Side by side
We never want to say goodbye
[SAX main hook]

Different voices, one sound
When the beat is all around
