River lights on the water glow

Laughter echoes everywhere
Hands up high without a care
In this city hearts unite

Cologne nights
Golden lights
We party hard till morning time

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
