Viva Colonia (Da simmer dabei, dat is prima!) English translation
von Höhner

Born with a cardboard nose, the cathedral and the bag
We have sworn to each other: We will go our own way
Everything we can get, we'll take with us
Because every moment only comes once

We go to F.C. Köln and we go to KEC
We like drinking a Kölsch and travelling on the KVB
Henkelmännchen, Millowitsch, there's always something going on here
We like to party, no matter how big or small, whatever it costs

We're there, that's great, viva Colonia
We love life, love and lust
We believe in God and are always thirsty (hey)

We have the Kölsch Klüngel and ‘arse huh’, that's what they say here
Alaaf on Rose Monday and Aloha CSD
We are multicultural, we are multicultural
We are current in every respect, including sexually


We're there, that's great, viva Colonia
We love life, love and lust
We believe in God and are always thirsty
We're in, that's great, viva Colonia
We love life, love and lust
We believe in God and are always thirsty

We live today, not mumbling, time flies so fast
L-M-A-A, you worries, we live in the moment

And it's right now
Here we are, that's great, viva Colonia
We love life, love and lust
We believe in the good Lord and are always thirsty

Here we are, that's great, viva Colonia
We love life, love and lust
We believe in God and are always thirsty
Here we are
