Cologne Cathedral stays in Cologne
[Chorus:]
Cologne Cathedral stays in Cologne1, that's where it belongs
What use would it have elsewhere? That makes no sense at all
Cologne Cathedral stays in Cologne, for that's where it's at home
And in its usual place it will always stay in good shape
And in its usual place it will always stay in good shape
Imagine the Kremlin were located on Ebert Square
Imagine the Louvre were located at the Ring2
Both would have far too little space there
That would be something beyond comprehension
The Pentagon would be next to the Gürzenich3
The Acropolis would be next to the town hall
We wouldn't know where to go anymore
That's why one thing is for certain
[Chorus]
Ehrenstraße4 would be called "Sixth Avenue"
Nord-Süd-Fahrt5 would be called "Brenner Pass"
Mont Klamott6 would be called "Sugarloaf Mountain"
That would totally mess up the skyline!
So I'm asking you, who would profit?
What good is all this urban renewal?
I'd rather have everything remain as it is
And we keep our beautiful Cathedral
[Chorus]
- 1. Lit. "We leave Cologne Cathedral in Cologne".
- 2. A big road through the center of Cologne. Not to be confused with "Rhing" (the river Rhine).
There are several such roads (concentric semi-circles) called "Ringe", but "der Ring" means the most central one. - 3. The largest old festival hall in Cologne.
- 4. A road in the city center with lots of (clothing) shops.
- 5. An arterial road.
- 6. Cologne's largest hill, measuring a whopping 25 meters above ground. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herkulesberg

Comentariile autorului:
The song is a satirical dig at urban renewal gone bad, as was a current topic at the time it was written.
