1936, “Heimweh nach Köln”performed by Willi Ostermann:Wenn ich su aan ming Heimat denke
Un sinn der Dom su vür mir stonn,
Mööch ich direk op heim aan schwenke!
Ich mööch zo Foß noh Kölle jonn!- When I think about my homeland
And I see the cathedral standing in front of me,
I would like to turn homewards right away!
I would like to walk back to Cologne on foot!
