    Are all singing a song, the lyrics of which I don't understand. However, the music is 'The Bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond'!
    First time I've ever heard that particular tune at a football match before.:D

    The tune of ‘Mer stonn zo Dir FC Kölle' (We stand by you, FC Köln) is a direct lift of the Scottish folk song 'The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond' and the song itself, by Cologne’s carnival pop band Höhner, is 17 years old.



    So you can sing along (it's slightly more comprehensible than Scottish) :-

    Ehrenfeld, Raderthal, Nippes, Poll, Esch, Pesch un Kalk

    Üvverall jitt et Fans vom FC Kölle

    En Rio, en Rom, Jläbbisch, Prüm un Habbelrath

    Üvverall jitt et Fans vum FC Kölle.


    Freud oder Leid, Zokunf un Verjangenhejt

    E Jeföhl dat verbingk - FC Kölle

    Ov vür ov zoröck - neues Spell heiß neues Jlöck

    E Jeföhl dat verbingk - FC Kölle


    Mer schwöre dir he op Treu un op Iehr:

    Mer stonn zo dir FC Kölle

    Un mer jon met dir wenn et sin muß durch et Füer

    Halde immer nur zo dir FC Kölle!



    Ov jung oder alt - ov ärm oder rich

    Zesamme simmer stark FC Kölle

    Durch dick un durch dünn - janz ejal wohin

    Nur zesamme simmer stark FC Kölle


    Mer schwöre dir he op Treu un op Iehr:

    Mer stonn zo dir FC Kölle

    Un mer jon met dir wenn et sin muß durch et Füer

    Halde immer nur zo dir FC Kölle!


    Mer schwöre dir he op Treu un op Iehr:

    Mer stonn zo dir FC Kölle

    Un mer jon met dir wenn et sin muß durch et Füer

    Halde immer nur zo dir FC Kölle!


    Mer schwöre dir he op Treu un op Iehr:

    Mer stonn zo dir FC Kölle

    Un mer jon met dir wenn et sin muß durch et Füer

    Halde immer nur zo dir FC Kölle!
