     Dann wie alles fäädig wor,
     Trok dat Volk dann vür et Tor,
     Un die Stadt, die nannten sie Colonia.

   • 1993, “Denn wenn et Trömmelche jeiht”‎^[2]performed by Räuber:

     Denn wenn et Trömmelche jeiht, dann stonn mer all parat,
     Un mer trecke durch de Stadt,
     Un jeder hät jesat: Kölle alaaf, alaaf! Kölle alaaf!
