Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins English translation
von Freddy Quinn

On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Whether you have a girl or not
You'll have a good time
Because it finds itself
On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Who has never on a cozy night
Taken a stroll down the Reeperbahn
Is a poor soul
Because they don’t know you
My St. Pauli, St. Pauli by night

Silver chimes and pay echoes
Today I play the fine game
Today nothing is too expensive for me
Tomorrow the journey begins
Slowly I stroll all alone
Up the Reeperbahn towards freedom
If I meet a fair blonde, quite fine
I’ll pick her up


Come on, dear little one, be mine, don’t say no
You shall be my sweetheart until nine in the morning
If it's okay with you, then I'll even stay faithful until ten
Link arms with me, let's go for a stroll together

On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Whether you have a girl or not
You'll have a good time
Because it finds itself
On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Who has never on a cozy night
Taken a stroll down the Reeperbahn
Is a poor soul
Because they don’t know you
My St. Pauli, St. Pauli by night

When I come home next year
Tanned like a Hottentot
If you’ve dyed your blonde hair
Black or maybe red
If a strange young man greets you
And you pass by without recognizing him
Perhaps the memory will return
When he softly speaks to you


Come on, dear little one, be mine, don’t say no
You shall be my sweetheart until nine in the morning
If it's okay with you, then I'll even stay faithful until ten
Link arms with me, let's go for a stroll together

On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Whether you have a girl or not
You'll have a good time
Because it finds itself
On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight
Who has never on a cozy night
Taken a stroll down the Reeperbahn
Is a poor soul
Because they don’t know you
My St. Pauli, St. Pauli by night
