Ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin English translation
von Hildegard Knef

Beautiful it is in Paris on the Rue Madeleine
Lovely it is to walk through the streets of Rome in May
Or spend a summer night quietly with wine in Vienna
But you'll laugh, and yet, I still cling to Berlin today


I still have a suitcase in Berlin
That's why I must go there again soon
The joys of past times
Are all still in my little suitcase
I still have a suitcase in Berlin
It stays there and that makes sense
In this way, the journey is worthwhile
Because when I feel longing, I go back again

Luna Park and wave pool, little bear in the zoo
Wannsee beach with waterwheel, days bright and happy
Werder when the trees bloom, park of Sanssouci
Children, Berlin was beautiful, I'll never forget it


I still have a suitcase in Berlin
That's why I must go there again soon
The joys of past times
Are all still in my little suitcase
I still have a suitcase in Berlin
It stays there and that makes sense
In this way, the journey is worthwhile
Because when I feel longing, I go back again
