    • 1993, “Denn wenn et Trömmelche jeiht”‎[1]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!
      For when the drums are playing, we're all there and ready,
      And we march through the city,
      And everyone said: Cologne hurrah, hurrah! Cologne hurrah!

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The second and third persons singular of the present always have a vowel change: the alternative form treck exhibits a change /ɛ/ → /e/, which is just not reflected in spelling.
