We Came as Strangers

We came as strangers to you Cologne,
You took us in your arms and made us feel your own.
The love we feel for you will never ever end,
We came as strangers, but now we’re friends.

We came as strangers to you Cologne,
You took us in your arms and made us feel your own.
The love we feel for you will never ever end,
We came as strangers, but now we’re friends.

We crossed the seven seas,
With our music and our songs,
Proud of our country and our name.
And then we found gher,
Lovely lady called Cologne,
Since then nothing’s been the same.
A great love for her beats always in our hearts –
Oh what sadnees whenever we must part.

We came as strangers to you Cologne,
You took us in your arms and made us feel your own.
The love we feel for you will never ever end,
We came as strangers, but now we’re friends.

Your daughters and you sons,
Your music and your songs
Have filled our Irish hearts with joy,
Cathedral standing tall,
The glory of it all
And your carnival makes an old man like a boy.

Hey Cologne it’s just like heaven
When we’re with you here
“Lovely river”, “Ming Stadt”, “Minsche wie mir”.
