“The Heart of St Pauli: A Poetic Ode to the Hamburg Port and Home”

The heart of St Pauli

That’s my home.

In Hamburg, that’s where I’m at home.

The port, the lights

Accompany the longing

The ship in the distance.

The heart of St Pauli

That calls you back.

In the village on the Elbe

Your happiness is waiting there.

The heart of St Pauli

That’s my home.

In Hamburg, that’s where I’m at home.

The Elbe, the girls, the course is always good,

Sankt Pauli, freedom,

It’s in our blood.

And if the ship of life has a leak,

In Hamburg, we stay on deck,

In Hamburg, yes, we’ll stay on deck there.
