It was once an evening,
Just twenty I have been,
When I kissed red lips and
gold blond hair.
The night was blue and blissful,
The Neckar floated silver lucently,
It was then I knew, it was then I knew,
What all did mean to me..
I lost my heart in Heidelberg forever,
On a balmy summer night.
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine,
And like a rose, her mouth has laughed.
As by the gates we said good-bye
By that last sweet kiss, it has been obvious
Just twenty I have been,
When I kissed red lips and
gold blond hair.
The night was blue and blissful,
The Neckar floated silver lucently,
It was then I knew, it was then I knew,
What all did mean to me..
I lost my heart in Heidelberg forever,
On a balmy summer night.
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine,
And like a rose, her mouth has laughed.
As by the gates we said good-bye
By that last sweet kiss, it has been obvious
to me,
I'd lost my heart in Heidelberg forever.
My heart still beats on Neckar's shore.
And once again the vines bloom,
As then, on Neckar's shore,
The years have passed so slowly,
And I'm alone once more.
And if you ask this fellow,
Why he took none to wed,
Then I will tell, then I will tell,
My Friends, what to this led:
I lost my heart in Heidelberg forever,
On a balmy summer night.
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine,
I'd lost my heart in Heidelberg forever.
My heart still beats on Neckar's shore.

Whatever happened to you,
Since you and I did part,
Oh Heidelberg of legend,
Oh city of my heart?
I went away and left you,
Left luck and happy days.
I long to be, I long to be,
Back in your arms always
As by the gates we said good-bye
By that last sweet kiss, it has been obvious to me,
I'd lost my heart in Heidelberg forever.
My heart still beats on Neckar's shore.
