<div style="text-align:center">
It was a summer evening,<br />
Just twenty I had seen,<br />
When I kissed ruby lips and<br />
Hair of golden sheen.<br />
The night was blue and blissful,<br />
The Neckar flowed pristine,<br />
It was then I knew, it was then I knew,<br />
What all to me did mean..

I lost my heart in Heidelberg for all time,<br />
On a balmy summer night.<br />
In love head over heels, oh were she all mine,<br />
And like a rose, her laughing mouth my light.<br />
As by the gates she said: "Good-bye my lover,"<br />
That last sweet kiss, it did confirm once more,<br />
I'd lost my heart in Heidelberg forever.<br />
My heart still beats on Neckar's shore.

And once again the vines bloom,<br />
As then, on Neckar's shore,<br />
The years have passed so slowly,<br />
And I'm alone once more.<br />
And if you ask this fellow,<br />
Why he took none to wed,<br />
Then I will tell, then I will tell,<br />
My Friends, what to this led:<br />
I lost my heart . . . .

Whatever happened to you,<br />
Since you and I did part,<br />
Oh Heidelberg of legend,<br />
Oh city of my heart?<br />
I went away and left you,<br />
Left luck and happy days.<br />
I long to be, I long to be,<br />
Back in your arms always<br />
I lost my heart . . . .<br />
