| O you Berlin you colorful stone you beast | B |
| You cast me with street lamps like briars | C |
| Ah when one flows in the night through your lamps | C |
| After women silky plump | D |
| A man gets dizzy from the eye play | E |
| The little moon candy sweetens the sky | F |
| When the days struck the steeples | C |
| The head still glows a red Chinese lantern | G |

| Soon I must leave you my Berlin | H |
| Must again travel into the desolate cities | C |
| Soon I shall sit on the distant hill tops | C |
| In dense woods carve your name | I |
| Farewell Berlin with your bold fires | C |
| Farewell your streets full of adventures | C |
| Who has known as much as I have of your pain | J |
| Saloons you I press you to my breast | K |

| In meadows and in pure winds peacefully | L |
| Cheerful people may glide along gleefully | L |
| We however rotten and poisoned long ago | M |
| Would deceive ourselves with this stepping into heaven | N |
| In strange cities I move about without direction | N |
| The strange days are hollow and like chalk | O |
| You my Berlin you opium rush you bastard | P |
| Only he who knows longing knows what I suffer | Q |
