Genre: Deutscher Schlager / German Retro Hit (Cover song)
Nachdem der Sommer dieses Jahr auf sich warten lässt und die weiteren Aussichten eher nass und kalt sind, habe ich mich kurzerhand entschlossen diesen Klassiker von 1975 zu spielen. Der Showmaster Rudi Carell hat ihn damals in seiner Interpretation zum Evergreen werden lassen. Es handelt sich um eine deutsche Version des englischen Originals "City Of New Orleans". Ich habe ein wenig versucht, den niederländischen Akzent mit einzufangen, damit das Lied authentischer klingt und an die Version von Rudi Carell erinnert.
Since summer is a long time coming this year and the weather forecast looks rather wet and cold, I quickly decided to play this classic from 1975. The showmaster Rudi Carell's interpretation made it an evergreen. It is a German version of the English original "City Of New Orleans". I tried a little to capture the Dutch accent to make the song sound more authentic and reminiscent of Rudi Carell's version.
In this upload I sing the song and play the PSR2000 keyboard. As an exception to my other records, this one is a live recording. All pictures are also taken by me. All video sequences, except my own clip, are from Pexels or Pixabay - thanks so much!

English Translation of the German lyrics:
English title: When will it really be summer again?
We didn't need a long trip before, we got a tan on [the islands of] Borkum and Sylt
But today the brown ones are only white, because here they only get "frozen"
Yes - there used to be a "heat free" [no school because of too much heat] and the outdoor pool was already open in May, I sat outside our house until the night
We still had sunburn and giant jellyfish on the beach and ice cream
and each policeman took off his jacket
Refrain:
When will it really be summer again - a summer like it used to be?
Yes - with sunshine from June to September and not as wet and as Siberian as last year
And whatever heat waves we had there, sweater manufacturers went out of business
It was up to 40 degrees in the shade and we had to be careful with the water
The sun was hitting your face, so you didn't need the sauna
Back then, a sheep was happy when you sheared it
It was like in Africa here, whoever was allowed to do nudism, but today,
Today all the mosquitoes are buzzing loudly in chorus
Refrain:
When will it really be summer again - a summer like it used to be?
Yes - with sunshine from June to September and not as wet and as Siberian as last year
Winter was the disaster of the century, with only snow above one thousand meters altitude
My milkman says: It's no wonder this climate here, because it's only the SPD's [German politcal party] fault
I think that's going a bit far, but soon it will be vacation time again
And who among us doesn't think about it all the time?
Despite everything, I still believe that our weather will get better, just WHEN
and this question concerns us all
Refrain:
When will it really be summer again - a summer like it used to be?
Yes - with sunshine from June to September and not as wet and as Siberian as last year
