The famous carnival song, written in 1937, is still sung today.To appreciate the lyrics (translated by lyricstranslate.com) you have to know that “being blue” in German means being drunk.

Blue like a cornflower


Blue like a cornflower

Is the sky by the wonderful river Rhine

Blue like a cornflower

Are the eyes of the women drinking wine

So guys, be clever, drink Rhine wine

And you're gonna end up being blue like a cornflower, too.
