Discover the story of the song > Nie mehr Fastelovend – Querbeat

The song is about a protagonist who used to celebrate Carnival ("Fastelovend") in Cologne with their partner, but now they can't because their partner is no longer with them. They reminisce about the past and how much fun they had together during the festivities. The protagonist goes on "trumm, trumm, trumm" (a reference to the drums played during Carnival) through the city with their friends, but it's just not the same without their partner. They declare that they will never celebrate Carnival again without them.
