Berliner Luft
1904 song by Paul Lincke
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Berliner Luft" (English: "Berlin Air") is a 1904 song composed by Paul Lincke with lyrics by Heinrich Bolten-Baeckers. It was originally part of a two-act opera of the same title when it was called Das ist die Berliner Luft, but became popular and widely performed on its own. In 1922 Lincke added it to an expanded version of his operetta Frau Luna .[1] The song's popularity led to Lincke becoming associated with Berlin in the same manner Jacques Offenbach was linked with Paris.[2]
