We are all little sinners

We are all little sinners is a German hit. The melody comes from the old Silesian folk song When we go to church on Sundays ( When mer suuntichs ei de Kerche giehn , recorded in 1887). The German pop composer and songwriter Heinz Korn composed the text “We are all little sinners” in 1964 to this melody, which was arranged by Werner Twardy and Fred Conta . The song was sung by Willy Millowitsch in the feature film Alter Kahn und Junge Liebe (1973). The song was recorded on vinyl (label Polydor ) and re-released several times on LP and audio CD.

In 1972 the title line was the motto of the Cologne Rose Monday procession .
