A quick google session revealed it was probably the song "Du Schwarzer Zigeuner":

In case you don't speak Deutsch, here's a quick translation:
"In the 30s, this song was played first by the Harry Hiller Dance Orchestra, it originated from East Europe. Later it became known through variations of Vico Torriani and Karel Gott".
Both these artists were well-known and popular when the film was shot, so the version in the movie is probably from one of them.
It's not one of them. Although Vico Torriani did the best version of the dozen or so I could find - most of them are pure trash. This song really is an old chestnut in Germany. I'm still looking for the version played in the film.
