Lili Marleen

Outside the barracks, by the cornerlight
I'll always stand and wait for you at night.
We will create a world for two,
I'll wait for you, the whole night through.
For you, Lili Marleen.
For you, Lili Marleen.

Bugler tonight, don't play the call to arms
I want to spend another evening with her charms.
Then we will say goodbye and part,
I'll always keep you in my heart.
With me, Lili Marleen.
With me, Lili Marleen.

Give me a rose, to show how much you care,
Tie to the stem a lock of golden hair.
Surely tomorrow you'll feel blue,
But then will come a love that's new.
For you, Lili Marleen.
For you, Lili Marleen.

When we are marching, in the mud and cold,
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might;
I'm warm again, my pack is light.
It's you, Lili Marleen.
It's you, Lili Marleen.
