Lili Marlene
Outside the Barracks
By the corner Light
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 Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene
Bugler, tonight don't
Play the call to Arms
I want another
Evening with her Charms
Then we
will say
Goodbye and part
I'll always keep you
In my Heart
With me, Lili Marlene
With me, Lili Marlene
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 Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene
(
Instrumental )
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 Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene
My Love
for you
Renews my Might
I'm warm again
My Pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene
