Lili Marleen

In front of the barracks
In front of the big gate
There's a lantern
And if it's still there
There we want to meet again
By the lantern we want to stand
Like Lili Marleen once did
Like Lili Marleen once did

Our two shadows
Looked like one
That we loved each other
It was clear to see
And everyone should see it
When we stand by the lantern
Like Lili Marleen once did
Like Lili Marleen once did

The guard already called
They're playing the curfew
It can cost three days
Comrade, I'll come right away
Then we said goodbye
How much I wanted to go with you
With you Lili Marleen
With you Lili Marleen

She knows your steps
Your beautiful walk
Every evening she burns
But she forgot me long ago
And if something bad happens to me
Who will stand by the lantern
With you Lili Marleen?
With you Lili Marleen?

From the quiet room
From the earth's ground
Rises as if in a dream
Your loving mouth
When the late mists swirl
Who will stand by the lantern?
With you Lili Marleen?
With you Lili Marleen?

When the late mists swirl
Who will stand by the lantern?
With you Lili Marleen?
