Lili Marleen

This moon in ruins knows what happened
Look at my uniform, my honor sewed it
I was a bad soldier, I surrendered
But in the end, I have returned to you
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene

I sought death, almost found it
You never wrote to me, I never wrote to you
But I killed thinking of you
I never cried, I never laughed
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene

They never told me what to do
Every man for himself, madmen in power
And an explosion spoke to me of you
Lili is not well, Lili is fine
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene

Don't poison yourself, stop crying
I wanted to be a hero, maybe next time
I wasn't brave, I know
I feel bad, I feel good
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene
