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 Marleen,
For you, Lili Marleen.
Bugle 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 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
