Lili Marlene

Marlene Dietrich

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



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
