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.
