Vor der Kaserne

Vor dem groen Tor

Stand eine Laterne

Und steht sie noch davor

So wolln wir da uns wiedersehn,

Bei der Laterne wolln wir stehn,

Wie einst, Lili Marleen

Wie einst, Lili Marleen

Underneath the lantern

By the barrack gate,

Darling I remember

The way you used to wait:

It was there that you whispered tenderly,

That you lov'd me

You'd always be

My own Lilli Marlene.

My own Lilli Marlene.

Time would come for roll call,

Time for us to part,

Darling I'd caress you

And press you to my heal;

There' neath that far off lantern light,

I'd hold you tight,

We'd kiss
