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, lilli marlene

For you, lilli 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, lilli marlene

With me, lilli marlene



Give me a rose to show how much you care

Tied 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, lilli marlene

For you, lilli mar-lene



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, lilli marlene

It's you, lilli marlene



My love for you renews my might

I'm warm again, my pack is light

It's you, lilli marlene

It's you, lilli mar-lene
