Lili Marleen [Lied eines jungen Wachtpostens]
Hans LeipINGLESE / ENGLISH [3] - Frank | |
LILI MARLEEN | LILI MARLEEN |
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 | At the barracks compound, By the entry way There a lantern I found And if it stands today Then we'll see each other again Near that old lantern we'll remain As once Lili Marleen. |
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 Marleen With me, Lili Marleen | Both our shadows meeting, Melding into one Our love was not fleeting And plain to everyone, Then all the people shall behold When we stand by that lantern old As once Lili Marleen. |
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, Lili Marleen For you, Lili Marleen | Then the guard to me says: "There's tap call, let's go. This could cost you three days." "Be there in half a mo'." So that was when we said farewell, Tho' with you I would rather dwell, With 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 | Well she knows your foot steps, Your own determined gait. Ev'ry evening waiting, Me? A mem'ry of late. Should something e'er happen to me, Who will under the lantern be, With you Lili Marleen? |
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. | From my quiet existence, And from this earthly pale, Like a dream you free me, With your lips so hale. When the night mists swirl and churn, Then to that lantern I'll return, As once Lili Marleen. |
