AFRIKAANS [1]
LILI MARLEEN

Listen to the bugle, hear its silv'ry call,
Carried by the night air telling one and all,
"Now is the time to meet your girl,
to meet your girl,
to meet your girl",
as once I met Marleen...
my sweet Lili Marleen.

Underneath the lantern by the barracks gate,
there I met Marleen every night at eight...
That was the time in early Spring
when birds all sing
then Love was king,
of my heart and Marleen's,
of my heart and Marleen's.

Waiting for the drum beat signaling retreat,
walking in the shadows where all lovers meet.
Yes, those were days of long ago
I loved her so,
I couldn't know
that time would part Marleen,
that time would part Marleen.

Then I heard the bugle calling me away,
by the gate I kissed her, kissed her tears away.
And, by the flick'ring lantern's light
I held her tight,
t'was our last night,
my last night with Marleen
my last night with Marleen.

Still I hear the bugle, hear its silv'ry call,
carried by the night air telling one and all,
"Now is the time to meet your girl,
to meet your girl,
to meet your girl",
as once I met Marleen
my sweet Lili Marleen.
Buite my kaserne
wag ek elke nag,
staan ek in die lamplig
daar vir jou en wag...
'N huisie vir twee sal ons laat bou,
ek wag my lewe lank vir jou,
vir jou, Lili Marlene,
vir jou, Lili Marlene.

Blaas daar die sein
vir bewapening
gee my nog 'n aand
in jou betowering
moet ons dan vaarwel sê
en moet skei maar in my hart
bly jy by my,
net jy Lili Marlene.

Gee my dan 'n roos
om te kan wys jy
gee ook om met
'n goue kruis voel jy
terneergeslaan onthou daar
kom weer beter dae,
vir jou Lili Marlene,
vir jou Lili Marlene.

As ons marsjeer
in modder en in kou
en my pak voel swaarder
as wat ek kan hou
my liefde vir jou hernieu,
my plig ek is weer warm
my pak voel lig vir jou,
vir jou, Lili Marlene.

En as die oorlog
oor is en ons veg nie meer,
kry ek jou dan daar net
by jou woonhuisdeur,
ons liefde sal ons weer kan herbou,
my liefde die bly nog steeds vir jou,
vir jou Lili Marlene,
vir jou Lili Marlene.
