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
