In front of the barracks
In front of the big gate
There was a lantern
And it's still in front of it
So we'll see each other there again
At that We want to stand at the lantern
Like Lili Marleen once did
Our two shadows
Looked like one
Because we loved each other so much
You could see that straight away from it
And everyone should see it
When we stand by the lantern
Like Lili Marleen once did
The guard was already calling,
They are blowing Zapfenstreich
That could take three days
Comrade, I'll come straight away
So we said goodbye
How much I wanted to go with you
With me to you Lili Marleen
She knows your steps,
Your graceful walk
Every evening she burns,
But she forgot me for a long time
And should any harm happen to me
Who will stand by the lantern
With you Lili Marleen
From the quiet room,
From the ground of the earth
Lift me as if in a dream
Your mouth in love
When the late fog turns
I will stand by the lantern
Like Lili Marleen once did
