Outside the barracks
 By the corner light
 I 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

 beugler tonight, don't play the call to arms
 I want another evening with it's charms
 Then we will say goodbye and part
 I'll always keep you in my heart
 With me, lili Marleen
 With me, lili Marleen

 give me a rose to show how much you care
 Tie to the stem a lock of golden hair
 Surely tomorrow, you'll feel blue
 But then [bad word] a love that's new
 For you, lili Marleen
 For 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

 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
