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. 

Bugle 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. 

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.
