Near the barracks, in the light of the lantern
swirling leaves in twos September
Oh, how long have these walls
I myself was ,
standing and waiting
you, Lili Marleen ,
you, Lili Marleen .
If in the trenches of fear will not die ,
if I do not make a sniper hole
if I did not give up a prisoner ,
we will again
twist love
with you, Lili Marleen ,
with you, Lili Marleen .
Beating hurricane , God help ,
I give Ivans helmet and boots,
just to let me return
under the lamp
stand alone
with you, Lili Marleen ,
with you, Lili Marleen .
Do trite death in war
and sentimental meeting in the moonlight ,
is there that the round your knees,
thy tribes ,
Ich liebe dich,
My Lili Marleen ,
My Lili Marleen .
Run out of ammunition , the war is over ,
near the fence, one at dusk ,
will you stand in these walls,
stand in the mist ,
stand and wait
me, Lili Marleen ,
me, Lili Marleen .
