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
