Lili Marleen [Lied eines jungen Wachtpostens]
Hans LeipINGLESE / ENGLISH [2] - Marlene Dietrich | |
LILLY MARLENE LILLY OF THE LAMPLIGHT Underneath the lantern, By the barrack gate Darling I remember The way you used to wait T'was there that you whispered tenderly, That you loved me, You'd always be, My Lilly of the Lamplight, My own Lilly Marlene Time would come for roll call, Time for us to part, Darling I'd caress you And press you to my heart, And there 'neath that far-off lantern light, I'd hold you tight , We'd kiss good night, My Lilly of the Lamplight, My own Lilly Marlene Orders came for sailing, Somewhere over there All confined to barracks was more than I could bear I knew you were waiting in the street I heard your feet, But could not meet, My Lilly of the Lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene Resting in our billets, Just behind the lines Even tho' we're parted, Your lips are close to mine You wait where that lantern softly gleams, Your sweet face seems To haunt my dreams My Lilly of the Lamplight, My own Lilly Marlene. | LILI MARLEEN 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 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, Lili Marleen With me, Lili Marleen 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, 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. |
