Lili Marleen [Lied eines jungen Wachtpostens]
Hans Leip| INGLESE / ENGLISH [2] - Marlene Dietrich | |
| LILI MARLEEN | LILI MARLEEN |
| Listen to the bugle, hear its silv'ry call, Carried by the night air telling one and all, "Now is the time to meet your girl, to meet your girl, to meet your girl", as once I met Marleen... my sweet 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 |
| Underneath the lantern by the barracks gate, there I met Marleen every night at eight... That was the time in early Spring when birds all sing then Love was king, of my heart and Marleen's, of my heart and Marleen's. | 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 |
| Waiting for the drum beat signaling retreat, walking in the shadows where all lovers meet. Yes, those were days of long ago I loved her so, I couldn't know that time would part Marleen, that time would part 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 |
| Then I heard the bugle calling me away, by the gate I kissed her, kissed her tears away. And, by the flick'ring lantern's light I held her tight, t'was our last night, my last night with Marleen my last night with 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 |
| Still I hear the bugle, hear its silv'ry call, carried by the night air telling one and all, "Now is the time to meet your girl, to meet your girl, to meet your girl", as once I met Marleen my sweet 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. |
