Songtexte Lili Marlene - Anne Shelton

Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
Darling, I remember the way you used to wait
Was there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili 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 Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene

Resting in the billet just behind the line
Even though 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 Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
