Вера Линн Lili Marleen

Текст песни "Вера Линн — Lili Marleen"

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 Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli 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 Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli 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
