|
| Doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)
|
| Would you like to hear the story
|
| Of a girl that many soldiers know?
|
| It’s a tale of love in all it’s glory
|
| They tell when the lights are soft an' low!
|
| Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
|
| Standing all alone every night you’ll see her wait
|
| She waits for a boy who marched away
|
| And though he’s gone, she hears him say:
|
| «Oh promise you’ll be true
|
| Fare thee well Lili Marlene
|
| 'till I return to you
|
| Fare thee well Lili Marlene! |
| "
|
| (This is the story of Lili Marlene!)
|
| With a kiss she gave her promise
|
| To be constant as the stars above
|
| Every soldier knows she’s kept her promise
|
| And she has been faithful to her love!
|
| (Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
|
| Standing all alone every night you’ll see her wait
|
| For this is the place a vow was made
|
| And breezes sing her serenade. |

|
| No one knows just what the end will be
|
| But tonight when twilight is descending
|
| If you’ll come along, here’s what you’ll see. |

|
| Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
|
| Standing all alone every night you’ll see her wait
|
| And as they go marching to the fray
|

| We’ll tell him you’ve been true
|
| Fare thee well Lili Marlene

| 'till he returns to you
|
| Fare thee well. |
