This moon in ruins knows what happened
Look at my uniform, my honor sewed it for me
I was a bad soldier, I gave up
But finally I returned to you
For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen
I searched for death, I almost found it
You never wrote me, I never wrote you
But I killed thinking of you
I never laughed, I never cried
For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen
They never told me what should I do
Every man for himself, power to madmen
And an explosion talked to me about you
Lili is bad, Lili is good
For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen
Don't get intoxicated, stop crying
I meant to be a hero, better luck next time
I wasn't brave, I know ir
I feel bad, I feel good
For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen
