Lily Marlène [English translation]

Behind the barracks,

as the day fades,

the old lantern

suddenly lights up and shines.

In that corner, in the evenings,

he used to await, filled with hope,

Lily, Lily Marleen

Lily, Lily Marleen

And in the darkness of night

their embraced figures

cast a single shadow

as they kissed.

A sweet joy made your

bright clear eyes sparkle as he said

" Lily, Lily Marleen "

Lily; Lily Marleen.

Time is running fast

when you're happy.

We have to separate

as the curfew kicks in.

Do you remember your regrets

as his voice whispered

" Farewell, Lily Marleen "

Farewell, Lily Marleen

Romantic song's love, love of twenty year old.

Keep this distant summer in your mind.

Thanks to this song made for you,

the whole world knows your name,

Lily, Lily Marleen

Lily, Lily Marleen

Behind the barracks,

as the day fades,

the old lantern

suddenly lights up and shines.

In that corner, in the evenings,

he used to await, filled with hope,

Lily, Lily Marleen

Lily, Lily Marleen
