Lili Marlene
This is the story of Lili MarleneDoo, doo, doo doo, dooWould you like to hear the storyOf a girl that many soldiers know?It's a tale of love in all its gloryThey tell when the lights are soft an' lowUnderneath the lamp post by the brigadesStanding all alone every night you'll see her waitShe waits for a boy who marched awayAnd though he's gone, she hears him say"Oh promise you'll be trueFare thee well, Lili Marlene'Till I return to youFare thee well, Lili Marlene"This is the story of Lili MarleneWith a kiss she gave her promiseTo be constant as the stars aboveEvery soldier knows she's kept her promiseAnd she has been faithful to her loveUnderneath the lamp post by the brigadeLetras de cancionesStanding all alone every night you'll see her waitFor this is the place a vow was madeAnd breezes sing her serenade"Oh promise you'll be trueFare thee well, Lili Marlene'Till I return to youFare thee well, Lili Marlene"This is the story of Lili MarleneThough wee stems have an endingNo one knows just what the end will beBut tonight when twilight is descendingIf you'll come along, here's what you'll seeUnderneath the lamp post by the brigadeStanding all alone every night you'll see her waitAnd as they go marching to the frayThe soldiers all salute and say"We'll tell him you've been trueFare thee well, Lili Marlene'Till he returns to youFare thee well, Lili Marlene" From Letras Mania
