Lili Marlen

This moon in ruins
Knows what happened
Look at my uniform
My honor sewed it for me
I was a bad soldier, I surrendered
But in the end, I have returned to you

For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen

I sought death
I almost found it
You never wrote to me
I never wrote to you
But I killed thinking of you
I never cried, I never laughed

For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen

They never told me
What to do
Every man for himself
Madmen in power
And an explosion spoke to me about you
Lili is not well, Lili is fine

For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen

Don't poison yourself
Stop crying
I wanted to be a hero
It will be another time
I wasn't brave, I know
I feel bad, I feel good

For you, Lili Marlen
For you, Lili Marlen
