Lolita - Lili Marleen 2005

Lolita, eigentlich Edith Einzinger, geborene Zuser
(* 17. Januar 1931 in St. Pölten; † 30. Juni 2010 in Salzburg), war eine österreichische Schlagersängerin, Schauspielerin und Fernsehmoderatorin.

Original von Lale Andersen 1939
'Lili Marleen' became the favourite tune of soldiers on both sides during World War II, regardless of language.

The songtext exists in a lot of different languages.
For more informations to the background of this song have a look in the internet.

Songtext Deutsch (German):
Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem großen Tor
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor
So woll'n wir uns da wieder seh'n
Bei der Laterne wollen wir steh'n
Wie einst Lili Marleen, wie einst Lili Marleen.

Deine Schritte kennt sie,
Deinen schönen Gang
Alle Abend brennt sie,
Doch mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leid gescheh'n
Wer wird bei der Laterne steh'n
Mit dir Lili Marleen, mit dir Lili Marleen?

Aus dem stillen Raume,
Aus der Erde Grund
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebter Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n
Wie einst Lili Marleen, wie einst Lili Marleen.

Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n
Wie einst Lili Marleen, wie einst Lili Marleen.


Literal english translation:
At the barracks compound,
By the entry way
There a lantern I found
And if it stands today
Then we'll see each other again
Near that old lantern we'll remain
As once Lili Marleen, As once Lili Marleen.

Well she knows your foot steps,
Your own determined gait.
Ev'ry evening waiting,
Me? A mem'ry of late.
Should something e'er happen to me,
Who will under the lantern be,
With you Lili Marleen, With you Lili Marleen?

From my quiet existence,
And from this earthly pale,
Like a dream you free me,
With your lips so hale.
When the night mists swirl and churn,
Then to that lantern I'll return,
As once Lili Marleen, As once Lili Marleen.

When the night mists swirl and churn,
Then to that lantern I'll return,
As once Lili Marleen, As once Lili Marleen.

The standard English version as sung by Annie Sheldon and Vera Lynn

1944
LILI MARLENE
Underneath the lantern,
By the barrack gate
Darling I remember
The way you used to wait
T'was there that you whispered tenderly,
That you loved me,
You'd always be,
My Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene

Time would come for roll call,
Time for us to part,
Darling I'd caress you
And press you to my heart,
And there 'neath that far-off lantern light,
I'd hold you tight ,
We'd kiss good night,
My Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene

Orders came for sailing,
Somewhere over there
All confined to barracks
was more than I could bear
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet,
But could not meet,
My Lilly of the Lamplight,
my own Lilly Marlene

Resting in our billets,
Just behind the lines
Even tho' we're parted,
Your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams,
Your sweet face seems
To haunt my dreams
My Lilly of the Lamplight,
My own Lilly Marlene

  • Lale Andersen und Lolita, bei eurer Lili Marleen war die Musik noch sauber, im Gegensatz zum degenerierten Schrott von heute. Aber das liegt am antideutschen System von heute, das es zu überwinden gilt...

  • Sie - ja Sie - Sie hat das Recht das Lied zu singen !
