Thomascow`s version of "Lili Marleen". It is a 1900`s war love song, the words were written in 1915 during World War I by Hans Leip (1893-1983), a Hamburg school teacher from who had been enlisted into the Imperial German Army. Leip pooled the names of his girlfriend and another female. The poem was later published as "Das Lied eines jungen Soldaten auf der Wacht" ("The Song of a Young Soldier on Watch"). It was set to music by Norbert Schultze in 1938. Tommy Connor wrote English lyrics. The song was originally titled "Das Mädchen unter der Laterne" ("the girl under the lantern"), it became famous as "Lili Marleen".Records by Lale Andersen in 1939 and Marlene Dietrich helped lift the song's profile. It achieved esteem despite the opposition of the Nazi regime, especially Joseph Goebbels, the Nazis' propaganda minister.
