Another version, British reply: byLucy Mannheim
Vielleicht fällst Du in Rußland,
Vielleicht in Afrika,
Doch irgendwo da fällst Du,
So will's Dein Führer ja.
Und wenn wir doch uns wiederseh'n,
Oh möge die Laterne steh'n
In einem ander'n Deutschland!
Deine Lili Marleen —
Der Führer ist ein Schinder,
Das seh'n wir hier genau.
Zu Waisen macht er Kinder,
Zur Witwe jede Frau.
Und wer an allem schuld ist, den
Will ich an der Laterne seh'n!
Hängt ihn an die Laterne!
Deine Lili Marleen.

This original version of this song became immensely popular during World War II throughout Europe and the Mediterranean among both Axis and Allied troops. The lyrics were originally written in 1915 as a poem, by Hans Leip. He wrote the words while serving in the army during World War I: "Das Mädchen unter der Laterne" (The Girl under the Lantern).
At least four different English versions of this song exist. The spelling of the name in the video differs from the one I use here because my friend Stefano8 successfully argued that "it should always be 'Lili Marleen', since it was the name of the author's girlfriend combined with the name of his best friend's girlfriend, and they were German."
Please let me know if you find other versions in any language.
