#5 With a kiss she gave her promise,
to be constant as the stars above,
every soldier knows she's kept her promise,
and she has been faithful to her love!

Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
for this is the place a vow was made
and breezes sing her serenade . . .

"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene, "

#6 Click here for a RealAudio version of Lili Marlene

From Wikipedia: Dietrich became one of the first celebrities to raise war bonds. She entertained troops on the front lines. Dietrich was known to have strong political convictions and the mind to speak them. Like many Weimar era German entertainers, she was a staunch anti-Nazi who despised antisemitism.

She recorded a number of anti-Nazi records in German for the OSS, including "Lili Marleen." She sang for the Allied troops on the front lines in Algeria and France, and went into Germany with Generals Gavin and Patton. When asked why she had done this, in spite of the obvious danger of being within a few kilometers of German lines, she replied, "aus Anstand" — "it was the decent thing to do."

Dietrich was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the U.S. Government for her war work. She was also made a chevalier (later commandeur) of the Légion d'Honneur by the French government.
