Lyrics (lyricsty.com)
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh X2

Give me freedom, give me fire
Give me reason, take me higher
See the champions take the field now
Unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are liftin'
As we lose our inhibition
Celebration, it surrounds us
Every nation, all around us

[Bridge]
Singing' forever young, singin' songs underneath the sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day

[Chorus]
We all say,
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh X2

Give you freedom, give you fire
Give you reason, take you higher
See the champions take the field now
Unify us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are liftin'
As we lose our inhibition
Celebration, it surrounds us
Every nation, all around us

[Bridge]
Singing' forever young, singin' songs underneath the sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day

[Corus]
We all say,
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh X2
We all say,
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
And everybody will be singing it
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
And we all will be singing it...


En las calles muchas manos
levantadas, celebrando
una fiesta sin descanso
los países como hermanos

Canta y une tu voz
grita fuerte que te escuche el sol
el partido ya va a comenzar
todos juntos vamos a ganar

Unidos!
Seremos grandes,
seremos fuertes
somos un pueblo
bandera de la libertad
que viene y que va (x3)

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

1. 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. :|
2. Unsere beide Schatten
Sah'n wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
Das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute soll'n es seh'n
Wenn wir bei der Laterne steh'n
|: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
