Lili Marleen
Last Staurday I went to see a movie at German Cultural Center in Kyoto. The movie was entitled "Lili Marleen." Lale Anderson sang this song for German soldiers in the 2nd World War. Hearing her sweet voice with melancholy melody associated with the French Chanson warmed the cockles of German soldiers' hearts. Soon the record became German bestseller. It was boradcast by Radio Belgrade throughtout Europe to soothe the Germans at front, who yearned for his fatherland and loved ones. The broadcasting capacity was so strong that the song reached as far as Casablanca in North Africa.
In the course of time Anderson had an affair with a Jew in Switzerland. Then the notorious Advertizing Minister Joseph Goebbels forbade her to sing "Lili Marleen." As you know the Nazis, being proud of thier own race, abhorred the relationships with the Jews. What a jerk! He's a really pain in the ass. However his decision was renounced, as thousands of soldiers were eager to listen to her. She kept right on singing. Then all soldiers quit jerking off.
It's mind- boggling to hear that "Lili Marleen" has an English version.
When the Allies closed in on Germany, that mesmerizing blue-eyed handsome Marlene Dietrich, popped up and started singing "Lili Marleen" for American young soldiers. Did she sell her pure arian body and soul to Western Cowboys? What a disgusting traitor! For she had fled Germany and took the side of the Allied Army. But she turned out to be today's Madonna, Gaga or whoever. It goes without saying Yankee soldiers had a crush on "Lili Marleen" and Marlene Dietrich as well.
I found it a little bit sarcastic because she cheated on the Germans.
Once the war was over, Germany declined Dietrich's offer naturally that she wanted to come back home.
On the 6th of May, 1992 she died in Paris. It's a shame. But I personally like the German version.
Let me introduce the first strophe to you.
"Vor der Kohlen, aus dem Keller
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor,
So wollen wir uns da wiedersehen,
Bei der Laterne wollen wir sehen,
Wie einst Lili Marina
Wie einst Lili Marina"
I quit jerking off, too.
