Suzy Solidor was born on 18 December 1900 in the Pie district of Saint-Servan-sur-Mer in Brittany, France, under the name of Suzanne Louise Marie Marion. She was the daughter of Louise Marie Adeline Marion, a 28-year-old single mother. She died on 30 March 1983 in Cagnes-sur-Mer and is buried in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, where she had lived. In 1907 she became Suzy Rocher when her mother married Eugène Prudent Rocher. She later changed her name to Suzy Solidor when she moved to Paris in the late 1920’s, taking the name from a district of Saint-Servan in which she had lived.
Early in 1930 she became a popular singer and opened a chic nightclub called La Vie parisienne. She was openly lesbian.
One of the singer’s most famous publicity stunts was to become known as the “most painted woman in the world”. She posed for some of the greatest known artists of the day including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, Marie Laurencin, Francis Picabia and Kees van Dongen. Her stipulation for sitting was that she would be given the paintings to hang in her club and by this time she had accumulated thirty-three portraits of herself. La Vie parisienne became one of the trendiest night spots in Paris.
Solidor’s most famous portrait was done by Tamara de Lempicka.
Solidor met Tamara de Lempicka sometime in the early 1930s and Suzy asked the artist to paint her. Tamara agreed, but only if she could paint Solidor in the nude. Solidor agreed and the painting was finished in 1933.
During the occupation her nightclub was popular with German officers, and after the war she was convicted by the Épuration légale as a collaborator.
Lili Marlene
Suzy Solidor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll always stand and wait for you at night
We will create a world for two
I'll wait for you the whole night through
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene
Bugler tonight don't play the call to arms
Then we will say goodbye and part
I'll always keep you in my heart
With me, Lili Marlene
With me, Lili Marlene
Give me a rose to show how much you care
Tie to the stem a lock of golden hair
Surely tomorrow, you'll feel blue
But then will come a love that's new
For you, Lili Marlene
For you, Lili Marlene
When we are marching in the mud and cold
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene
The song "Lili Marlene" by Suzy Solidor is a romantic ballad that tells the story of a soldier who waits for his love outside the barracks by the corner light. He is hoping to spend the night with his beloved and create a world for two. He promises to wait for her the whole night through because his love for her is strong. However, he also knows that he must leave the next day and is asking the bugler not to play the call to arms so he can have another evening with his love.
The song is filled with impassioned lyrics and heartfelt promises. The soldier promises to keep his love in his heart always, even when they are apart. He gives her a rose with a lock of golden hair tied to the stem to show how much he cares. The song builds up to the soldier marching off to war in the mud and cold. But, his love for Lili Marlene renews his strength and makes his heavy pack feel lighter. The song is a tribute to love that endures even when faced with war and separation.

Outside the barracks, by the corner light
I will wait for you outside the barracks every night by the corner light
I'll always stand and wait for you at night
I will always wait for you until nightfall
We will create a world for two
You and I will create our own world together
I'll wait for you the whole night through
I will wait for you all night long
For you, Lili Marlene
I am waiting for you, my dear Lili Marlene
Bugler tonight don't play the call to arms
Bugler, tonight I request that you do not play the call to arms
I want another evening with her charms
I wish to spend another evening with your enchanting company
Then we will say goodbye and part
Eventually, we will have to say goodbye and part ways
I'll always keep you in my heart
But I will always keep you close to my heart
With me, Lili Marlene
You will always be with me, my dear Lili Marlene
Give me a rose to show how much you care
Please give me a rose as a symbol of your affection
Tie to the stem a lock of golden hair
And attach a lock of your golden hair to the rose
Surely tomorrow, you'll feel blue
I know you will feel sad tomorrow
But then will come a love that's new
But soon, you will find a new love
For you, Lili Marlene
But for now, I am waiting for you, Lili Marlene
When we are marching in the mud and cold
When we have to march in the dreary and harsh conditions
And when my pack seems more than I can hold
And when my backpack feels too heavy for me to carry
My love for you renews my might
My love for you strengthens me once again
I'm warm again, my pack is light
I feel warm and my backpack feels lighter
It's you, Lili Marlene
It's all because of you, Lili Marlene
It's you, Lili Marlene
You are the one who gives me the strength to carry on, Lili Marlene

Vor der Kaserne
vor dem großen Tor
stand eine Laterne
und steht sie noch davor
So wolln wir uns dort wiedersehn
bei der Laterne wolln wir stehn
wie einst, wie einst, Lili Marleen
Unsere beiden Schatten
sahn wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute solln es sehn
wenn wir bei der Laterne stehn
wie einst, wie einst, Lili Marleen
Schon rief der Posten
sie blasen Zapfenstreich
es kann drei Tage kosten
Kamerad, ich komm so gleich
Da sagten wir auf Wiedersehn
wie gerne wollt ich mit dir gehn
mit dir, Lili Marleen
Deine Schritte kennt sie
deinen zieren Gang
alle Abend brennt sie
mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leids geschehn
wer wird bei der Laterne stehn
mit dir, mit dir, Lili Marleen
Aus dem stillen Raume
aus der Erde Grund
hebt mich wie im Traume
dein verliebter Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
werd ich bei der Laterne stehn
wie einst, wie einst, Lili Marleen.

C’est tout une Histoire … une époque… une femme talentueuse… une chanson éternelle… avec un grand coup de nostalgie… superbe…
@vincentgorius8526
Lili Marlène est une chanson d d'amour incomprise...
Elle apparaît la douleur des soldats et peut-être leur cruauté au combat...sur un champs de bataille le coeur d un soldat pense toujours à une femme qu il doit retrouver....ou a à sa mère patrie.
Lili Marlène chanson du soldat éternel
