Right, "Leb wohl" is like the English fare well, but in the song, as it is in the old chantey, 'fare thee well' is meant.

Uncle Dave didn't do badly, however. I am surprised that there isn't an English remake. I like the German, however, as it expresses the sadness and loneliness on parting simply and well.

Lili Marleen suffered in the English remake, as many translated songs do.
