Where warm is the welcome, the company good

Far from the battle, the blood and the mud

So stoke up the embers and warm your bones through

Forget all your trouble, there's drinking to do, come on
Inviting to forget troubles and enjoy drinking together.
Laugh with me loudly, sing with me too

Remember the embers of love that we knew
Reminding to recall the remaining warmth of past love.
We'll remember the embers of love that we knew
Reiterating the importance of remembering the love that once existed.
Long is the distance, hard is the mile

That drags me away from our innocent smile

Where wild is the welcome, the company right

Far from the rattle and roar of the fight

Laugh with me loudly, sing with me too

Take my wage packet, well spent at the bar

My soul I would flog it for one last hurrah
