Ah, battles and wars
Leave deep wounds and scars
And deep wounds are long in the memory
Where reflecting upon
All that is gone
Your life passes on til it's ending
But the pleasure and pain
In our memories remain
And by memories, our time will be measured
And the time that we spend
With lovers and friends
Is time we remember with pleasure
So fill up your glass
To the future and past
In harmony, be determined:
There's more friendship poured out
In a bottle of stout
Than you'll find in statutes and sermons
Leave deep wounds and scars
And deep wounds are long in the memory
Where reflecting upon
All that is gone
Your life passes on til it's ending
But the pleasure and pain
In our memories remain
And by memories, our time will be measured
And the time that we spend
With lovers and friends
Is time we remember with pleasure
So fill up your glass
To the future and past
In harmony, be determined:
There's more friendship poured out
In a bottle of stout
Than you'll find in statutes and sermons
