Comrades, pour the wine to-night / For the parting is with dawn! / Oh, the clink of cups together, / With the daylight coming on! / Greet the morn / With a double horn, / When strong men drink together!
Comrades, gird your swords to-night, / For the battle is with dawn! / Oh, the clash of shields together, / With the triumph coming on! / Greet the foe, / And lay him low, / When strong men fight together!
Comrades, watch the tides to-night, / For the sailing is with dawn! / Oh, to face the spray together, / With the tempest coming on! / Greet the sea / With a shout of glee, / When strong men roam together!
Comrades, give a cheer to-night, / For the dying is with dawn! / Oh, to meet the stars together, / With the silence coming on! / Greet the end / As a friend a friend, / When strong men die together!
