Текст песни Keep The Home Fires Burning (1917) (John McCormack) с переводом

They were summoned from the hillside

They were called in from the glen

And the country found them ready

At the stirring call for men

Let no tears add to their hardships

As the soldiers pass along

And although your heart is breaking

Make it sing this cheery song

Keep the Home Fires Burning

While your hearts are yearning

Though your lads are far away

They dream of home

There’s a silver lining

Through the dark clouds shining

Turn the dark cloud inside out

'Til the boys come home

Overseas there came a pleading

«Help a nation in distress.»

And we gave our glorious laddies

Honour bade us do no less

For no gallant son of freedom

To a tyrant’s yoke should bend

And a noble heart must answer

To the sacred call of «Friend.»

Keep the Home Fires Burning

While your hearts are yearning

Though your lads are far away

They dream of home

There’s a silver lining

Through the dark clouds shining

Turn the dark cloud inside out

'Til the boys come home
