Genius English Translations - Kanonenfieber Der Maulwurf English Translation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sent underground to work as a miner
I thought I'd be protected from grenades
The 321st Mining Company
Fifty meters above us, mania reigns at the front
We dig for twelve hours, twelve hours to rest
But I can't sleep a wink while it is pounding
I just wait until the tunnel receives a grenade
And if the enemy can't do it, I'll do it myself!

[Chorus]
Digging and keep digging
With my spade
The mole sees no light
Digging and keep digging
Always underground
Until the tunnel finally collapses

[Verse 2]
Four men in the drag shaft form a shift
One who cuts thе clay with a spade
One holds the sandbag for him
Thе other two haul up the dirt
A carbide lamp gives us light
On top of that, black smoke that stings the chest
Worked invalid in oxygen deficiency
I swear, not much longer and I'll shoot myself!
[Chorus]
Digging and keep digging
With my spade
The mole sees no light
Digging and keep digging
Always underground
Until the tunnel finally collapses

[Bridge]
Breaking ground
And breaking more ground
Only water and earth, there is no daylight for us
Breaking ground
And breaking more ground
Open hands and knees, they bother me
Breaking ground
And breaking more ground
Working twelve-hour shifts every day for two years
Breaking ground
And breaking more ground
Just one more day and I'll go insane

[Verse 3]
I breathe in the soot and spit black in the morning
As if I don't have enough to worry about during the war
The constant shortage of air makes the mind sick
So it happens that some thoughts derail in the dark
It pounds and it shakes
The thud of a mine
Only seconds later the trench wall collapses
Stopping the digging grind for the very last time
And I apathetically press the zero-eight to my head
[Chorus]
Digging and keep digging
With my spade
The mole sees no light
Digging and keep digging
Always underground
Until the tunnel finally collapses
