Lyrics
Grabe, Spaden, grabe,
Alles was ich habe
Dank ich, Spaden, dir!
Reich’ und arme Leute
Werden meine Beute,
Kommen einst zu mir!
Weiland groß und edel,
Nickte dieser Schädel
Keinem Gruße Dank!
Dieses Beingerippe,
Ohne Wang’ und Lippe,
Hatte Gold und Rang!
Jener Kopf mit Haaren
War vor wenig Jahren
Schön wie Engel sind!
Tausend junge Fentchen
Leckten ihm das Händchen,
Gafften sich halb blind!
Grabe, Spaden, grabe,
Alles was ich habe
Dank ich, Spaden, dir!
Reich’ und arme Leute
Werden meine Beute,
Kommen einst zu mir!
Lyrics translation
Dig, spades, dig, all I have thanks to me, spades, you!
Rich and poor people become my prey, come to me once!
Because great and Noble, this skull nodded thanks to no greeting!
This leg rib, without Wang ' and lip, had Gold and rank!
That head with hair was beautiful as angels are a few years ago!
A thousand young ducks licked his hand, gawked half blindly!
Dig, spades, dig, all I have thanks to me, spades, you!
Rich and poor people become my prey, come to me once!
