PETE SEEGER lyrics - Peat Bog Soldiers
"Peat Bog Soldiers" ringtone
Far and wide as the eye can wander,
Heath and bog are everywhere,
Not a bird sings out to cheer us,
Oaks are standing, gaunt and bare.
[Chorus:]
We are the peat bog soldiers.
We're marching with our spades,
To the bog.
Up and down the guards are pacing,
No one, no one can go through.
Flight would mean a sure death facing,
Guns and barbed wire greet our view.
But for us there is no complaining,
Winter will in time be past.
One day we shall cry rejoicing,
"Homeland dear, you're mine at last!"
[Final Chorus:]
Then will the peat bog soldiers,
March no more with spades,
To the bog.
[Original Version:]
[Die Moorsoldaten]
Wohin auch das Auge blicket
Moor und Heide nur ringsum
Vogelsang uns nicht erquicket
Eichen stehen kahl und krumm
[Refrain:]
Wir sind die Moorsoldaten
Und ziehen mit dem Spaten
Ins Moor
Hier in dieser sden Heide
Ist das Lager aufgebaut
Wo wir fern von jeder Freude
Hinter Stacheldraht verstaut
Morgens ziehen die Kolonnen
In das Moor zur Arbeit hin
Graben bei dem Brand der Sonne
Doch zur Heimat steht ihr Sinn
Heimwsrts, heimwsrts jeder sehnet
Nach den Eltern, Weib und Kind
Manche Brust ein Seufzer dehnet
Weil wir hier gefangen sind
Auf und nieder gehn die Posten
Keiner, keiner kann hindurch
Flucht wird uns das Leben kosten
Vierfach ist umzsunt die Burg
Doch fur uns gibt es kein Klagen
Ewig kann's nicht Winter sein
Einmal werden froh wir sagen
"Heimat, du bist wieder mein"
[Refrain:]
Dann ziehn die Moorsoldaten
N i c h t mehr mit dem Spaten
Ins Moor!
