Print Version


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

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 is there is no complaining
Winter will in time be past
One day we shall cry rejoicing
"Homeland, dear, you?re mine at last"

We are the Peat Bog Soldiers
We?re marching with our spades to the bog

Then will the Peat Bog Soldiers
March no more with the spades to the bog

# The German original lyrics,
# written by Rudi Goguel (Music: Hanns Eisler)
# in the German Conzentration Camp B?rgermoor II

Wohin auch das Auge blicket, Moor und Heide nur ringsrum
Vogelsang uns nicht erquicket, Eichen stehen kahl und krumm

Auf und nieder geh?n die Posten, keiner, keiner kann hindurch
Flucht wird nur das Leben kosten, vielfach ist umz?unt die Burg

Heimw?rts, heimw?rts, jeder sehnet, nach der Mutter, Frau und Kind
Manche Brust ein Seufzer dehnet, weil wir hier gefangen sind

Morgens ziehen die Kolonnen, durch das Moor zur Arbeit hin
Graben bei dem Brand der Sonne, doch zur Heimat steht der Sinn

Doch f?r uns gibt es kein Klagen, ewig kann?s nicht Winter sein
Einmal werden froh wir sagen "Heimat, Du bist wieder mein"

Wir sind die Moorsoldaten
und ziehen mit dem Spaten ins Moor

Dann ziehen die Moorsoldaten
NICHT MEHR mit dem Spaten ins Moor
