Chom gemmer de Hilti
Ech bohre es Loch drii

Das macht mi fertig
Chom gemmer de Hilti
Ech bohre es Loch drii

Das macht mi fertig

Chom gemmer de Hilti

Das macht mi fertig

Ech wär lieber ech wär lieber
Ech wär lieber no am Strand
Ech wär lieber ech wär lieber
Ech wär lieber no am Strand
Aber ech bohr ond bohr dor die Wand
Ond ech bohr ond bohr metem Hilti e de Hand
Ond ech bohr ond bohr ech gseh scho de Sand
Wenni wiiter bohr ond bohr chomi weder a Strand

Wenni wiiter bohr ond bohr hani säuber glii mi eiget Strand

Overall Meaning

The song 'Strand' by Kunz talks about how the mundane, everyday tasks of work and responsibilities can be exhausting and take away from enjoying life. The lyrics, 'Chom gemmer de Hilti, ech bohre es Loch drii, Mäntig bis Friitig, das macht mi fertig' translate to 'Let's grab the drill, I'll bore a hole through, Monday through Friday, it makes me tired.' The repetition of this line emphasizes the monotony of the task and how it takes away from other more enjoyable activities.

The chorus, 'Ech wär lieber no am Strand' means, 'I'd rather be at the beach' and makes it clear that the singer wishes they were anywhere but at work. This is reinforced with the lines, 'Aber ech bohr ond bohr dor die Wand, ond ech bohr ond bohr metem Hilti e de Hand, ond ech bohr ond bohr ech gseh scho de Sand, wenni wiiter bohr ond bohr chomi weder a Strand' which translate to 'But I drill and I drill through the wall, and I drill and I drill with the Hilti in my hand, and I drill and I drill, I already see the sand, when I drill and drill further, I'll be at the beach again'.

The song cleverly juxtaposes the desire for a carefree, relaxing time with the reality of the demands of life. It shows the struggle between wanting to pursue your passions and responsibilities, illuminating the daily grind of working life, and the desire for more simplicity.
