Arbeit
Ostbahn Kurti & Die Chefpartie Lyrics

Es is no finsta und do hea i eam scho
It's still dark outside and I can already hear him

Er redt nix und huast vü, waamt Kaffee am Rescho
He doesn't speak much, just grunts while making coffee

I lieg no in da Hapfn, wann de Tia draußt geht
I'm still in bed when the day starts

Weu in de Arbeit, in de Arbeit kummt ma ned z'spät
Because in work, you can't be late

Vuabei an hochn Häusa volla zsammgstauchte Leit
Next to high-rises packed with crushed people

Zerscht min Radl, dann min Moped, aufs Auto spart a bis heit
First my bike, then my moped, he's even saving up for a car

Er is bald derrisch von da Hockn und er is blind fias Lebm
He's physically worn out and emotionally numb

Weu in da Arbeit, in da Arbeit, muaß ma ollas gebm
Because in work, you have to give everything

Wann a hamkummt is finsta, da Tog is vuabei
When he comes home, it's already dark, the day is over

Er hod tan wos zum tuan is, weu des muaß so sei
He still has something to do, because it has to be done

Er redt nix und huast vü
He doesn't speak much, just grunts

Er wü sei Ruah, sein Tee mit Rum
He wants his peace, his tea with rum

Weu des Lebm is Arbeit und de bringt eam um
Because life is work, and it's killing him

Jo, weu des Lebm is Arbeit, und de bringt eam um
Yes, because life is work, and it's killing him
