#dwarves #choir #parody #dnd #german

My kids (9 & 15) and me are playing Dungeons & Dragons. Together, we have made up quite the crazy stuff.

One of our favorites are Dwarf Jokes™️. "Q: What do you call a dwarf with red hair? A: Shingle!" These jokes compare dwarves to different kinds of rocks, and although seldomly funny, always cause a roar of laughter.

So when my daughter recently turned into a fan girl of the KPop Demon Hunters, the obvious thing for us to do was to cover their hit single "Golden" as a dwarf choir.

(Verse 1) Wir ha'm gelacht Unten im Schacht (Ha!) Nachts um vier (Ha!) Tranken wir Bier

(Verse 2) Wir ha'm geschlemmt Im Sediment (Ha!) Mit Pläsier (Ha!) Soffen wir unser Bier

(Pre-Chorus) Unser Berg hallt laut Bis der Morgen graut Wir klopfen heute den Fels Zutzeln Bier und Wurst Mit 'nem Riesendurst Graben wir unsre Tunells

(Chorus) Wir ziehen los! los! los! Los in den Stollen Denn dort liegt was wir wollen Die Steine glänzen so golden (Oh-oh-oh!) Tief! tief! tief! Tief in die Berge Denn dort geh'n wir zu Werke So ist das Leben der Zwerge

(Bridge) Weder Höhen Noch Sturmböen Bringen uns zu Fall Denn wir Zwerge Haben Stärke Brechen jeden Wall

(Chorus)

(Translation)

(Verse 1) We laughed Deep in the hole (Ha!) At night at half four (Ha!) We drank our beer

(Verse 2) We feasted In the sediment (Ha!) With pleasure (Ha!) We drank our beer

(Pre-Chorus) Our mountain resounds loudly Until the morning dawns We will break the rocks Guzzling our beer and wurst With enormous thirst We are digging our tunnels

(Chorus) We're moving on! on! on! On into the mine Because that's where there is what we want The stones are gleaming so golden (Oh-oh-oh!) Deep! deep! deep! Deep into the mountain Because that's where we are toiling That's life as a dwarf

(Bridge) Neither heights Nor storm winds Can bring us down Because us dwarves We have strengths Breaking through every wall
