La Chicane la compagnie

Select language to translate this lyric

When I left I was fifteen years old
I went digging inside
The gold vein of the Company
When I left I had a hundred years
Exhausted by this vein of gold, which constantly killed my life
Destroyed by the noise
Buried under a ton of rock
Stupid, stupid , why did you sell your life?
This Company which told you
That you were doing it for your country
That gold would become your friend
This gold that was once dear to you
Has become very lonely, like your bosses who lied to you
Dozing in a light of dust
Buried in a rock hole
You idiot, idiot, why did you sell your life?
Oh..., to work too hard
Oh..., to put in so much effort
br/>Oh..., to forget your fate
Oh..., for the benefit of the Company
I worked far too long
For an insignificant salary
I wanted to go outside
If I would have stayed shorter
I would surely have gotten out alive
And I wouldn't have known as much the heart
But now it's all over
And me too, because I've grown old
You idiot, idiot, why did you sell your life?
Oh. .., to work too hard
Oh..., to put in so much effort
Oh..., to forget your fate
Oh..., for the benefit of the Company
br/>A sacrificed existence
A neglected family
You idiot, idiot, why did you hang your life?
