Have you been aimlessly digging 
holes every day like I told you to?
أكنت تحفر بلا معنى يوميّاً كما أُمرت؟
Hast du etwa jeden Tag nur Löcher ausgehoben,
wie ich es dir befohlen hatte?
¿Has cavado agujeros sin pensar
todos los días como te dije?
¿Has cavado agujeros sin pensar
todos los días como te dije?
Tu t’es contenté de creuser bêtement,
comme on te l’a demandé ?
Non hai scavato buche senza scopo
ogni giorno, come ti avevo detto di fare?
Você continuou abrindo buracos
sem parar como eu disse?
Бесцельно копал ямы изо дня
 в день, как я просил?
