====== Diggy Diggy Hole ====== **//Diggy Diggy Hole//** is a meme song first appeared in 2011 in Minecraft let's play video by YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon YouTube channel . Animation video from 2014 became especially popular. (All links at the bottom of page) Brothers of the mine rejoice! Swing, swing, swing with me Raise your pick and raise your voice! Sing, sing, sing with me Down and down into the deep Who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more Hidden in the mountain store [Verse:] Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home Skin made of iron, steel in our bones To dig and dig makes us free Come on brothers sing with me! [Chorus:] I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole The sunlight will not reach this low Deep, deep in the mine Never seen the blue moon glow Dwarves won't fly so high Fill a glass and down some mead! Stuff your bellies at the feast! Stumble home and fall asleep Dreaming in our mountain keep Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom We do not fear what lies beneath We can never dig too deep [Chorus 2x] [Verse] [Chorus 2x] ===== Nûrlâm translation ===== Obviously, "dwarf" is replaced with "orc" (= "uruk") in translation. Imagine this being sung by orcs of Goblin-town or Moria (which is referenced in original text and animation). Also I allowed myself to replace one occurrence of "diggy, diggy hole" with "pushdug pushdug ronk" to reference Tolkien's [[:orcish_curse|Orc-curse]]. There are few minor errors to match original song's rhythm. make more rhymes or alliteration Honkdab, honkdab gâkh îmgomb! Lûzh, lûzh, lûzh dasha, Tulk fib tamb agh tulk fib mog!
