Sitting side-by-side, waiting eagerly
Laying on the sand and facing the sea
Hand-in-hand we’ll stay until the sunset
It’s a night for sure we’ll never forget
For the sea-turtles this is the right time
For millions of years, the same ritual
Starlight or moonlight nothing will stop them
After a long trip, they come back to the fold
Ohhh yeah they come back to the fold
Ohhh yeah they come back to the fold
Dig, dig, dig, big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
Make your nest with your hind legs
Bury, hide your precious eggs
Dig, dig, dig, my big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
In a few weeks it will be time
Time to dig another one
Millions of years for you, thousand of years for us
You have been there for ages. You disappear away
It’s a race you could have, could have easily won
But the dice are loaded, but the dice are loaded
Dig, dig, dig, big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
Make your nest with your hind legs
Bury, hide your precious eggs
Dig, dig, dig, my big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
In a few weeks it will be time
Time to dig another one
Dig, dig, dig, big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
Make your nest with your hind legs
Bury, hide your precious eggs
Dig, dig, dig, my big turtle
Dig that hole and forget the moon
In a few weeks it will be time
Time to dig another one
