I don't know why, but especially this take really reminds me of a song in my native Danish, about an old man working to pave roads the old fashion way, smashing rocks into smaller bits to use, weathering terrible wind and cold, until his body gives out.

When you start out in the West, whether an immigrant worker, or the son or daughter of a worker, and the only capital you have is your body, if you’re like me it will be spent too soon; your gains too few to square it.
