The reason he sings about how the gold turned to sand is he his friend exchanged all the gold they found during the gold rush for paper bills that turned out to be counterfeited.
Actually when the character sings this he doesn't even know yet that the money is fake. I don't think he finds out for at least another day, and at this moment he is happy to at least have been able to provide for his brother's family. This song is all about his grief and guilt for Arvid.
❤ Peter is one of your greaters singer here in Sweden, so happy you found him 😂
As a side note here, Peter did the Swedish speaking and singing voice for the Swedish version of Aladdin.
Loved your reaction 😍❤️❤️
Thank you!! 😁

Wow, that is heartbreaking 😢
His friend died from poisoned water in the desert.

Also, what triggers this song is Kristina asking him if it's Arvid's watch he is holding. Hence the mentioning of a watch in the song.
