Rammstein lyrics in english

I made this site for my english speaking visitors and Rammstein fans.

Did you ever want to know what Till Lindemann is singing about? Here you have the chance to find out.

My goal was not to be literal but to translate them to make sense. But that also means, that it doesn‘t always rhyme. That‘s due to the fact, that the german syntax is different to the english. And of course the translated words very often don‘t rhyme at all.

Please keep in mind, that Rammstein‘s lyrics are often drawn by allegorical language. That makes it sometimes hard to translate them in a senseable way.

I also allow myself to give you a short comment and personal interpretation of what I think they mean.

The rights of all songs belong to the german band Rammstein, consisting of Till Lindemann (vocals), Richard Kruspe (guitar, background vocals), Paul Landers (guitar, background vocals), Oliver Riedel (bass), Christoph "Doom" Schneider (drums, percussion) and Christian "Flake" Lorenz (keyboard, synthesizer, piano)

Buy their music! It's good! 😃


Pussy

From The Album: Liebe ist für alle da (Love is there for everybody)

This song is just about quick sex. Plain and simple.

Too big, too small
Size does matter after all
Too big, too small
It could be a little bigger
Mercedes Benz and highway
Travel alone to a foreign country

Travel, travel, driving pleasure
I just wan‘t fun, don‘t fall in love

Just a little bit
Just a little bit
You got a pussy
I have a dick
So what‘s the problem
Let‘s do it quick

So take me now before it‘s too late
Life‘s to short, so I can‘t wait
Take me now, oh don‘t you see
I can‘t get late in Germany

Too short, too tall
Doesn‘t matter, one size fits all
Too big, too small
The tollgate should be upright

Beautiful miss, do you wan‘t more?
Blitzkrieg with the „meat rifle“
Liquor in your head, you lovely chick
Stick Bratwurst in your Sauerkraut

Just a little bit
Be my little bitch

You got a pussy
I have a dick
So what‘s the problem
Let‘s do it quick
So take me now before it‘s too late
Life‘s too short, so I can‘t wait
Take me now, oh don‘t you see
I can‘t get late in Germany

Germany
Germany

You got a pussy
I have a dick
So what‘s the problem
Let`s do it quick

You got a pussy
I have a dick
So what‘s the problem
Let`s do it quick

You got a pussy
I have a dick
So what‘s the problem
Let`s do it quick

So take me now before it‘s too late
Life‘s too short, so I can‘t wait
Take me now, oh don‘t you see
I can‘t get late in Germany

Wiener Blut (Viennese Blood)

From The Album: Liebe ist für alle da (Love is there for everybody)

This song refers to the so called Fritzl case that emerged in 2008. Josef Fritzl held his daughter captive in his basement for 24 years where he sexually abused, raped and assaulted her. This also resulted in many children that he fathered with his own flesh and blood. For further details see Wikipedia.

Come with me, come to my castle
There is fun waiting in the basement
Quiet, quiet is what we want to be
Free the moment from time
Yes, the paradise lies beneith the house
The door closes, the lights go out

Are you ready?
Are you steady?
Welcome to the darkness
In the darkness

No one can disturb down here
Nobody, nobody should hear us
No, no one will spot us
We enjoy life
And if you‘re sometimes lonely
I will make you a sister
The skin so young, the flesh so firm
Beneith the house, a love nest

Are you ready?
Are you steady?
Welcome to the darkness
In the darkness

In the darkness
In the lonelyness
In the sadness
For eternity
Welcome to reality

And if you walk trough the valley of the shadow of death
Are you ready?
And if your existance is without light
Are you steady?
Fear no evil, no torment
Get ready!
I'm with you and hold you tight
In the darkness

Mann gegen Mann (Man agaynst Man)

From the album: Rosenrot (rose red)

The title is missleading in english, because it should literally say Head to Head. But in this case it‘s ambiguous. You‘ll know what I mean...

If you ask me, it‘s about gay men and the homophobia they often suffer from.

Fate smiled at me
And gave me a present
Threw me on a poofy star
Close to the skin
Far from the eye
I take my fate to my own hands
My desire is manned

Where freshwater is dying
Because it's spoiled by salt
The little prince is on my mind
A king without a queen
If a woman gets lost in me
The whole world is confused

(Man agaynst Man)
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
(Man agaynst Man)
People of the same kind stick together
(Man agaynst Man)
I'm the servant of two masters
(Man agaynst Man)
People of the same kind stick together

I'm the corner of all rooms
I'm the shadow of all trees
No link is missing in my chain
If lust comes from behind
My sex scolds me traitor
I'm the nightmare of all fathers

(Man agaynst Man)
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
(Man agaynst Man)
People of the same kind stick together
(Man agaynst Man)
But sometimes my heart freezes
(Man agaynst Man)
Cold tongues that hit me

Cold tongues that hit me
Faggot!!
Aaaah!!
Faggot!!
Aaaah!!

I'm not interested in balance
The sun shines on my face
But my heart sometimes freezes
Cold tongues that hit me

Faggot!!
(Man agaynst Man)
Faggot!!
(Man agaynst Man)
Faggot!!
(Man agaynst Man)
Faggot!!

(Man agaynst Man agaynst Man)
