Oldschoolway's blog: "Rammstein Lyrics in English"

Whoever does good will be forgiven Therefore be good in all your journeys Then you'll soon have visitors We'll come with the song book We were born for music We are the servants of your ears Whenever you're sad We play for you If you live without sin And give each other a hand If you don't squint into the sun a song will be played for you We are the servants of your ears We were born for music Whenever you're sad we play for you Whenever you can't sleep May you be treated to a song And heaven cracks A song falls softly from the light of heaven We were born for music We are the servants of your ears Whenever you're sad We play for you

It's beautiful when she swims the breaststroke Then I can see into her core Not that the breast is what's beautiful I just swim after her Sparking dust flows from the center A firework shoots from her crotch Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water Burned in the water It's beautiful when she swims naked then I want to see her from behind Not that the breasts are attractive Her legs open like scissors Then from its hiding place, the flame glows hotly from her thigh-angle [1] She swims past and doesn't notice me I am her shadow, she stands in the light There is no hope and no confidence Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water Like this, the blood boils in my loins I grab her with wet hands Smooth as a fish and cold as ice She won't waste herself on me I know Fire and water never come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water [1] "Schenkeleck" is a made up word and is supposed to mean the same thing as "crotch". That line in German: Dann leuchtet heiß aus dem Versteck die Flamme aus dem Schenkeleck

A girl saw a little rose It bloomed there in bright heights She asked her sweetheart if he could fetch it for her She wants it and that's fine So it was and so it will always be She wants it and that's the custom Whatever she wants she gets Deep wells must be dug if you want clear water Rose-red, oh Rose-red Deep waters don't run still The boy climbs the mountain in torment He doesn't really care about the view Only the little rose is on his mind He brings it to his sweetheart She wants it and that's fine So it was and so it will always be She wants it and that's the custom Whatever she wants she gets Deep wells must be dug if you want clear water Rose-red, oh Rose-red Deep waters don't run still At his boots, a stone breaks Doesn't want to be on the cliff anymore And a scream lets everyone know Both are falling to the ground She wants it and that's fine So it was and so it will always be She wants it and that's the custom Whatever she wants she gets Deep wells must be dug if you want clear water Rose-red, oh Rose-red Deep waters don't run still This song is inspired by and to some extent based upon the poem "Heidenröslein" by Goethe and the story "Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot" from the Brothers Grimm.

The night opens her lap The child's name is loneliness It is cold and motionless I cry softly into time I don't know what your name is But I know that you exist I know that sometime someone will love me He comes to me every night No words are left to say With his hands around my neck I close my eyes and pass away I don't know who he is In my dreams he does exist His passion is a kiss And I can not resist I wait here Don't die before I do I wait here Don't die before I do I don't know who you are I know that you exist Don't die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can't dismiss I wait here All the houses are covered in snow And candle light in the windows They lie there together And I I only wait for you I wait here Don't die before I do I wait here Don't die before I do I don't know who you are I know that you exist Don't die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can't dismiss Don't die before I do

I love you I love you not I love you no more I love you no more or less than you Than you loved me When you still loved me [1] The pretty girls are not pretty The warm hands are so cold All clocks have stopped It's no longer healthy to laugh, and soon I'll look for you behind the light Where are you I don't want to be so alone Where are you The pretty girls are not pretty The warm hands are so cold All clocks have stopped It's no longer healthy to laugh, and soon I look for you behind the light Where are you I don't want to be so alone Where are you I look for you under every stone Where are you I fall asleep with a knife Where are you [1] The first few lines build on each other by adding only a word or two, yet changing the meaning of all the lines said up to this point. It can't really be fully translated.

Love is a wild animal It breathes you it looks for you It nests upon broken hearts and goes hunting when there are kisses and candles It sucks tightly on your lips and digs tunnels through your ribs It drops softly like snow First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts Amour Amour Everyone just wants to tame you Amour Amour in the end caught between your teeth Love is a wild animal It bites and scratches and kicks towards me It holds me tightly with a thousand arms and drags me into its love nest It devours me completely and retches me back out after many years It drops softly like snow First it gets hot then cold in the end it hurts Amour Amour Everyone just wants to tame you Amour Amour in the end caught between your teeth Love is a wild animal You fall into its trap It stares into your eyes Spellbound when its gaze hits you Please please give me poison

I'm going to go into the fir trees There where I last saw her But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest And the forest it is so black and empty Woe is me, oh woe And the birds sing no more Without you I cannot be Without you With you I am alone too Without you Without you I count the hours without you With you the seconds stand still They aren't worth it On the branches in the ditches it's now silent and without life And breathing becomes oh so hard for me Woe is me, oh woe And the birds sing no more Without you I cannot be Without you With you I am alone too Without you Without you I count the hours without you With you the seconds stand still They aren't worth it without you

Now, dear children, pay attention * I am the voice from the pillow I have brought you something I ripped it from my chest With this heart I have the power to blackmail the eyelids I sing until the day awakes a bright light on the heavens my heart burns They come to you in the night demons, ghosts, black fairies they creep out of the cellar shaft and will look under your bedding Now, dear children, pay attention I am the voice from the pillow I have brought you something a bright light on the heavens my heart burns They come to you in the night and steal your small hot tears they wait until the moon awakes and put them in my cold veins Now, dear children, pay attention I am the voice from the pillow I sing until the day awakes a bright light on the heavens my heart burns My heart burns * Part of this song is actually taken from a children's show called Das Sandmännchen (The Little Sandman).

Wild wine - before your castle wild wine - I am ready Arrival is announced - only for the king God, stand by me - and open your gates wild wine - and totally slow wild wine - so warm and moist Wild wine - before your lap wild wine - it has been written deep in the water - you don't cross but my desire - laughs at the wings wild wine - like a dove wild wine - so wet and hot Wild wine - before this darkness wild wine - healed by the light it stays hidden - otherwise we could defend ourselves I wait for you - at the end of the night wild wine - only a grape wild wine - and bitter like snow I wait for you - at the end of the night

They tell me unlock this door curiosity becomes a scream what could be behind it behind this door stands a piano the keys are dusty the strings are out of tune behind this door she sits at the piano but she doesn't play anymore oh, that was so long ago There, at the piano I listened to her and when her performance began I held my breath She said to me I'll always stay with you but it only seemed that she played for me alone I poured her blood into the fire of my rage I locked the door they asked for her There, at the piano I listened to her and when her performance began I held my breath There, at the piano I stood beside her it seemed she played for me alone The door is open oh, how they scream I hear mother pleading father is beating me they take her from the piano and no one believes me here that I am deathly ill from sorrow and the stench There, at the piano I listened to her and when her performance began I held my breath There, at the piano she listened to me and when my performance began she held her breath
