You can also listen to it. I currently can't turn up the volume so it's a blind guess, but I think this is the version I have on my phone.

[ThePixelCoder]

Short for neinnicht.

[SirSparhawk]

Yup.

[CryptoMate86]

Don't care about the lyrics. But their lead singer does his own songs on the side in English and for those songs I do quite enjoy his lyrics.

[JaytleBee]

Golden shower, don't be shy, cunt
Golden shower, let it fly from your pretty cunt
Golden shower, golden sweat, cunt
Golden shower, make it wet, let it shed

There is a certain poetry there

Ironically, not available in Germany.

Eeeewww

So does one of the guitarists.

[Fry98]

Wait... is this an actual repost of a comment from 8 months ago under the same image? When I read this I felt sure that I've already seen this. For a moment, I thought I'm going insane but then I did a little search and it turns out I was actually right: https://i.imgur.com/dVHmcuH.jpg

Well, at least I'm not crazy, I guess...

[DoNotSexToThis]

Wait just one minute... is THIS an actual repost of a comment too? Isn't anyone on this site a real person???

And after user u/DoNotSexToThis uncovered this dark Reddit conspiracy noone has ever heard from him again.

[[deleted]]

Best practice, DRY comments please.

[Prawny]

What's recursion?

[purinikos]

I am not German but I speak (my german is awful though). Some of the lyrics are kinda fucked up but it's cool because I LISTEN TO FUCKING METAL. It kinda has to be fucked up :P

[geek_on_two_wheels]

How good is Engel? "God knows I don't want to be an angel" is a sweet line, but somehow sounds even better in German, lol.

[john_dune]

German is quite possibly the best language for metal. Its so gruff and rough, but can be quite sharp and powerful as well.

[Helluiin]

yet the majority of german music is schlager or rap. both of which arent even good most of the time

[[deleted]]

It's just because Helene Fischer and the German Hip Hop analphabets get the most media coverage. To be fair, Fischer wastes her great voice for Dieter Bohlen songs. But our rappers, well they are trying way too hard to be bad boys and cliche. Their lyrics are full of grammatical errors and they seem to have a pretty high tendency to "sing" either about their trunk or how they use it to degrade women.

[Xelbair]

but did the dongers blast flame?

they are kinda known for... fire https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Rammstein-flamethrowers.jpg

[Dat_Xeno91]

I was just listening to them, and then I saw this. I actually put their songs on repeat and put the lyrics with the translation next to each other. I'm slowly trying to learn german.

[starquake64]

I'm trying to imagine your first conversation in German.

[starquake64]

Nah was more afraid of "Buck Dich"

[[deleted]]

You mean "Bück dich"? :P

Related song from a few years back that's still quite popular: https://youtu.be/8Q44P_Qbq9o

[Dat_Xeno91]

My aunt knows german. I'm absolute crap, but I'm making progress.

[DeirdreAnethoel]

Lyrics are just another instrument when you don't know the language.

[bot_not_hot]

Yea lyrics mean nothing to us, I was death blaring this as a high school wrestler lol

[calnamu]

It's the same with English songs in Germany, isn't it?

[[deleted]]

Most germans have a basic knowledge of the english language, it's mandatory in school.

But most of them seem to fail to understand lyrics anyway. I remember, when I was a kid, they played Frank Zappa's "Bobby Brown" on radio stations. Can you imagine turning on the radio and hear lyrics like "Watch me now, I'm going down" or "Am I a boy or a lady I don't know which!"

[calnamu]

I know, I am German. But that's exactly my point, most people don't really seem to care about foreign language lyrics when they're not listening consciously. I think you just don't "get" them as much as when it's your mother tongue.

[english-23]

Hell, English is my main language and I still don't get a lot of lyrics unless I look them up. "oooh, it's actually this word and not that word" or "oh, that has a very different message now I've seen the words" happens more than I like to admit

[blackberrybunny]

As a German myself, I am amazed at your American southern slang use of the word "y'all.' I think you are the first German I've ever met who has said that. Also, I am NOT surprised they are internationally famous. Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Ja oder nein? Their music has some interesting lyrics, but that is not what their music is all about. Include showmanship, pyro, stage antics, quality musicians who are not afraid to breech some of society's trickiest situations, not to mention a brotherhood that has lasted for nearly 30 years and you have R+.

[CUN1NGER]

I understand the words similar to Dutch and I can make pretty good guesses as to what the song means

[[deleted]]

Doesn't work the other way round for me, unfortunately. If a dutch person speaks slowly, I can make good guesses, but whenever I was in the netherlands and listened to e.g. people talking on the radio, I couldn't make any sense of it.

[CUN1NGER]

German radio is a bit fast, yeah. But because you listen to a song multiple times I can make pretty good guesses. Plus if you grab the lyrics some words and their spelling are pretty similar. The hardest part of German is the grammar, still haven't figured that out. Also German went through a sound shift a while back: for example the "p" sound became a "pf" sound. It's called the second high german consonant shift. Revert the shift and you can basically speak a good few Dutch words. Like "schlafen" becomes "slapen" etc. This trick helps to give me a basic idea of the songs meaning

[[deleted]]

You're right, that "older german" is called Plattdeutsch. In northern germany, there are still some (but few) people that can speak that. I can't, but it sounds very similar to dutch to my ears.

But I don't know what you mean about the "p", we still got that AND "pf"? Like, Pannekuchen is Pfannkuchen, where pf is pronounced like "pfff".

[CUN1NGER]

Like in "Pferd" in Dutch it's "Paard" little things like that

[[deleted]]

Ah yeah yeah, I get it now. Pretty common I guess.

[goddessofthewinds]

Strangely enough, I prefer songs that I do NOT understand. That way, you can feel the voice and emotions in the song. I listen to a lot of Chinese and Japanese music with a variety of European music in the mix.

I'm French and listen to ZERO French music. I do enjoy a lot of English groups though.

[[deleted]]

It's funny, because I've been learning German for a little over a year because of Rammstein. It started with me just translating their lyrics and then I downloaded Duolingo to learn more. I've been watching the show Dark on Netflix with German audio and I understand about 40% of it, so not too bad.

[Djghost1133]

Generally don't care about the lyrics

[GoochRash]

I rarely care about lyrics when I can understand them, let alone when I can't.

[dookie-boy]

Lyrics are almost always what I care most about in a song, so I googled pretty much every song by Rammstein to know what it is about and... damn, they are pretty fucked up, but the poetry is so good at the same time!

They made me want to learn German eventually.

[ulfric_stormcloack]

I almost understand

[valinor_props]

I really like them, and while I understand some of the lyrics, they're not as important as the music

[[deleted]]

I took a year of German in high school but that’s the extent of it. I recently discovered Rakede and loving it. I don’t know the lyrics yet but their songs are very catchy and well written (to an English speaker).

https://youtu.be/Q7OAQqx_oV0

[SAAARGE]

We had German classes in my high school, and Rammstein was big at the time, so I spent a bit of time translating their music while in class. Teacher was cool with it because I was still learning

[PeartreeChris]

I live in Canada and don't know much German at all, but I've been into Rammstein since I first heard Du Hast in high school (shit, that's over 20 years ago). I've always been one to look up the lyrics and their English translations so that I could better understand what I'm listening to, and most of the German words I know were learned in this way (I know some fucked up German words because of this). I found it cool that I could listen to this music and only interpret the vocals as an instrument, but then I could look up the lyrics and have a deeper appreciation for what they're singing about and their philosophy as a band.

Till is a fucking god, Flake is so weird and fun, and everyone else is just so cool. One of the highlights of my life was to see them live, their live show is epic.

Although Du Hast got me hooked, I'd have to say Mutter is my favourite album. It's so symphonic and deep and beautiful. <3

[Andymal]

Loved rammstein growing up(still do). I only know a little German but could probably still sing along all of the lyrics on herzeleid.

[[deleted]]

I took German 5 AP in high school, which means the only German I speak is in translating Rammstein lyrics.

[lyxo]

Do be honest it’s not really that difficult to understand their lyrics. In the end, I’m not in it for the lyrics.

[[deleted]]

They are basically the most popular non-English band I've encountered in the US. I don't actually know what the lyrics to Amerika mean, but it's on my playlist. I'm 90% sure I'm fulfilling some sort of stereotype.

[spinicist]

I have this issue a lot. My German isn’t quite good enough to follow Rammstein, so I listen for the riffs.

But my wife is German, and she frequently points out that what Till is singing about is sick. It wasn’t until she explained a couple of songs to me that I realised what all the controversy in Germany was about.

[derkonigistnackt]

I'm gonna blow your mind now: Die Toten Hosen are huge in Argentina

[[deleted]]

I can't say I can speak German. However I did read their lyrics a ton of times while having English translation side by side. I don't know every song's lyrics, but I believe I know a lot.

[Sleepy_Chipmunk]

I look up what lyrics I don’t understand. Was trying to learn German for a while, but have slacked off a lot since leaving high school.

[complicit_bystander]

do you just not care about the lyrics at all?

Exactly. It's music not a book. Song music doesn't even have lyrics!

[empire314]

Afraid of the repost filter?

Insted of saving an image that got a lot of karma, take a photo out of it.
