Nearly all of Rammstein's lyrics are in German. However, the band did record English versions of "Engel" , "Du hast" and "Amerika", as well as covers of the songs "Stripped" and "Pet Sematary". In addition, the songs "Amerika" (German version), "Stirb nicht vor mir//Don't die before I do" and "Moskau" contain not only German verses, but also English and Russian choruses, respectively; "Te quiero puta!" is entirely in Spanish. The song "Mein Teil" features one line in English: "Yes It's Mein Teil". "Ollie" Riedel commented that "German language suits heavy metal music. French might be the language of love, but German is the language of anger." (Sunday Herald Sun, Melbourne, Australia, October 24, 2004).

Wordplay is a fundamental component of Rammstein's lyrics. In many instances, the lyrics are phrased such that they can be interpreted in several ways. The song "Du hast", for example, is a play on German marriage vows ("Willst du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?"). In the song, the traditional affirmative response "ja" is replaced by its negation "nein". The song starts, in fact, with a play on words: "Du... Du hast... Du hast mich..." meaning, "You have me" or "You hate me". (The second person singular ("du") forms of the words "hassen" (to hate) and "haben" (to have) are homophones). The ambiguity is later resolved as the line is completed: "Du hast mich gefragt" ("You [have] asked me").
