This is a list of all Rammstein songs with links to their lyrics with English translations.
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”).
@SOMEONE
I meant the main 11 tracks on their official albums. And after recounting, there are actually 6, I overlooked nebel.
And if you wanted to include all the songs available, in addition to the ones you said you could add Feuerräder (Blutige Risse) and Das Model. And if you’re really wanting to get specific you could add Gib mir Augen.

When I really do have some time I might be able to help. I have a busy schedule though. If there’s a song you really must have, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
BTW, we went to the last American concert last Friday in Houston. I truly do not have the words to describe it. Awesme, fantastic, not from this world, cool, best ever etc. are nothing but understatements.
It is true what they say: “Where others play, Rammstein burns.” Literally.
Hey Rammstein fans! I would like to see ‘Siren’ and ‘Eisenmann’
lyrics here. =)
Thanks!

I believe the same about the meaning of the songs.
I would be very happy if I have someone who I can talk about the lyrics and their meanings. I transalted all of the songs to Hungarian.
Please share your translations here:

I see there is a lot of confusion with the lyrics to Feuer Frei. Most will know that Rammstein’s lyrics are open to interpretation. The literal translation is Fire Free. Meaning fire at will or open fire as in shooting a gun. As to the interpretive part of this song. In this case it has a sexual meaning, as you may take from the rest of the lyrics. Feuer Frei here means, or can mean actually two things. One is playing with actual fire during S&M play, the other simply meaning coming to an orgasm (male). I am shooting (cumming), get it?
Reading through the lyrics my interpretation is the first one (getadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt (reprimand (criticize works too) those who know pain, from fire that burns the skin) only then to turn getadelt into geadelt in the second verse (geadelt means to honor, or to dignify) geadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt, vom Feuer das in Lust verbrennt (honor those who know pain, from fire that burns (up) in Lust (or desire), ein Funkenstoss, in ihren Schoss (a sparkling thrust, in her womb (or lap), ein heisser Schrei (a hot scream (or cry)).
Anyhow, I am not saying my translation (interpretation) is the only correct one. You may translate word for word, but in order to get the meaning you would have to interpret, which is always up to your own interpretation of the text. As such you need to look at the whole context of the song. Du Hast (btw) is one of the best songs ever regarding word play. As a native German speaker I truly enjoy the misdirection in the beginning. Exceptionally well done and a true testament to Till’s command of word play. If you have any other questions let me know. I do believe it’s important to understand the meaning of Rammstein’s lyrics, especially since they’re probably the most misunderstood band on the planet.
Rammstein will be in the U.S. in 2012! I’ll be seeing them in Cleveland May 3rd.
Don’t forget Eisenmann and Sirene.
schwarzes glas is under Lyrics of other releases
it should look like (this is just showing the song, and the ones directly above and below it):
0. Kokain – Cocaine
0. Schwarzes Glass – Black glass
0. Stripped – Stripped
I was wondering.. Is ‘Eisenmann’ a Rammstein song?
