Rammstein Amerika lyrics with English translation

Buy Rammstein song “Amerika” on Amazon

We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika ist wunderbar America is wonderful
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America
 
Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen When there’s dancing I want to lead
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht even if you’re whirling around alone
Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren Let yourselves be controlled a little
Ich zeige euch wie es richtig geht I’ll show you how it really goes
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen We’re making a nice round dance
Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen Freedom is playing on all violins
Musik kommt aus dem Weissen Haus Music is coming out of the White House
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris
 
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika ist wunderbar America is wonderful
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America
 
Ich kenne Schritte die sehr nützen I know moves that are very useful
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen and I will protect you from missteps
Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss And whoever doesn’t want to dance at the end
weiss noch nicht dass er tanzen muss doesn’t know yet that they must
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen We’re making a nice round dance
Ich werde euch die Richtung zeigen I will show you the way
Nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus Santa Claus is coming to Africa
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris
 
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika ist wunderbar America is wonderful
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America
 
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America
 
This is not a love song This is not a love song
This is not a love song This is not a love song
I don’t sing my mother tongue I don’t sing my mother tongue
No, this is not a love song No, This is not a love song
 
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika ist wunderbar America is wonderful
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America
 
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Coca-Cola, sometimes war Coca-Cola, sometimes war
We’re all living in Amerika We’re all living in America
Amerika, Amerika America, America

“Amerika” was the second single released from Reise, Reise. It deals with the worldwide dominance of the culture of the United States. It is sung largely in German with a chorus partly in English: We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika. It has received mixed reviews: some perceive it as anti-American, others as being opposed to globalization. The band views it as a satirical commentary on Cocacolonization.

 

The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the Moon with shots of other cultures acting like Americans. The end of the video shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon set in a studio, complete with film crew, a reference to the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. Till Lindemann, Rammstein’s lead singer, wears a space suit with the name “Armstrong” on it – a reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon.

  1. If America sucks so bad, why is everyone trying to immigrate over here? You don't see scores of illegals trying to sneak into Cambodia do you?

    I'll grant America is far from perfect, but it sure has hell is better than a lot of other countries out there.

    I don't shove Nazism down Germanys throat. America has plenty of history we are not proud of.

    • I agree with WhoCares too. I really do LOVE my homeland.

      We are just messed up right now. Although I didn’t vote for our newest President, I am full of hope he will be making a BIG difference in how we are viewed by the rest of the world.

      I know someone who is trying to come here from Holland. He is the one that told me about the "Lottery".

      WhoCares you are right. Everyone seems to be trying to come HERE. But one thing I can say from being a witness to it… I have seen some of those that DO get the chance to come here, HATE being here, and tend to put down Americans every chance they get.

      I have been called a "stupid f*cking American" many times, by people here on a visa that they have to go home to renew every so often…

      I have been to Canada and Mexico quite a few times as part of my job. NOT ONCE have I ever put down the people of those countries to their faces or otherwise.

      America is a melting pot of different cultures, but I have seen others come here and disrespect the land and the people. that’s just plain RUDE.

      If you do come here, PLEASE show a little bit of respect for our home just as any GUEST should.

      I do not expect anyone to kiss our A$$es… But, I think a little respect is in order here.

      The American people are not their Government. YES, we do elect them. But, they are Politicians… Not the everyday people.

      By the way… I don’t see a Lottery here that offers citizenship to any other country…

      Our Lotteries win us money to spend… Usually on trips to visit other countries to absorb the culture and see the beauty the world has to offer.

      Enjoy the MUSIC.

      Peace…

  2. You people are so fucking pathetic.

    -Not all Germans are Nazis so shut up about that shit.

    -America isn't the Saint country we try to front, but I'd like to see the rest of the world survive without it.

    -Realize that when America's economy sucks, the rest of the world's sucks too.

    -If you hate it here so much, fucking leave. I'm sick of hearing you people bitch when you have been given so much. Anywhere you go there will always be shit. Go somewhere else in the world and say these things about that country. They won't think twice about blowing your ignorant, ungrateful head off.

    -I don't agree with the vast majority of things that go on in this country, especially as of late. But shit, I respect it. They've kept me safe, given me the opportunity to go to school, to have a career, be able to say whatever the fuck I want, and guaranteed that WE don't wind up with our own dictatorship.

    -And most importantly: Shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music.

    • NochEinLetztesMal said it right… shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music!!!

      I am at least one American that can say I have an open mind. I dont fall for the brainwashing propaganda spewed out by the government controlled media.

      Americans are woefully uninformed. Until I started talking to someone from Holland, I had no clue that there WAS a visa lottery to get onto the US… I was appalled!

      Please do not let the fable of the "American dream" lure you into a place that is losing hope of survival. As much as I LOVE my homeland, I am quite aware of our flaws. Most Americans are taught from the cradle that if you do not speak english you are either deaf or stupid.

      I only speak english (if you can call it that), I have tried to learn other languages, but have no talent for it. Anyone the speaks more than one language amazes me.

      We do have a wonderful, beautiful country here, but the people of this country take all that it is for granted.

      Just like someone you love, if you take them for granted, they will be gone. Americans are losing America… and we deserve it!!!

      Some say the founding beliefs are being lost…. I say let any belief that destroys others should go down.

      Some think we live in a democracy… WE DO NOT!!! Get a dictionary… look up the definition of democracy…. Americans are brainwashed into believing we are a democracy…. we throw the word around so much it has no meaning any more.

      Americans are arrogant in their false security, and false superiority.

      PLEASE enjoy the music while we are still allowed to.

      It may be the only thing we will have in our hearts to sustain us in the future.

      Peace out yo!!!

      Kathy.

  3. Just because people are German, doesnt mean they are Nazis, but the German's HAVE taken responsibility for World war two. So we should all forgive them. They killed my father and both my Grandfather's in Dieppe. If ANYONE should be mad at them for being Nazis, It should be me, or someone whos Parents or grandparents died in World war two. So I don't know why you have so much hate against Germany. They did nothing wrong, They were led falsly by an idol elected in the Deppression, is there anything wrong with that? So everyone should just back off.

  4. I don’t hate the U.S.A . But I hate the people who dont respect others peoples opinion, dosent matter if its wrong or right, respect stands at the main point of values and rights, so if you dont respect then you are nothing, not in life ,not in this world, not in this dimencion not even in time. you can only disrespect dose who do it also.

    I never tolerate disrespect not even at the least or minimum rate.

    I do not hate any contry land or island, I love Nacionalizim because it mean “love for you’r contry” and in Puerto Rico thats wat stands up alot!

    Long will live wat war cant solve.

    • to Spielmann u can go fuck urself and to rammstein fan Fuck you we will shove the swaztika up ur ass like we did in world war2 and anybody thats french FUCK YOU because we saved ur ass in ww2 and veitnam and u tret us like shit im gunna make a time machine so u guys will all be germans

  5. I think it’s safe to say that no matter where we are from we are all on this site for one reason: Rammstein kicks ass!!

  6. To all of you America haters posting here, “Fuck You” is the magic word.
