Rammstein Frühling in Paris lyrics with English translation

I like how this translation make me think that “it was Only her language I didn’t understand” but he knew them moans and kisses and that body was meant for. how to just let instinct take over.

I believe this song is about having sex for the 1st time. When someone is about to lose their virginity, they often feel insecure and awkward (“hab’ mich geniert”) because they don’t know how to proceed. Till sings from the perspective of a man who remembers the day he lost his virginity when he was a young innocent boy (“ich war so jung”). He was in love with a girl who liked him and wanted to experiment with him(“Sie rief mir Worte ins Gesicht, die Zunge lustgesträubt”), and the boy didn’t know much about sex (“verstand nur ihre Sprache nicht”) but in the end he liked it and doesn’t regret trying (“ich hab’ es nicht bereut”). I also assume that this girl was also a virgin because of “Lichtkleid” that shows some kind of angelic innocence and also because of the lyrics:”Wenn ich ihre Haut verließ,der Frühling blutet in Paris” which could mean that she bled when he removed his penis, because female genitalia is often resembled to a flower and that could be a metaphor for Frühling (Spring).

With regard to the word “lichtkleid” in the 1st verse, it’s a (German) biblical reference to Eva/Eve wearing a “dress of light”, i.e. having no need for clothes and thus appearing naked. I can’t say if it’s descriptive or a metaphor, but both works.

I`m trying to learn German, and with Rammstein I can learn more than language…

Oh, while i was listening this song a bit ago, i wondered its lyrics and like.. damn.. they’re exactly telling about me and her.. except Paris.
Our languages and nations are different, far from each other. She is Czech and i am Turk, so our love didn’t meant to be, maybe it could have been if i was living in there. And just like the lyrics, i don’t understand her language which hits hard…

“It was only her language I didn’t understand
I didn’t regret it

Oh no, there’s nothing at all**
Oh no, I regret nothing**”

Thank you for this most helpful translation. Let me contribute with the French part. “Rien de rien” and the rest comes from a French classic by Edith Piath, “Je ne regrette rien.” So “Oh, no, rien de rien…” means “Oh, no, anything at all. I don’t regret anything at all.”

Am I the only one who when they listen to this thinks immediately of that scene in “All Quiet on the Western Front” where Baümer and his compatriots are resting behind the lines in France and they decide to pay a visit to some of the local girls?

I mean it really fits, this is one of Baümer’s first real sexual encounter and he’s utterly intoxicated by this girl. He can hardly understand a word she says as he speaks only German and she only French, yet he feels a connection he mistakes for love. She helps him to know his own body and forget his pain. When he “leaves her skin” he must go back, back to the blood and gore in the trenches of France. He loved her yet she (though she was not a bonafide whore) used him for the sex and the rations he brought and that cut as deep as any knife.

I think it’s a song… There, that’s all I’ve to say on the subject, it’s a song in all it’s glory and beauty, I could enjoy it knowing what it meant or not.
