Buy Rammstein song “Frühling in Paris” on Amazon
| Im Lichtkleid kam sie auf mich zu | In a dress made of light she came up to me |
| ich weiß es noch wie heut’: | I know like it was today* |
| Ich war so jung, | I was so young |
| hab’ mich geniert | Feeling awkward |
| doch hab’ es nie bereut. | But still I never regretted it |
| Sie rief mir Worte ins Gesicht, | She shouted words into my face |
| die Zunge lustgesträubt; | The tongue bristled with lust |
| verstand nur ihre Sprache nicht; | It was only her language I didn’t understand |
| ich hab’ es nicht bereut. | I didn’t regret it |
| Oh non rien de rien | Oh no, there’s nothing at all** |
| Oh non je ne regrette rien | Oh no, I regret nothing** |
| Wenn ich ihre Haut verließ – | When I left her skin |
| der Frühling blutet in Paris. | Spring bleeds in Paris*** |
| Ich kannte meinen Körper nicht | I didn’t know my body |
| den Anblick so gescheut | Too shy to look at it |
| sie hat ihn mir bei Licht gezeigt | She showed it to me in the light |
| ich hab es nie bereut | I’ve never regretted it |
| Die Lippen oft verkauft, doch weich | The lips often sold but soft |
| und ewig sie berühr’n | And touch them eternally |
| Wenn ich ihren Mund verließ | When I left her mouth |
| Dann fing ich an zu frier’n | Then I began to freeze |
| Sie rief mir Worte ins Gesicht, | She shouted words into my face |
| die Zunge lustgesträubt; | The tongue bristled with lust |
| verstand nur ihre Sprache nicht; | It was only her language I didn’t understand |
| ich hab’ es nicht bereut. | I don’t regret it |
| Oh non rien de rien | Oh no, there’s nothing at all** |
| Oh non je ne regrette rien | Oh no, I regret nothing** |
| Wenn ich ihre Haut verließ – | When I left her skin |
| der Frühling blutet in Paris. | Spring bleeds in Paris |
| Ein Flüstern fiel mir in den Schoß | A whisper fell into my lap |
| und führte feinen Klang | And would lead a fine sound |
| hat viel geredet nichts gesagt | Speaking a lot and saying nothing |
| und fühlte sich gut an | And it felt good |
| Sie rief mir Worte ins Gesicht | She shouted words into my face |
| und hat sich tief verbeugt | And took a deep bow |
| verstand nur ihre Sprache nicht; | It was only her language I didn’t understand |
| ich hab’ es nicht bereut. | I don’t regret it |
| Oh non rien de rien | Oh no, there’s nothing at all** |
| Oh non je ne regrette rien | Oh no, I regret nothing** |
| Wenn ich ihre Haut verließ – | When I abandon her skin |
| der Frühling blutet in Paris. | Spring bleeds in Paris |

Translation Notes:
*This is the German version of the English phrase “I remember it like it was yesterday”.
**These lines are originally from the Edith Piaf song “Non, je ne regrette rien” which came out in the 1960s and was (and still is) hugely popular in France.
***Wordplay with the a bit similar sounds of blutet and blühte (flourished)
Here’s one of the Rammstein double meanings that we all adore! “Und ewig sie berühr’n” either means “and they touch eternally” or that her lips were sold many times. The song is either telling us a romantic adventure of his in Paris, or the first time he had a whore.
It’s great either way, my favourite song off LIFAD.
i’m french…..regrette
I believe this song is about a prostitute he fucked in Paris, which he doesn’t regret. “Die Lippen oft verkauft” refers to “Lips that often been bought,” so i don’think it’s a love story. Someone have another oppinion?
My impression is that it’s a song about a guy loosing his virginity to a one night stand in Paris.
It’s a really great song!
but I think there are a few mistakes in the translations. I’m not german, so I’m not 100% sure, but here goes:
verstand nur ihre Sprache nicht = It was only her language I didn’t understand, not “Understanding not only her voice”
Ich kannte meinen Körper nicht = I didn’t know my body (before I met her), not I don’t know my body
sie hat ihn mir bei Licht gezeigt = she showed it (his body) to me in light, not she showed me the light
When i heard it first time, i thought it’s “Der Frühling blühet in Paris”, not “blutet”…hmm hard to imagine bleeding spring.
I definitely like it…der Frühling blu…*singing*
thanx for the replies. Rammsteins lyrics is always so awesome. =)
I think it is a beautiful story. A simple moment in time when two people met and enjoyed each other’s company. Neither is sorry or regrets anything that happenned, and it is forever in their memory.
I guess the connection is that he did something which he doesn’t regret? The song is about a girl, but my German isn’t good enough to translate it whole..Ich habe es nicht bereut means I don’t regret I think, and Fruhling blutet in Paris=the spring bleeds in Paris.
So..what do we make of that?:)
great song, the best so far on the album..
can anyone tell me what it´s about?
waiting for the translation =D

A song with a gentle melody and slight tempo which proves what Till can do with his voice. I love it because it easily wakes up some nice emotions!
