Buy Rammstein song “Mann gegen Mann” on Amazon
| Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht | Destiny smiled on me |
| und mir ein Geschenk gemacht | and gave me a present |
| Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern | Threw me on a warm star |
| Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern | So close to the skin, so far from the eye |
| Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand | I take my destiny in my own hands |
| Mein Verlangen ist bemannt | My desire is manned |
| Wo das süße Wasser stirbt | Where the fresh water dies |
| weil es sich im Salz verdirbt | because it taints itself in salt |
| trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn | I keep the Little Prince in mind |
| Ein König ohne Königin | A king without a queen |
| Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt | When a woman is mistaken about me |
| dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt | then the bright world is confused |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Meine Haut gehört den Herren | My skin belongs to the gentlemen |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern | Birds of a feather flock together |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren | I am the servant of two masters |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern | Birds of a feather flock together |
| Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume | I am the corner of all rooms |
| Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume | I am the shadow of all trees |
| In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied | No link is missing in my chain |
| wenn die Lust von hinten zieht | when lust pulls from behind |
| Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter | My sex calls me a traitor |
| Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter | I am the nightmare of all fathers |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Meine Haut gehört den Herren | My skin belongs to the gentlemen |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern | Birds of a feather flock together |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen | But my heart freezes on some days |
| Mann gegen Mann | Man against man |
| Kalte Zungen die da schlagen | Cold tongues that beat there |
| Schwulah | Faggot! |
| Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht | I’m not interested in balance |
| Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht | The sun shines in my face |
| Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen | But my heart freezes on some days |
| Kalte Zungen die da schlagen | Cold tongues that beat there |
| Schwulah | Faggot! |
| Mann gaygen Mann | Man gay for man |
“Mann gegen Mann” (Man against man) is a song about the benefits of homosexuality, however all band members are heterosexual. The song is simply about the subject of homosexuality and seems to avoid taking sides. This song is the third single from Rosenrot. Till repeatedly screams “Schwuler” (sung as “Schwulah”, concatenating an “ah” suffix equivalent to a scream “Aaahh!” In English it would be something like saying,”Playa’.”) in the background, which is a derogatory German equivalent to the English word “faggot”.
Its not “against” homosexuality, per se, but probably a deeper understanding of the inner torment that homosexuality brings upon gay people. Social as well as personal pressure creates a divided “secret” side that struggles with the self. Notice the “anguish/anger” (then again, it IS Till!) in his expressions…and don’t forget the demon…
yeah i got it,but if u know,lots of rammstein songs are confusing,like this! and i say they just put across about something.in this song about gay or homophobia as u said.
i think lots of rammstein songs are like this,PUT ACROSS ABOUT SOMETHING! :d
tnx for UR answer rammsteinskyes,anyway…:d
love this song..rammstein fuggen kicks ass!!
How can you say they are against homosexuality because of one word, when the entire song is about being gay?
e.g. “I love being gay I love it It’s pretty cool, faggot, I love it.”
Maybe a bit extreme, but you get the point. Also, have you seen the video? Nobody against homosexuality would even dare to glance at it much less star in it. lol
HAHAHAHA oh i know right? this debate would be over if some people just watched the MV hahahaha
how can i be more c;ear !!! This song is AGAINST people who hate gays…AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA. If you don’t understand that…I can’t help 🙂
i really dont know what are u saying RAmmskyes
Some of you are horrible fans xD
This song is about the life of a gay man, and it’s against homophobia…
Neon, if you know/knew Rammstein at all or even just a little bit, you would know you are wrong man…
RAMMSTEIN = LIVE AND LET LIVE
yeah i think it is compeletly against homosexuality (gay & lesbian) because it says : schwulah! aaaaaaaah!
I seen the music video. It’s pretty smexy XD remember kiddies, it’s only gay if you make eye contact with the other man! Only Rammstein has the balls to make a video like that
i think this song was written against to gays
by the way schwul means fag
you can get song’s mean from this word
Yeah, this song has no ambiguities when it comes to the benefits of homosexuality. As said before, Rammstein doesn’t seem to take sides on the matter, they’re just commentating.
where are the benefits?!?!?!?!
““Mann gegen Mann” (Man against man) is a song about the benefits of homosexuality”
Faggot? Schwulah means gay-Ah!
“when lust pulls from behind” He he 🙂
Only R+ would have the balls to write a song like this, and even more so, shoot a video like this !!! I’m a HUGE RAMMSTEIN Fan and the video is a bit too much even for me. You have to know that R+ are all about shocking and pushing back the line.
