Rammstein Mein Herz brennt lyrics with English translation

Buy Rammstein song “Mein Herz brennt” on Amazon

Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein Acht Now, dear children, pay attention
ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen I am the voice from the pillow
ich hab euch etwas mitgebracht I brought something to you
hab es aus meiner Brust gerissen Have cut it from my breast
mit diesem Herz hab ich die Macht With this heart i have the power
die Augenlider zu erpressen To blame youre eyes
ich singe bis der Tag erwacht I sing till the day wakes up
ein heller Schein am Firmament A bright shine at the heavens sky
Mein Herz brennt My heart burns
 
Sie kommen zu euch in der Nacht They come to you at night
Dämonen Geister schwarze Feen Deamons, ghosts and black elves
sie kriechen aus dem Kellerschacht They crawl up from the cellar rows
und werden unter euer Bettzeug sehen and will take a lok under your bed
 
Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein Acht Little children listen on
ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen I am the voice from the pillow
ich hab euch etwas mitgebracht I braught something to you
ein heller Schein am Firmament A bright shine at the heavens sky
Mein Herz brennt My heart burns
 
Sie kommen zu euch in der Nacht They come to you at night
und stehlen eure kleinen heissen Tränen And steal your little hot tears
sie warten bis der Mond erwacht They wait till the moon awakes
und drücken sie in meine kalten Venen And push them in my cold venes
 
Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein Acht Little children listen on
ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen I am the voice from the pillow
ich singe bis der Tag erwacht I sing till the day awakes
ein heller Schein am Firmament A bright shine at the heavens sky
Mein Herz brennt My heart burns

This song is about childhood nightmares. It makes reference to an old German childrens TV show named Der Sandmann. It was used as the introductory and the final song to the movie Lilja 4-ever.

  1. The argument about rolling the “r”s is rather amusing, particularly because in most dialects of German you aren’t even supposed to roll your “r”s…

  2. The theme is close to Metallica’s Enter Sandman, just this song is about 50 times more freakin’ awesome!!

  3. I guess it would make sense to just pronounce it how Till pronounces it. I try really hard to get it right but I’m always falling down on my r’s!
    Go Rammstein!!

  4. It reminds meh of somone insane in the membrain but with a great way with dealing like freakin little children out mi personal favorite thing to do

  5. See, I am American, but Rammstein is my all time favorite band. I love everything they do, but I do not think I should be looked down upon because I can not roll my “r.” Some people are just not able. I do not get offended when people of other countries come and pronounce English wrong, hell, half the time I’m sure I’m not even pronouncing it correctly, lol.

  6. Hey Emil I’m not german but i agree! I get pissed off when people say ram-stine, when its “Rumm shtine” (with a trilled “r” as in maori). And I heard of Der Sandmann on Herzeleid.com once. I used to go to that site for translations but then i found this site which is miles better.
    Rammstein fur immer!

  7. I always this song was kind of metaphoric. The “children” that are sleeping , are the fans of Rammstein. The demons and evil things being general hardships that everyone goes through. “Even though life is hard, music will help you through it” kind of thing. Doesnt music seem alot better when you can relate to it ?

  8. “This song is about childhood nightmares. It makes reference to an old German childrens TV show named Der Sandmann. It was used as the introductory and the final song to the movie Lilja 4-ever.” I disagree! by “nightmares” they don’t really mean nightmares ok. ERGH! im not gonna do a whole LITERATURE ANALISSIS . 1st you learn to understand it!oh and for the english people it AIN’T ramm – stine(pronounciation i mean) it’s
    SHTine cuz its german. DOUNT BE SHTIOUPID!
