Rammstein Moskau lyric with English translation

Eta pesna o samom prekrasnom 
gorode v mire MOSKVA

Diese Stadt ist eine Dirne,
hat rote Flecken auf der Stirn,
ihre Zähne sind aus Gold,
sie ist fett und doch so hold,
ihr Mund fällt mir zu Tale
wenn ich sie dafür bezahle,
Sie zieht sich aus,
doch nur für Geld,
die Stadt, die mich in Atem hält

Moskau!
(Raz dva tri)
Moskau!
(Posmotri)
(Pioneri tam idyt,
Pesni leniny pout)

Sie ist alt und trotzdem schön,
ich kann ihr nicht wiederstehen, (Nemogy Ystoyat)
pudert sich die alte Haut,
hat sich die Brüste neu gebaut, (po strou odna)
sie macht mir geil,
ich leide qualend,
sie tanzt für mich,
ich muss bezahlen, (ya dolzen platit)
sie schläft mit mir,
doch nur für Geld,
ist doch die schönste Stadt der Welt

Moskau!
(Raz dva tri)
Moskau!
(Posmotri)
(Pioneri tam idyt,
Pesni leniny pout)

Moskau!
(Raz dva tri)
Moskau!
(Posmotri)
(Pioneri tam idyt,
Pesni leniny pout)

Raz dva tri

Ich sehe was,
was du nicht siehst
(Kogda ti nochiu krepko spish)

Ich sehe was,
was du nicht siehst
(Kogda ti predo mnoi legish)

Ich sehe was,
was du nicht siehst
(Kogda so mnou govorish)

Ich sehe was,
das siehst du nie
Raz dva tri

Moskau!
(Raz dva tri)
Moskau!
(Posmotri)
(Pioneri tam idyt, Pesni leniny pout)
This song is about the most beautiful
city in the world. Moscow!

This city is a prostitute
She has red spots on her forehead
Her teeth are made of gold
She's fat and yet so lovely
Her mouth falls to my valley
when I pay her for it
She takes off her clothes but only for money
The city that keeps me in suspense

Moscow
One, two, three!
Moscow
Look!
Pioneers are walking around there,
singing songs to Lenin.

She is old and nevertheless beautiful
I can't resist her
I can't resist
She powders her old skin
and has gotten her breasts rebuilt
rebuilt
She makes me horny I suffer torment
She dances for me I have to pay
I have to pay
She sleeps with me but only for money
It's still the most beautiful city in the world

Moscow
One, two, three!
Moscow
Look!
Pioneers are walking around there,
singing songs to Lenin.

Moscow
One, two, three!
Moscow
Look!
Pioneers are walking around there,
singing songs to Lenin.

I see something, 
that you don't see
When you close your eyes
When you sleep deeply in the night

I see something,
that you don't see
When you kneel before me
When you lie before me

I see something 
that you don't see
When you talk to me

When you talk to me
I see something, that you'll never see
One, two, three!

Moscow
One, two, three!
Moscow
Look!
Pioneers are walking around there,
singing songs to Lenin.

Rumored to have originally been intended as a duet with Yulia Volkova of Russian pop duo t.A.T.u., it instead features the vocals of Viktoria Fersh, whose voice bears a strong resemblance to Volkova’s. The song refers to the Russian capital of Moscow and features two perspectives on the city: its beauty and culture, and the undercurrents of corruption and prostitution.

  1. corruption and prostitution have been and will be vices of any city – not a big deal however what should be worrying and concerning is what is sung in russian by female vocalist – that’s something to be concerned about in the 21 century

  2. I know I’m a bit late here, but if you take a look at Tills lyrics as a whole, he is constantly referencing locales. Auslander, is just his latest ode to his love of banging girls in various cities.

  3. Is it just me or are people just stating the blatantly obvious half (of) the time, when commenting on Rammstein’s lyrics?!? Just saying like… 😛

  4. One has to wonder what Russians think of this song. I suppose some may be offended that Germans are criticizing Moscow, although I expect other Russians agree with Rammstein. It is a mixture of beauty and ugliness.

    People have to recognize what is wrong before they can make it better.

    Interesting how the Mutter album had both Moskau and Amerika, songs critical of the former coldwar rivals. Good idea to keep it balanced. I think both songs are honest comments on the failures of both countries.

  5. The best song ever moskau rains supreme above all you can do ne thing when u put ur ears to this song!!!!!

  6. Well, I maybe wrong, but as far as I know (and can see in video for this song from Völkerball) it’s definitely not Tatu. People say it’s Berloga Girls, a certain Victoria Fresh is the leader singer.

  7. this song is the best I love it and I never stop playing it I have a question who is singing the feminine part of the song I heard that tatu and that they teamed up with rammstein on this project is that true?

  8. >>Fix the Russian Lyrics already: “Kogda ti predo mnoi legish” is incorrectly translated. It’s “When you lie next to me”, not “before me”.
    And “Kogda so mnou govorish” isn’t anything about touching with lips. It’s “when you talk to me”.<<
    Everything is right.
    And there's nothing like "When you kneel before me" in the corresponding lines of the original Rammstain text.

    • Professional Russian here
      Kogda ti predo mnoi legish = When you lie before me
      You’re right about the rest though.

      Also, when “pionery tam idut”, they tend to march when singing, rather than just walk around

      • Aaw I replied to the wrong comment.
        “Kogda ti predo mnoi legish” = “When you lie before me”
        “Kogda so mnou govorish” = “when you talk to me”
