Rammstein Ohne Dich lyrics with English translation

Buy Rammstein song “Ohne Dich” on Amazon

Ich werde in die Tannen gehen I’m going to go into the fir trees
Dahin wo ich sie zuletzt gesehen There where I last saw her
Doch der Abend wirft ein Tuch aufs Land But the evening is throwing a cloth upon the land
und auf die Wege hinterm Waldesrand and upon the ways behind the edge of the forest
Und der Wald er steht so schwarz und leer And the forest it is so black and empty
Weh mir, oh weh Woe is me, oh woe
Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr And the birds sing no more
 
Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein Without you I cannot be
Ohne dich Without you
Mit dir bin ich auch allein With you I am alone too
Ohne dich Without you
Ohne dich zähl ich die Stunden ohne dich Without you I count the hours without you
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden With you the seconds stand still
Lohnen nicht They aren’t worth it
 
Auf den Ästen in den Gräben On the branches in the ditches
ist es nun still und ohne Leben it’s now silent and without life
Und das Atmen fällt mir ach so schwer And breathing becomes oh so hard for me
Weh mir, oh weh Woe is me, oh woe
Und die Vögel singen nicht mehr And the birds sing no more
 
Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein Without you I cannot be
Ohne dich Without you
Mit dir bin ich auch allein With you I am alone too
Ohne dich Without you
Ohne dich zähl ich die Stunden ohne dich Without you I count the hours without you
Mit dir stehen die Sekunden With you the seconds stand still
Lohnen nicht ohne dich They aren’t worth it without you

“Ohne dich” was released as the third single from the album on 22 November 2004 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Other countries’ releases followed. It follows a slow, even romantic balladic style. The central motif is Without you, I cannot be, without you…, With you, I am also alone, without you…

 

The single includes as its 6th track the so-called beta version of what should have been part of Mutter. “Ohne dich” was planned for Mutter, but then dismissed.

The video was filmed in the Kaun Valley and on the Pitz Valley glacier in Tyrol, Austria. It shows the band members climbing and hiking.

  1. oh my god!!! i totally love this song. it makes me cry and realize the pain that love brings along with all it's pleasures. Till's Voice is amazing in this song. and the emotion he puts into it just makes it all the better. i am American but all i ever listen to is Rammstein i have taken German languae courses. and i'm grateful for being able to have them sing to me their songs that i have downloaded onto my MP3 player.

    Ich Liebe Rammstein!!!!! go Deutschland!!!!!!!!!!!

    oh and personally i wish i would've been born in Germany. lool. i know i'm obsessed but oh well. its Rammstein!!! lool

  2. When it was my first time i listened this awesome song , a pain revealed without any reason and my little German language competency was pretty enough to repeat the lyrics and made the pain settled in my heart as a whole.I got up and bought some beers aiming to be drunk as pain thrives more and more inside my soul.This song took all of your control and leads you pure melancholy The dazzling point is that language is German and the band is Rammstein who only made me recall something rebelling and shouting!

  3. Awesome song! I heard Till wrote this song, by adapting the text of a german dying soldier, who gets wounded before in the first worldwar. He wrote it a few minutes before his death and a friend took it.

    Ps.: Hehe sry for this bad english I'm german : D

  4. This is one o the best songs made by this GoDlike bad….:P…. and i don not think is about a drug addiction…. just think about it… love is like a drug too

  5. I watched the video for this, and it made me sad when Till falls off the mountain and then dies at the end. That's so sad. :'( But at least Till is still alive today.

  6. ppl wuden't normally think it.. but this song is about a drug addiction.. i find that very cool.. it's awesome! Rammstein ROCKS!!!!!
