| Wer wartet mit Besonnenheit | The one who waits with prudence* |
| Der wird belohnt zur rechten Zeit | Will be rewarded at the right time |
| Nun, das Warten hat ein Ende | Well, the waiting has ended |
| Leiht euer Ohr einer Legende. | Lend your ear to a legend |
| Ramm-Stein! | Ramm-Stein! |
| Manche führen, manche folgen | Some lead, some follow |
| Herz und Seele, Hand in Hand | Heart and soul, hand in hand |
| Vorwärts, vorwärts, bleibt nicht stehen! | Forward, forward, don’t stop |
| Sinn und Form bekommen Verstand. | Meaning and form gain understanding |
| Wenn die Freude traurig macht | When joy makes sad |
| keine Sterne in der Nacht. | There are no stars in the night |
| Bist du einsam, und allein | Are you secluded and alone, |
| Wir sind hier, schalte ein… | We are here, switch on… |
| Ramm-Stein! | Ramm-Stein |
| Manche führen, manche folgen | Some lead some follow |
| Böse Miene gutes Spiel. | (Make an) Evil face (for a) good game** |
| Fressen und gefressen werden, | Devouring and being devoured |
| Wir nehmen wenig, geben viel. | We take a little, give a lot |
| Wenn ihr keine Antwort wisst | If you don’t know an answer |
| Richtig ist, was richtig ist | What’s right is right |
| Bist du traurig, und allein | Are you sad and alone |
| Wir sind zurück, schalte ein… | We are back, switch on… |
| Ramm-Stein! | Ramm-Stein! |
| Ein Weg, | One path |
| Ein Ziel | One goal |
| Ein Motiv | One motive |
| Ramm-Stein! | Ramm-Stein |
| Eine Richtung | One direction |
| Ein Gefühl | One feeling |
| Aus Fleisch und Blut, | Of flesh and blood |
| Ein Kollektiv. | One collective |
| Wer wartet mit Besonnenheit | The one who waits with prudence |
| Der wird belohnt zur rechten Zeit | Will be rewarded at the right time |
| Nun, das Warten hat ein Ende | Now the waiting has ended |
| Leiht euer Ohr einer Legende. | Lend your ear to a legend |

Translation notes:
* Prudence also means care/caution/good sense
** “Böse Miene, gutes Spiel.” is a play on the German saying: “Gute Miene zum bösen Spiel machen.” (Grin and bear it), i.e. put on a good face for an evil game…which means put on a good front and stay the course. Here it’s juxtaposed to mean put on an evil face for a good game.
An intro to what seems like the apocalypse, We hear once again hear Till Lindemanns beautiful yet dark vocal and then the shout of “Rammstein”. The rest of the band come into play into an epic adventure. “Rammlied” is the evil and better brother to the song “Rammstein”. Rammstein have finally made their return and they make sure everyone knows that with this piece.
…“Rammlied” is the evil and better brother to the song “Rammstein”…
Is it, though?… The song ‘Rammstein’ literally describes the scenario of the Ramstein airshow-disaster in a poetic way as Till Lindermann does. – I know that it kind of became their “theme song”, being all full of fiery dread and obviously the name, but ‘Rammlied’ is much more about “the legend of Rammstein” (the band, the sound, the experience) than ‘Rammstein’ the song itself.
There’s no resemblance but the word “ramm”.
Monsterously heavy and powerful yet graceful and positive!! My love for this band increases with every listen.
Same with me, I just love them, a song for every feeling…Im so lucky I will be in front of them in about a week! About time they returned to USA!
I adore how this is basically the metal version of one of those rap “I’m the greatest” signature songs, but when done to say WE’RE the greatest and with a “for the greatest good” message as here, the tone is 180° different. I love how they emphasize their collective nature (like a local rap collective that I love in Minnesota, Doomtree). Just so refreshing
Totally obsessed with Rammstein! and love their lyrics. Seeing them at Milton Keynes in FIVE WEEKS! Beyond excited!!
I was messing around in Audacity and discovered something odd. The version on the Pussy 12″ is not just a copy of the album version, it’s an entirely different version.
Nothing evil about this song! A bit of grand-standing perhaps, but Rammstein has earned the right to blow their own horn IMHO
I say this is a harder brother of Ein Lied.
Best song to open their concert ever!!!! I was there in Quebec then they played the summer festival in 2010; honestly, they couldn’t have picked a better song to open the concert! As soon as Till started singing and the German flag popped up behind the curtain, the crowd of 100,000+ erupted!!! Best concert experience of my life
Saw them in San Antonio TX with my son. F***ing rocked !
ohhhhhhhhhhhh yessssssssssss!
[…] Rammlied […]
This is a staple on my playlists!!
Such a dominating crushing powerful riff.
