Rammstein Sonne lyrics with English translation

hay stop it

Putting the boxing aside, I like analyzing the official video, where a woman (die Sonne), towering over all the man (just like Sun does), interacts with them in various ways.

So at first, when she enters the house, she receives an offering of small piece of gold. This is a first suggestion, that the Sun is portrayed as a deity. But apparently, the offering is too small, the Sun gets offended and knocks the man down on the table.

Then the Sun spanks a man, as the rest of them stand in line, waiting for their turn. You do not see a slightest sign of disobedience. There is nothing they can do. In reality, it may suggest, that sometimes Sun may “spank” you, i.e it can make sunburns or make labor really hard in the heat of the Sun. We see the men working even harder throughout the video to produce a bigger offering for the next day.

Sun is beautiful, but you cannot look at it for too long, or you will get blinded. The episode, where Sun’s beauty is appreciated by two men holding the mirror for her and one brushing her hair. While another one, stares at her admiringly, but gets “blinded” for staring for too long. (kann verbrennen kann euch blenden)

Then the part starts, where Sun gets addicted to all the admiration and offerings (snorting gold dust). You see the loving (warming) Sun when she stands tall over all the men kneeling and crouching around her. They adore and revere her and she is happy to provide the warmth (a nice coincidence, is that this happens on count “sechs”, which sounds similar to “sex”). All this comes at a cost. The Sun simply gets too much of adoration, overdoses on it (syringe of gold dust) and dies. You can see the somber faces of the men as they enter the room where Sun has died.

The night begins. It’s dark. The men put the Sun into coffin and bring it on the hill. They are mourning, sad and depressed. Despite that, the words “Hier kommt die Sonne” continue, as you we see a sweaty, mud covered man uttering these words working hard to mine more gold, because the faith burns in his heart and he knows that Sun will return.

Finally, a falling apple breaks the glass coffin (which probably suggested temporariness of her death in the first place) and She is reborn. A falling apple may symbolize a cycle of life – one falls, while another one rises.

By the way, she both dies and resurrects on “acht” (8). This is obvious reference to evening and morning. While it doesn’t mean that Sun sets and rises at the same time, it’s good symbolism, because 8a.m is usually considered morning (sunrise), while 8p.m the evening (sunset).

Without getting into the song background and meanings previously put forward here, I have wondered if this song contains a message about arrogance. Do Germans have an equivalent of the British saying about the sun shining out of someone’s arse?

Hey, Tony Anthony, learn to speak English because I can’t understand shit of what you’re saying. At least use Google translate bro! Hahaha

Seems to me the song refers to the worship of the sun. Sun was the ultimate “god” to most of the pagan people of pre-Christian Europe. Many metal bands prise the pagan rites and many such stories can be heard in many metal songs. In particular, with Scandinavian black and Viking metal, paganism is often the main topic. Many people in Europe to this day see Christianity as an imposed religion and an import from the Middle East. Hence “resistance music” to the “mainstream” religion will always sound cool and mystic. In search for old lost tradition…

The video maybe about the Nimrod Complex. To love the one that abuses you. The hand that burns. To serve the unworthy. The song probably didn’t start out that way. Rammstein love their double entendres crossing from English to German and back. Could easily be seen as “the son”

what the fuck.
Have you not heard Links 234?

All you have is sun is white circle. There’s literally no other connection to Nazism

This song is about the national socialist flag. The white circle that encases or holds the swastika is a sun. Rammstein is full of national socialist references despite their objection to being fascist. They just have to go about hiding it in a certain light to prevent the government fron censoring their music.

Sieg Rammstein!

Almost every till song has let me to an unique meaning. Die Sonne ( the sun) means light which in general terms is a good thing. i mean without the sun, there wouldn’t be a life. darkness sounds good only in two hour film or even in 3 minute of a song.
if we go back to the lyrics, they show us for another difficult day that these people will have, while working. But in another hand at least they will enjoy of going out ( they would be working even within for walls (punished forever working and living just like that in the dark).
if the original Idea was Boxing than perhaps its about those very shiny lights that each ring’s corner “strike” to the boxer. and also about that punch that comes like a very hot sun.

I always thought it was Fraulein not Von Allen, “she is the brightest Star”
I knew about the snow white music video so I was half right, but I don’t understand German so I knew pieces.

Actually, the song can be twisted to portray either the atom bomb or (as the official youtube video does) excesses. In my opinion you really can’t discount either

If you watch the interview the did on this song they said that Till wanted to make the video about a boxer but when they got the idea for snowhite the all decided it was better.

I would have thought this song is about God and the End.

The video for this song threw me way off I have to say.

There are two places in here where the word “heiss” is translated to “ice” (Eis) rather than hot (heiss). Those lines should both be translated “lays down hot on your face”, which is basically the opposite of what’s written (ironic?). Not sure if anyone does edits on these pages, but that would be a good one.
