Rammstein Tier lyric with English translation

Was macht ein Mann
was macht ein Mann
der zwischen Mensch und Tier
nicht unterscheiden kann
was

Er wird zu seiner Tochter gehen
sie ist schön und jung an Jahren
und dann wird er wie ein Hund
mit eigen Fleisch und Blut sich paaren

Was tust du
Was fühlst du
Was bist du
doch nur ein
Tier

Was macht die Frau
was macht die Frau
die zwischen Tier und Mann
nicht unterscheiden kann

Sie taucht die Feder in sein Blut
schreibt sich selber einen Brief
entseelte Zeilen an die Kindheit
als der Vater bei ihr schlief

Was tust du
Was fühlst du
Was bist du
doch nur ein Tier
What does a man do
what does a man do
who can't tell the difference
between human and animal
what

He will go to his daughter
she is beautiful and young
and then, like a dog, will
mate with his own flesh and blood

What do you do
What do you feel
What are you
but only a
Animal

What does a woman do
what does a woman do
who can't tell the difference
between animal and man

She dips the feather in his blood
and write herself a letter
lifeless lines to childhood
when her father slept by her

What do you do
What do you feel
What are you
but only a Animal

This song is about paedophiliac incest. The lyrics say of the father, “You are just an animal.” The daughter eventually kills the father and writes her story in his blood.

  1. It’s a song about what this sort of sick stuff does to children and it’s a song written for those that went through such horrible events. Next, you’ll all throw a fit about Motorhead’s Jailbait song.

  2. You’re all arguing over a literal translation of a song like language is as simple as mathematics. I really don’t think they wrote a song about pedo incest on their second album…
