Buy Rammstein song “Wo bist du?” on Amazon
| Ich liebe dich | I love you |
| Ich liebe dich nicht | I love you not |
| Ich liebe dich nicht mehr | I love you no more |
| Ich liebe dich nicht mehr oder weniger als du | I love you no more or less than you |
| Als du mich geliebt hast | Than you loved me |
| Als du mich noch geliebt hast | When you still loved me |
| Die schönen Mädchen sind nicht schön | The pretty girls are not pretty |
| Die warmen Hände sind so kalt | The warm hands are so cold |
| Alle Uhren bleiben stehen | All clocks have stopped |
| Lachen ist nicht mehr gesund und bald | It’s no longer healthy to laugh, and soon |
| Such ich dich hinter dem Licht | I’ll look for you behind the light |
| Wo bist du | Where are you? |
| So allein will ich nicht sein | I don’t want to be so alone |
| Wo bist du | Where are you? |
| Die schönen Mädchen sind nicht schön | The pretty girls are not pretty |
| Die warmen Hände sind so kalt | The warm hands are so cold |
| Alle Uhren bleiben stehen | All clocks have stopped |
| Lachen ist nicht mehr gesund, und bald | It’s no longer healthy to laugh, and soon |
| Ich suche dich hinter dem Licht | I look for you behind the light |
| Wo bist du | Where are you |
| So allein will ich nicht sein | I don’t want to be so alone |
| Wo bist du | Where are you |
| Ich such dich unter jedem Stein | I look for you under every stone |
| Wo bist du | Where are you |
| Ich schlaf mit einem Messer ein | I fall asleep with a knife |
| Wo bist du | Where are you? |
“Wo bist du?” (Where are you?) is a song that was supposed to be on Reise, Reise but because Rammstein wanted to make Reise, Reise the hardest album they have made so far, it was felt that the song was too gentle and it was left out. The song begins with a clarinet and then the rest of the instruments begin to play. The song is different because the keyboard is the instrument that is easiest to hear.
*me.
Sorry about my typo.
This song is so powerful. All of Rammstein’s songs are amazing to be, but Wo bist du and Mutter really stir my emotions the most.
I love Rammstein so much, I’m beyond grateful for them.
IMO, this is another one of Till’s beloved twists: the entire way through the song he leads the listener to believe that he is looking for this woman to reunite with her…but… in that last line, he cleverly reveals that he is actually looking for her because she is seeking him out in order to harm him: SHE is hunting HIM – and he is on a knife-edge, having to watch out everywhere for her, like a child checking in the closet and under the bed for the monster… ;o)
LOL, while you did notice the dark edge of this song, you’ve interpreted things the wrong way. He’s looking for her. No, not looking. Hunting!
Pretty sure its about him killing himself in the end to “go behind the light” and find his dead lover
I read it again. He didn’t find her.
Sounds to me like she’s already dead and he probly think so, because of some disaster. He’s not sure because he can’t find her body, he’s looking under rocks litterally.
If he can’t find her he’ll assume the worst and look for her in death.
Omg ;( i cry every time when i listen to this song… My girl, broke up with me, and this song is so depressing now…
Each time I listen to this song, it makes me think of the woman I thought loved me, who I could never think about living without, yet she turned out to be a horrible person, undeserving of anything decent.. Yet still after all this time, knowing that anyone will still be better for me, I still cry at night because she’s not with me.. I miss her more than anyone else, even though she’s bad for me, and sometimes nearly drove me to suicide with her words…
i hear you buddy
Yeah like Scott said, I hear ya, buddy.
Except for a few unlucky guys, every man on the planet has an ex like this in his past… I say the unlucky ones, because (and I hate to quote – well, paraphrase – Garth) You could have missed the pain, but you’d have had to miss the dance.
Without emotional pain, joy has no meaning. Take the pain, because the world does turn, bro… although, looking at the date of your post, you’ve already figured this out, so this is as much for others reading this going through the same, as it is for you.
A two year old comment and it still hit just right for someone else just as you wrote. Thank you.
I don’t get how this wouldn’t be on reuse resize if it had been intended to be. If you can put ohne ditch on there then surely this song could lol but it was there choice. I bought the album especially for this song. Could’ve been a single. Ich liebe Rammstein!!!
You’ve all gone soft, this is a Rammstein song. A gentle love song till the twist at the end – THE KNIFE! He’s saying “When I find you, if I can’t have you then no one will”
This song reminds me of my girlfriend… who is moving in a couple of months… it makes me cry every time I hear this song.
Barely understand german working my way through the albums my god these guys rock, best way to learn german lol. This song is awsome
Rammstein is the best!
I LOVE this song I think I broke a record, I have had this song stuck in my head for perhaps 3 months? it just will not go!!!!!
love it!
P.S
I actually do sleep with a knife right by me xD
With this song I kind of get the feeling that he can’t stand losing her and his frevent search is going to end in a murder and suicide. It’s kind of like he’s saying “I will search everywhere for you, I will leave no stone unturned, oh, and by the way, I sleep with a knife”
To me it comes across as quite menacing.
That all being said, I love this song.
I find a better translation of the last line to be
“With a knife I find sleep.”
Mein absoluter Favorit – Ich liebe Rammstein!
“Ich schlaf’ mit einem Messer” means “I SLEEP with a knife”
“Ich schlaf’ mit einem Messer ein” means “I FALL ASLEEP with a kinfe”
