Heard the English translation of Rammstein's "Du Hast" & I'm still confused. What do YOU think the song means?

The whole song is a play on German wedding vows.\n\nThe quote:\n\n"Wollt Ihr einander lieben und achten und die Treue halten, bis dass der Tod euch scheidet?" in German roughly translates to, "Do you want to love and respect each other and to remain faithful, until death separates you?" Instead of answering with "ja" (yes), the lyrics says "nein" (no), finally answering the question he said "nothing" to in the beginning.\n\nThe title is commonly interpreted as "You Have," but can be considered as a play on words: "Du hast" means "you have", while "du hasst", which would be spelled with a sharp (du haßt), but owing to the German grammar changes in 1996 would now simply be spelled as two s's. "s," means "you hate." The pun is illustrated by a comparison of the German version, a literal English translation, and the band's non-literal English version of the song.

For the first one, considering the 4 lines you put, either he is really bored, or he is tensed. Anyway, there's something really wrong (otherwise, he wouldn't notice the "drip".\n\nPS: you should have put a link to the lyrics\n\nI checked the lyrics for n°1: he's waiting for his former girlfriend's phone call. Apparently, he is going to wait a long time! I'm not sure if it always happens to him, or if it always happens with that girlfriend in particular.\n\nn°3: sex. Wine makes you exhilarated. Plus, it was the drink that the Romans and the Greeks drunk at their orgies. So it gives the idea of lust. basically, he is dribbling with desire! But it sounds much better the way he put it!\n\nI'm not sure about n°2. He might be talking about drugs and he wants to take his girlfriend with him because their relationship is not working anymore. Or he just wants to go out and have fun so that not to hear her yell at him.

Wow, I play that song so much, and I have never sat down to try and make sense of the lyrics. Being an American, I probably wouldn't be much help to analyze it, but letting you know there are Americans who do like the song.

"Steh auf wenn Du ein Deutscher bist"\n\n\nI've been trying to find a copy of it online.\n\nAdditionally, the melody is from "Go West" by the Village People, and made popular by Pet Shop Boys.   The lyrics have been changed for the German song.

It's an awesome song, but I'm not quite sure what it means.\n\nIt might mean that the writer of the song wasn't writing about heartbreaks and how much love sucks and stuff(tragedies), but instead, he wrote about sins and stuff.\n\nI dunno.

"Lamento" is a reference to the sound of a kind of bolivian music. Like when you say "soul" or "blues" in english. Playing some "blues" has nothing to do with painting a wall in blue colour. In fact is quite a blue music (sorrowful I think should be the correct translation).

Procal Harum crafted an unknowable piece of poetry with those lyrics. Perhaps those words don't even make sense to the songwriter(s). I don't know. I think the fun is in the mystery. That song probably means something different to everyone who has ever heard it.

As far as I know, Queen never really said" Oh, Well, this song means this or this".....I think it is a great song because everyone who hears it can interpret it their own way--and maybe it will mean different things at different times.  I don't think there should be a definite explanation of the song--sometimes you should just enjoy the music!

Is it an old Song?? It reminds to a very old Song from the late 50th, song by Lolita.\n\nThe Title was:\n\nSeemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer\n\nSeemann, laß´ das Träumen\nDenk nicht an zu Haus\nSeemann, Wind und Wellen\nRufen Dich hinaus\n\nDeine Heimat ist das Meer\nDeine Freunde sind die Sterne\nÜber Rio und Schanghai\nÜber Bali und Hawaii\nDeine Liebe ist dein Schiff\nDeine Sehnsucht ist die Ferne\nUnd nur ihnen bist du treu - ein Leben lang\n\nSeemann, laß´ das Träumen\nDenke nicht an mich\nSeemann, denn die Fremde\nWartet schon auf dich\n\nDeine Heimat ist das Meer\nDeine Freunde sind die Sterne\nÜber Rio und Schanghai\nÜber Bali und Hawaii\nDeine Liebe ist dein Schiff\nDeine Sehnsucht ist die Ferne\nUnd nur ihnen bist du treu - ein Leben lang \n\nTry this link, there you can find a midi of the melody, maybe it is the song you are looking for.....\n\nhttp://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/Lieder/seemann.mid
