Lyrics and translations of Liebe ist für alle da

Translation

Whoever waits patiently
Will be rewarded when the time is right
Now, the wait is over
Lend your ears to a legend

Rammstein

Some lead, some follow
Heart and soul, hand in hand
Forwards, forwards, don't stop
Reason gains meaning and form

If happiness makes you sad
If there are no stars in the night
If you're lonely and alone
We are here, tune in

Rammstein

Some lead, some follow
Evil face, good game ⁽¹⁾
Devouring and being devoured
We take little and give a lot

When you don't know the answer
What's right is right
If you're sad and alone
We are back, tune in

Rammstein

One way
One goal
One motif
Rammstein
One direction
One feeling
Made of flesh and blood
A collective

Whoever waits patiently
Will be rewarded when the time is right
Now, the wait is over
Lend your ears to a legend

Rammstein

⁽¹⁾ This is a play on words that doesn't translate well. "Gute Miene zum bösen Spiel machen" essentially means "to grin and bear it" or "to make a nice face while bad things happen" (literally: "to make a good face for an evil game"). Here, this has been flipped around (evil face, good game).

Translation Jeremy Williams

Translation

You're only alive for me
I poke medals into your face
You are utterly devoted to me
You love me because I don't love you

You bleed for the salvation of my soul
A little cut and you're turned on
Your body already completely disfigured
Whatever, anything goes

I hurt you
I'm not sorry
It does you good
Listen to it scream

With you, I choose the torment [1]
Barbed wire in the urethra
Put your flesh in salt and pus
First you die but then you'll keep living

Bites, kicks, hard blows
Needles, pliers, dull saw
Make a wish, I won't say no
And I'll insert the rodents into you

I hurt you
I'm not sorry
It does you good
Listen to it scream

You are the ship, I'm the captain
Where do you want to go?
I see your face in the mirror
You love me because I don't love you

I hurt you
I'm not sorry
It does you good
Listen to it scream

⁽¹⁾ "Die Qual der Wahl" is a German idiom that means "the agony of choice". Here, this has been reversed (as in "I have the choice of agony"). The word "Qual", however, also has other possible translations, such as torment or torture.

Translation

I've been in heat for days
So I will hunt down some female game ⁽¹⁾
And I'll wait in the blind until morning
So I can make a shoulder shot

On the land and on the sea
Decay lies in wait
The creature must die
Die

A yearling hind gets on its legs
It had been sunning itself in the high reeds
It's making good tracks deep in the fir forest
It's rump patch shines, I begin to bake

The tail whips like a finger eel
The shotgun jumps from its case
Good hunting ⁽²⁾
I brush the velvet from the horn
And give it a medium sight
Good hunting

On the land and on the sea
Decay lies in wait
The creature must die
Good hunting
Die
Good hunting

It feels the muzzle energy
Fine blood drops onto its knee
On the land and on the sea
Decay lies in wait
The creature must die
Good hunting
Die
Good hunting
On the land and on the sea
Decay lies in wait
Good hunting
On the land and on the sea
Good hunting

⁽¹⁾ Kahlwild ("bald game") is either a female game animal or a calf without antlers.

⁽²⁾ Waidmanns Heil literally means "huntsman's greeting". It is traditionally used as a greeting between hunters or to wish other hunters luck, etc.

Translation

We hold together ⁽¹⁾
We put up with each other
We stick together
No one will slow us down

We remain loyal to you
We stand by that
We follow the rules
If we are allowed to rule

And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So no one sees the tears

We keep up the pace
We keep our word
If one (of us) isn't keeping up
We stop right away

We keep our eyes open
We hold each other by the arm
Six hearts that burn
The fire keeps you warm

And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So no one sees the tears

In the depths it is lonely
And so many a tear flows ⁽²⁾
And that is why the water
In the seas is salty

They can think whatever
They want about us
We keep each other harmless ⁽³⁾
We will never stop

And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So no one sees the tears

In the depths it is lonely
And so many a tear flows
And that is why the water
In the seas is salty

And the shark, it has tears
And they run down its face
But the shark lives in the water
So no one sees the tears

⁽¹⁾ The song uses the verb "halten" in may different ways (prefixes, etc.) that cannot all be translated with the same verb in English so most of the repetition is lost in translation.

⁽²⁾ Zähre is an archaic word for "tear", even more closely related to the English word than the usual German word, "Träne".

⁽³⁾ "Schadlos halten" is legal terminology that means "to hold harmless", "to indemnify", and so on, but that doesn't seem to fit here.

Translation

Soon it will be night
We are alone
You don't have to
Don't have to be sad
Voices whisper behind the face
They say
Don't do that
Leave it be
Don't touch it
Just say no

L***** ⁽¹⁾
Is what I'll get
L*****
Is what I'll get

Don't be afraid
After all, I am here
As you know, I am
I am really close to you
Voices whisper behind the face
They say
Don't do that
Leave it be
Don't touch it
Just say no

L*****
Is what I'll get
L*****
Is what I'll get

Two souls, oh, in my loins
Only one can survive
The first time won't hurt
There won't be a second time

L*****
Don't do that
L*****
Leave it be
L*****
Don't touch it
L*****
Just say
L*****
Is what I'll get
L*****
Is what I'll get

⁽¹⁾ The title stands for a made-up word, Bückstabü. It seems to be a "corruption" of the word "Buchstabe", which means "letter (of the alphabet)". Therefore, perhaps "L*****" or something like "Lëttër" would be an appropriate translation.

Translation

In a dress of light she approached me
I remember it like it was yesterday
I was so young, felt embarrassed
But I've never regretted it

She shouted words at my face
Her tongue strewed lust
But I didn't understand her language
I haven't regretted it

Oh no, nothing at all [1]
Oh no, I don't regret anything
When I left her skin
Springtime bleeds in Paris

I didn't know my body
Dreaded so the sight
She showed it to me in the light
I've never regretted it

Her lips oft-sold yet soft
And to touch them for eternity
When I left her mouth
Then I began to freeze

She shouted words at my face
Her tongue strewed lust
But I didn't understand her language
I haven't regretted it

Oh no, nothing at all
Oh no, I don't regret anything
When I left her skin
Springtime bleeds in Paris

A whisper fell to my lap
And made a marvellous sound
Talked a lot, said nothing
And felt good

She shouted words at my face
And bowed down low
But I didn't understand her language
I haven't regretted it

Oh no, nothing at all
Oh no, I don't regret anything
When I left her skin
Springtime bleeds in Paris

Translation Jeremy Williams

Translation

Come with me come to my castle
Fun is waiting there in the cellar
Quiet, we want to be quiet
To release the moment from time
Yes, paradise is lying beneath the house
The door is slammed shut, the light goes out

Are you ready?
Are you prepared?
Welcome to the darkness

No one can interfere down here
Nobody, nobody may hear us
No, we won't be discovered
We let ourselves enjoy life
And if you are lonely sometimes
I plant a little sister in you
What a young skin, what a firm flesh
Underneath the house a love nest

Are you ready?
Are you prepared?
Welcome to the darkness
In the darkness
In loneliness
In sadness
For eternity
Welcome to reality
And if you're walking in the deep valley
Are you ready?
Your life shall be without any light
Are you prepared?
Fear no misfortune no pain
Get ready
I'm close to you and holding you
Holding you in the darkness
In the darkness

Too big too small
Size does matter after all
Too big too small
It could be a little bigger
Mercedes-Benz and motorway
Driving abroad alone
Travel, travel, the joy of driving
I just want to have fun not fall in love
Just a little bit
Just a little bitch

You've got a pussy I have a dick ah
So what's the problem let's do it quick
So take me now before it's too late
Life's too short so I can't wait
Take me now oh don't you see
I can't get laid in Germany

Too short too tall,
Doesn't matter one size fits all
Too big too small
The tollbar should be lifted
Beautiful young lady lust for more
Blitzkrieg with the meat rifle
Schnapps in the head, you fair bride
I put sausage in your sauerkraut
Just a little bit
Be my little bitch

You've got a pussy I have a dick ah
So what's the problem let's do it quick
So take me now before it's too late
Life's too short so I can't wait
Take me now oh don't you see
I can't get laid in Germany

You've got a pussy I have a dick ah

Warm water
Beautiful bodies
How they shine
In the sun
I sneak up
And I smooth-talk
Who wants to fuck
Has to be friendly

Love is there for all

I close my eyes
Then I can see her
I lock her up into my fantasy
I close my eyes
She doesn't fight back
Love is there for all
Not for me

Warm water
Beautiful bodies
Not for me
It runs away from me
Finest shapes
Well-built
Full mouth
Skin so brown

Love is there for all
For me too

I close my eyes
Then I can see her
I lock her up into my fantasy
I close my eyes
She doesn't fight back
Love is there for all
Not for me

I close my eyes
We are alone
I hold her tight
And no one can see her crying
She closes her eyes
She doesn't fight back
Love is there for all
For me too

Love is there for all
Love is there for all
Love is there for all
For me too

I need a lot
And much of it
And only for me
Only for me
Of all that
One wants to have
I need ten times as much
For me it’s never enough
For me it’s never enough
It is better when one has more

More

What I have
Is too little for me
I need a lot
I need quite a lot
Have nothing to give
Do without, what for?
I am rich though
But that just isn't enough
Modesty?
All that is alright
I take it all
Even if it's vile
For me it’s never enough
For me it’s never enough
It is better when one has more

More
Much more

Am never satisfied
There is no point
There can’t be “enough”
It’s never too much
All the others
Have so little
Give me that too
They don't need it anyway

Am never satisfied
There is no point
There can’t be “enough”

Have so little

One love one promise
I said I’d come back to you
Now alas I have to break it
His bullet is stuck inside me

One love two pistols
One is aiming at my face
He blames me for stealing you
He is not aware of your love for me

Red sand and two cartridges
One dies in the powder kiss
The second one mustn’t spare its target
Now stuck deep inside my chest

One love one promise
Oh, blood is running from my mouth
And no one will avenge me
Pointlessly I perish

One love two pistols
One could draw faster
Well then it wasn't me
Now you belong to him

Red sand and two cartridges
One dies in the powder kiss
The second one mustn’t spare its target
Now stuck deep inside my chest

Red sand and white doves
Feast on my blood
At last there is an end
I am still good for something

Red sand and two cartridges
One dies in the powder kiss
The second one mustn’t spare its target
Now stuck deep inside my chest

You are near to my hart
When I bleed you are in pain
We have to know each other
One body two names
Nothing can separate us
A twobody in semen
When you cry I feel good
The hand of your fear
Feeds my blood

Guide me
Hold me
I feel you
I won't leave you

You are built onto my heart
Two souls stretch one skin
And when I speak you are silent
You die when I want you to
When you cry I give you
The children of fear
Tears of mine
When you cry I give you
The children of fear
Tears of mine

Guide me
Hold me
I fell you
Don't leave me
I won't leave you

Two pictures just one frame
One body but two names
Two wicks one candle
Two souls in one heart

Guide me
Hold me
I fell you
Don't leave me
I do not leave you

Danube spring, your bloodletting
Where comfort and pain are melting away
Nothing good is lying secretly wet
On your muggy meadows

Nobody knows what happened here
The streams were rusty red
The fish couldn’t breathe anymore
And all the swans were dead
On the shores, in the meadows
The animals felt sick
Out of the pastures, in the river
A dreadful stench was floating

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything

Soon mothers were standing near the stream
And shedding a flow of tears
On the fields, through the dykes
Grief was growing in every pond
Black flags raised all over town
All the rats were fat and full
The wells were poisoned, everywhere
And people drifted away

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything

The Danube flows in a bloodshed
Where comfort and pain are melting away
Nothing good is lying secretly wet
On your muggy meadows

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything

I'm different now
They've changed me
But I still believe that
There are too many people
I can't stand them
They're tormenting me with their jokes
But the most wicked of sounds
Is their heartbeat

Stop
Hold on
Stop
Hold on
I can't
Can't stand it
Stop
Put an end to that beating

Can't you see I'm not feeling well
But they're pumping more blood in and
How quickly they multiply
They're swarming over me
I can't stand them
I'm trying to wipe them out
It's throbbing in my temples
Their heartbeat

Stop
Hold on
Stop
Hold on
I can't
Can't stand it
Stop
Put an end to that beating
Standing still in the breast
A dead heart is no loss
Do not move
No one torments me like that for fun
I let the sun onto your heart

No one torments me like that for fun
I'm bringing light onto your heart
The decision is not that difficult
I'm now coming home and getting my gun

Stop
Hold on
Stop
Hold on
No one torments me like that for fun
I let the sun into your heart

Sunday on the meadow near the Amper
Liese is dutifully herding geese
Here is Jakob running up to her
Holding a sickle in his hand

He's shoving it now and then
Under little Liese's skirt and bodice
He wants to have a taste of her, to force her
And the lad will then sing

Dear Liese, leave the geese
I want to taste your skin
The scythe gets rusty from blood
If you're not nice to me

Jakob may lick little Liese
And she'll taste like pear
Tiny hairs stand on end
Rushing her to the wheatfield

Well hidden in the golden stream
He pinned down Liese
He held her tight until nightfall
And he sang inside the child

Dear Liese, leave the geese
I want to taste your skin
The scythe gets rusty from blood
If you're not nice to me
