RAMMSTEIN TRANSLATIONS
DU HAST
YOU HAVE

You
You have
You have me
You have asked me
You have asked me and I have said nothing

Do you want, until seperate at death,
To be faithful, to her for all days

No

Do you want, up to her death
To love her, even in bad days

No

ALTER MANN
OLD MAN

He waits on the midday's wind
The wave comes and lies down wearily
With a fan everyday
The old one makes the water smooth

I throw the stone for fun
The water moves in circles
The old one looks sadly at me
And swept it smooth again

In the white sand, the old man
Trembling, smokes his pipe
Only the water and I know
Why he needs this fan

The idea sleeps like a volcano
Hesitating, I asked him then
His head bent, it seemed he slept
He said before he died

The water shall be your mirror
If it is smooth you will see
How many fairy tales remain for you
And you will plead for your redemption

The fan pressed against his body
The hand stiffens with rigor mortis
They had to break his fingers
The fan remains back in the sand

I call the old one everyday
He would like to redeem me
I remain back in the midday's wind
And I can read in the fan

The water shall be your mirror
If it is smooth you will see
How many fairy tales remain for you
And you will plead for your redemption
