Welcome to Gaia! ::

here we go, I'll have a try, I'm not a native speaker but I've been learning german for 6 1/2 years. I love rammstein by the way, but Mein Teil freaks me out cos I know what it's saying.

Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht - Fate laughed at me
und mir ein Geschenk gemacht - and made me a gift
Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern - Threw me onto a warm star
Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern - The skin so close to the distant eye (?)
Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand - I take my fate in the hand
Mein Verlangen ist bemannt - My longing is manned (?)

Wo das süße Wasser stirbt - Where the sweet water dies
weil es sich im Salz verdirbt - because it spoils itself in salt
trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn -I carry the small prince in mind
Ein König ohne Königin - a king without queen
Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt - if a wife loses their way with me (?)
dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt - then is the the light world confused

Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Meine Haut gehört den Herren - my skin belongs to the gentlemen
Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern - birds of a feather flock together
Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren - I am the servant of two gentlemen
Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern - birds of a feather flock together

Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume - I am the corner of all rooms
Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume - I am the shade of all trees
In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied - in my chain there's no member missing
wenn die Lust von hinten zieht - if lust pulls from behind
Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter - my sex berates me as a traitor
Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter - I am the incubus dream of all fathers

Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Meine Haut gehört den Herren - my skin belongs to the gentlemen
Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern - birds of a feather flock together

Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen - but my heart freezes some days
Mann gegen Mann - man against man
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen - cold tongues that hit there (?)

Schwulah - *AN: this appears to be a corruption* - gay

Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht - I'm not interested in balance
Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht - the sun shines on me on the face
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen - but my heart freezes some days
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen - cold tongues that hit there (?)

Schwulah - gay/homosexual
Mann gegen Mann - man against man


there you go... some of the more iffy lines with (?) could well be colloquialisms or proverbs that I don't know...

That song disgusts me. I hate it. YUK dramallama (the llama is gagging, by the way)

Mann gegen Mann is actually off of the rosenrot album. Thanks for the repsonses and for the translation of the song!

Ok, I'll try to fill in the lines Areliana was not sure about. But she did a really good job.


"Close to the skin, far away from the eye"


Ok, even my friend and I did not find a good translation for that, but we think it means he has got an erection... but in much nicer words.
Actually "bemannt" is a word that is used for vehicles... you can have "bemannte" ships...


"Cold tongues hit" Probably he means nasty words of cold hate against him?

BTW It is spelled "Schwuler", but the translation was totally correct.

I hope I could help a litte, actually there was not much to do after such a good translation.
And if you feel confused... don't worry. Even for native speakers those texts are hard to understand at some lines^^

All I could translate has all ready been covered. I can't seem to get along with rammstein, it doesn't seem to make sense sometimes.
