[Kayruul]

It's about time there's a video where some needle minded prick didn't dislike it because he has nothing better to do with his time.

[TheAaron87]

@T800rule and @skatekai I play with various balls to this shit

[ouatisxz]

I'd play football to this shit, if headphones were allowed on the pitch.

[thisistheescapeplan]

I play inFAMOUS to this which is not shit

[Motoruven]

Listen to this while working out!

[AyKayDeeKay]

I really can't find the dislike bar....... Oh, that's right Rammstein is too awesome to be disliked 

[88halokiller]

i dont get the "It beats left there" it doesnt make any sense..can someone enlighten me? it would be great lol

[zer0nable]

@88halokiller

Rammstein are Left-Wingers against Nazis .. they are born in former east germany

Thats the fuckin Sense

[88halokiller]

@zer0nable ok jackass, listen 88 is my FOOTBALL number you ass hole, i was trying to be nice because i truely dont know so dont be a dick just because i ask a question.

[zer0nable]

@88halokiller

ah you're a Nazi Bitch .. i didnt know that lol

[zer0nable]

@88halokiller

if not , the word "fuckin" has nothing to do with you , is no offense

if you're a right winger .. go and die

[ouatisxz]

@zer0nable Well, the heart is slightly on the left side of the chest; and yeah, the right side thing has to do with political orientation, so it's a bit of a pun.

[DoodleAids]

i fingered myself to this shit

[Stonerwashed]

@DoodleAids o.o.....probably the most outragiously inappropriate comment I've seen since i hopped on YT today.....win

[1978atcarroll]

@DoodleAids can i smell your finger?

[Ragnargk]

"workers of the world unite2"

.

[Vegabond13]

Yeah, nearly all the band members are openly communist (far left) leaning in their ideals, which are considered the direct enemies of fascists (extreme right). But hey, if people want to believe bullshit who are we to stop them? People tend to believe whatever fits their agenda, and care little about the truth.

[TheRadioactivemutant]

@Vegabond13 Finally, a non idiot on youtube. Thank you.

[Tiburone15]

@Vegabond13 So what are you.

[Jackal10110010]

Also the Chant is from an old military chant the Germans used, (much like the u.s. version of cadence left-right left-right) 

[Jackal10110010]

And believe it or not people yes, the Nazi party was Right wing, although slightly in our terms, It was named the Nationalist socialist movement to gather support, just another deception in Hitlers arsenal, much like how he attended Church to gain christain support even though he was an atheist. Hitler was cunning, and if you know anything about politics, from closer inspection, you will notice Hitlers Germany was center right. (If he was socialist, why did he have them all killed before the jew

[Jackal10110010]

@Jackal10110010 And when I refer to all the socialists being killed by Hitler, I am referring to the historical event of "The night of long knives" In which all the left leaning, or socialist and communist peoples among the SA or more commonly known as the Sturmabteilung (or brown shirts) as well as other old enemies, and anyone who would appose his rule. A total of 85 political leaders where executed, and the SS raised from SA to be Hitlers most trusted branch (the SS being a branch in the SA)

[Jackal10110010]

"A lot of people who dont know much about Rammstein (or Germany) believe Rammstein are Nazi/fascists and this song is a response to that which mocks those who don't look deeper into the lyrics. Although maintaining the fascist facade with the marching chant of "links zwo drei vier" Til sings in the chorus what could be translated and summarised as "they want my heart to beat on the right (as in, right-wing/fascist), but it beats left (as in left-wing)"

[zer0nable]

@Jackal10110010

correct .. they are left-wingers but not communists

[luigifan16132]

And go ahead,Delete my coment!Seig heil!

[rtshardcore]

k lets ignore all your weird opinions on the intent of the song, and lets just enjoy the music, thanks...

[johnjohn180]

jager + rammstein = awsome night that youll never remember

[Albaniandude69]

[luigifan16132]

@Albaniandude69 To many negative votes!?People need to open there eyes,find the video and watch!I mean,they are even in the formation of a Nazi march!Ah,sily little ants.

[Albaniandude69]

@luigifan16132 i know they are not nazi's but i dont really care what they are , their music is awesome either way. :)

[WildSedna]

[SweetLans]

Thnx a lot for translation. I'm russian, i know english and trying to learn german. This helps a lot!

[13TBULL]

@SweetLans there not tht diff so shoulden't be to hard. and good for u learning diff lang. :P

[Alicaint]

Is this "Left" as in left behind or "Left as in opposite of right, eg, "It's down the road and on the left"? lol.

[13TBULL]

@Alicaint i think he means left behind

[laughingatarmageddon]

@Alicaint I think they're talking about a military march cadence, they always start with the left foot. Maybe protesting conformity?

[Superblabala1917]

I believe this song is even written by a socialist somewhere in the 1930's

[TheHeleneterschuur]

i don´t understand this song completely but i think this: he keeps saying they want my heart on the right spot but then i look below it beats left there....and then he says later: it beats there in the left breast,the envious has not known it well....so that means people want him to be normal or good but he refuses to be?

[SoviMusic]

They talk about there political view they explained it People want there earth to by at rigth but it beat a left ...

[darkruler19]

if this song is about the heart then why does the videoclip go over ants and not someone with heart problems or somthing? nice translation btw thx now i can understand it compleetly ;)

[monstergurl9]

@darkruler19 I KNOW RIGHT?! lmfao.

i said that right after the video was done... "WHY THE SHIT IS THIS ABOUT HEARTS AND THEN THE VIDEO HAS ANTS RUNNING EVERYWHERE?!"

LOL.

[darkruler19]

@monstergurl9 yh exactly lol

[monstergurl9]

@darkruler19 lmfao. xD

[Echo93611]

whats with the zwo? i thought 2 was zwei? or is it just like a shortened version?

[a7xwasea]

@Echo93611 In Austria some areas use zwo instead of zwei. Also It's occasionally used in music for rhyming purposes.

[rammsteinlover1337]

this has nothing with rasism or nazism its about THE HEART !!"!!

cuz: left is there the hearts sits and 2 3 4 is yes the beat

love this song

its is about hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and noting is wrong about that

[tech9boarder]

alot of people call me a nazi just because im full german, like, i litterally got the blande hair and blue eyes of one, but, when i sing the song i also litterally sound like i am from germany, but im canadian

[bryantherandom]

I thought 2 was Zwei not "zwo"can anyone explain this to me?

[Trevorthekid]

@bryantherandom - I believe that in the German military, they say "zwo" not "zwei". Because the song has a militaristic sound to it, they used "zwo" instead.

[bryantherandom]

@Trevorthekid thank you

[metalafi]

I thought this song was about war and i thought he was saying hut 2 3 4 it sounds better

[GinandWeedRule]

Since the "Heil Salute" to Hitler was with the RIGHT arm to the RIGHT side, Rammstein must be saying how they are to the LEFT side where the heart beats... Get it? This is what the whole song's about! Proving they're not Nazi. : )

[Trevorthekid]

@GinandWeedRule - Also, Hitler was conservative (on the right side of the political spectrum), while in the lyrics, it's saying that they are on the left. Btw, I just got bit by a hornet while typing this comment. It sucked.

[GinandWeedRule]

@Trevorthekid How in the world could you have been bitten by that?! O.o

[aresgil]

how stupid and ignorant people are, those who are sayin all germans are nazis must be americans, those who dont know any other countrie's culture or history, step out of ur freakness and start reading and getting info about the world, i know us is nuclearly strong and stuff but FUCK, cant believe the rate of stupidness in there is higher than any other country.

[T800rule]

@aresgil yeah,cause stereotyping americans isnt any different than stereotyping germans.

[masterch33f09]

@aresgil agreed America is pretty damn stupid me being from America and part German I'm always called a nazi at school. I'm also part russian and called a communist so yeah we are fucking stupid in America

[purpleravenstar]

@masterch33f09 Bear in mind that all political ideologies are meant to bamboozle and fuck the common man in the ass 24/7/365.

[kaligula27]

i love this song and i do not speck gegmen but the heck!!!

[InsatiableNaynay]

Wow just because their German tht doesnt make them Nazi . Rammstein kicks ass regardless so just stfu and listen to the sick music :)

[guy42294]

I used to live in Germany when I was younger and became pretty fluent in German. Now I live in El Paso and am starting to pick up Spanish pretty fast.

[MrKitsuneFox]

Thank you Rammstein for this wonderful song, and thank you MusicDj167 for making this video!

[BvOBart]

You made a mistake in the vid at 1:47 and 1:51. Just go look at those points and you'll see what I mean.

[hc6777]

That Is good that you delete racism, Yust bc thier German does not mean anything

[ZebulonOldFool]

Awesome song!

[LyssLinn]

People who say, that Rammstein or all germans are nazis, are just dumb... 99 % of us hate nazis and hitler and all that fuck.. there are just a few people who still think, hitler was cool.. but i think, he was a bitch, and he WAS, you can't deny, common x'D

Mein Herz schlägt auch links! ; ) Love Rammstein <3

[Dingo13able]

is a military march they are not nazi hitler is dead. 

[DieDeutsch]

I thought that zwei was two in German not zwo WTF Is that like an older version

[AcolyteAbyss]

@DieDeutsch There are two German words for the number 2: Zwei und Zwo.

[DieDeutsch]

@AcolyteAbyss Oh, I see I've just never heard it before, is it used commonly?

[AcolyteAbyss]

@DieDeutsch I believed it is used frequently in everyday speech, though I think it is less formal.

[DieDeutsch]

@AcolyteAbyss Hmm, interesting... thank yiou very much!

[DieDeutsch]

I thought that zwei was two in German not zwo? WTF Is that like an older version

[DieDeutsch]

I thought that zwei was two in German not zwo? WTF? Is that like an older version

[DieDeutsch]

I thought that zwei was two in German not zwo? WTF? Is that like an older version?

[annamaria96]

Thanks for translating, it's so good to know what the song is about,wish I could talk german!!! Great music, Rammstein rocks!!!

[Mizugetsu94]

links zwo links zwo links zwo drei vier LINKS

[Tyler5774]

so how the fuck is this nazi

[Kayruul]

Some of the band members in Rammstein did prison time for not doing their Military duties in East Berlin.

[Ilovedownloads]

There are loads of translations using awful fonts and thats as awkward as it being in bad handwriting.

[zaps142]

i can't read the English

[chicNstu1992]

i feel stupid now, i thought links meant ants :(

[PeppyLaBitch]

to those saying this is a left song. remember nazier were socialists. im not saying anything bout rammstein, just wona point out that nazier were no dif from the soviets

[NiobeHarry]

@PeppyLaBitch its Nationalsozialismus.Not SOCIALISM.totally DIFFERENT.look it up :D

[aarontsmall1975]

The song was written due to the fact that the powers that be, had decided Rammstein's music was overly militaristic and right-ist/nationalistic (which is kind of frowned on in Germany, wonder why?)... This video/song is a response, a sarcastic one, suggesting that being militaristic & from the left is harmless... Note the use of several symbols used by the Russians in their occupation of Germany.

Yup, leftish militarism, no worries... Think about it

[smashballbrawler]

2:53 slight typo, you put trei instead of drei. Just pointing it out, not trying to be an asshole. Thumbs up still, nice translation.

[kilandi1803]

this song is great

im against anyone who says rammstein are nazi

[pegasBaO23]

this song is to show what team work can do , but to know that you have to see the video of this song

[Ribzz1]

[corvusoscuro]

this song has nothing to do with hitler

why do ppl keep thinking that

like most of there songs its for fun

[croeliminator]

they prefer communism!

[MusicDj167]

racism comments will be deleted..im sorry to mention.

[kyuubifox66]

@MusicDj167 Just like every racist person should be. But i guess you cant change that XD too bad though

[aarontsmall1975]

@MusicDj167

For the record, I'm Jewish...

From my understanding, this song is a response to the accusations that the music was overly nationalistic/militaristic (ie. right-wing, NSDAP-type)... This response is somewhat sarcastic, to the effect that there could not be ANY issue with them publishing music that was overly militaristic, provided it supported the left (ie. communism)

[Muhsaft86]

@aarontsmall1975

Actualy beeing left in germany just means sitting at the left side of the parliment. And on the left are always sitting the progressive parties, like for example the sozial democrats or the green patie, who have nothing to do with communism.

[aarontsmall1975]

@Muhsaft86

Yes, I realise that - but the point the band was making was that, as their music was deemed overly "militaristic" then it was obviously connected with the neo-nazi's. The band made a very good point here, music is music, but as to being on the right, is it any less scary than overly militaristic leftism (ie. communism)? The irony, plus the imagery is great - workers of the nest unite to overcome the invader.... I know many on the left are not communists, not what I'm saying.

[gendarkend]

@MusicDj167 ih8u8 didnt make a racist comment, its an observation but hes not sure so its a question of what he thought it meant.

[Maria29493]

@ih8u8 I read that the song is anti nazi.

[ih8u8]

@Maria29493 Yes, it is anti nazi, National Socialism is Far right politics and Communism is far left and they are saying "Links" meaning Left.

[SONBoomer]

"Links" stands for "left"...

This song was actually a proving towards the fans and critics that they're against nazism, as, following the lyric: "their heart beats left 2, 3, 4", meaning the spectrums of the political left side: probably liberalism (this one probably not, as the lyrics misses 1) socialism, communism, anarchism...

Ironically, they used the austrian "tsvoo" for 2, instead of the german pronunciation "tswei", which was most commonly heard in the time of the "Asluch"...

[Gwethon]

@SONBoomer

The austrian word tsvoo is used in germany in the army, because "tswei" and "drei" (2 and 3) have nearly the same sound.

[AeroFix94]

@ih8u8 nope!! they are not nazi or something! this is not a song by hitler

[CrystalNeptune]

@ih8u8 At one point in time a bunch of racist idiots kept saying that fans of Rammstein were Nazis, so Rammstein wrote this song as if to say, "Back off, we don't like Hitler!" The song basically says that Hitler wanted the Nazis' hearts to be on the right to separate them from the world[which is actually a true fact], and it's as if the band members are saying, "Our hearts are on the LEFT!" So they used the chant "Links 2 3 4" to say so.

[edyaoifangirl]

YEAH GERMAN PEOPLE R KOOL!!! my cozin is german ^-^ lol!!!

[honumaru15]

WHOOT 1ST COMMENT!!!anyway awesome job do you translate the songs or do you have a translatetor?cause ive been trying to learn german xD

[MusicDj167]

cmon dude-im German,so i understand this...^_^

The best way to learn german is to google"learn german"

or stay in germany.

[honumaru15]

sorry didnt know xD

THANKS haha theres possibly no way ill ever be able to go to germany though...xD

[MusicDj167]

Plz wait for Ein Lied....or maybe others :P

[honumaru15]

i will ^.^

[cainisme]

@MusicDj167 Elfen Lied - Epic

[bokuroker]

@MusicDj167 the best way to learn german, as any other language is to go to a german-speaking country, studying a language will never get you anywhere, trust me i have experience with languages ^^

[masterch33f09]

@MusicDj167 wait youre german like born in germany or what?

[tylerhaunted]

@MusicDj167 ah greatness

I'm actually planning on taking a vacation to Germany for several reasons, 1. I have ancestorial blood from Germany and want to visit the country I'm decended from 2. I find the culture and the land fascinating and 3. I may move there so want to make sure I actually enjoy the place first.... it would be kind of pointless to go to Germany and end up hating the place

[paperorplaztic2]

@MusicDj167 me too 85 percent

[Blackcountry7777]

@MusicDj167 How much German do you honestly think i will learn at the german beer festival

[throicfan]

@Blackcountry7777 Bro you at a german Beer festival, only word people know there is BEER

[Gungho73]

@throicfan actually its Bier. The language wouldnt be too hard to pick up, most of the English Language sprouts from Deutsch. I am enjoying it, I would recommend taking a class :D

[Vegabond13]

@Gungho73 The Norman Invasion pretty much decided things. We have a French and German words, but if it's something peasants have to toil with it's Saxon (German), but if its for the rich it's French. For example: swine in the field, pork on the table. Pretty much sums it up how English evolved from that point on =D German is for regular things, French is for fancy crap.

[Gungho73]

@MusicDj167 Actually staying in germany depending on where you live will affect your german vocabulary. based on region. And also, using a translator (for honumaru) will not work because a translator is only specifically what you ask for, it does not take into account that words will change depending. That may sound confusing to you. In the German language Der, Die, and Das all mean "the" but say, Die = feminine Der = masculine Das = neutral, for an example of what I mean. Enjoy it, ist prima!
