I just Created a Subtitled and Interpreted Version of Spieluhr. I believe it Breaks New Ground. I must warn: it may cause you to cry. Please share it with the Ladies. Please Click on RisePatriot (below) to Experience my Worship of Rammstein: English Subtitled and Interpreted WITH old German imagery: SONNE, DU HAST, ICH WILL, and SPIELUHR

[Black1tty33]

This song put's me to sleep each night :) <3

[danyman88]

the lyrics are hauntingly beautyfull

[xxmansonloverxx]

In my language we class we have to do a project on a country of our choose including music food dance etc. My group choose Germany so were gonna sing this song in the original German :) Spieluhr is based on a tradiotonal Nursery rhyme which makes it even more interesting. Beautiful song to top it all off

[framazago]

@xxmansonloverxx Hoppe, hoppe, Reiter

[sheetz74]

I like the solo at 3:30 to 3:46

[wolf97102]

this is the most bone chilling song by rammstein

[mopasaurus]

its a gd song but the intro makes me a bit confused its like he says im a hairy minge short and shy was a bit stoned at the time but dnt sound much different haha rammstein owns cheers pal =]

[MrBanBeta]

Ugh im so sick of chuck norris World Of Warcraft ads. Like fk off already.

[TheDarkElfValenDreth]

@MrBanBeta Don't look now but I see a roundhouse kick coming your way bub ;)

[MrBanBeta]

@TheDarkElfValenDreth Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo.

[Imiface]

From 3:15 it gives me the chills... I miss the old Rammstein.

[BeatlesRock44]

is german hard to learn?

[insectsinmyclothes]

@BeatlesRock44 It depends how many languages you already know, how good at languages you are, and which language/s you're starting from :)

[Argom42]

@BeatlesRock44 no

[voivode24]

@BeatlesRock44 if you speak english or spanish, you already speak alot of german :D

[wolf97102]

@BeatlesRock44 i have been learning for a year and i can make a full convo in german, its just you have to study it every day, word for word, sentence by sentence

[UAGhostrider]

@BeatlesRock44 not if you are norwegian :)

[begrackled]

So... music box = tin drum?

[redploofster]

@Beiine is Totensonntag a holiday in Germany?

[LoveWeekendsdaughter]

@redploofster Totensonntag is the day when people go to visit their dead loved ones. Totensonntag means the Sunnday of the dead.

[MikeSV1989]

Nobody turns death into such poetry like Rammstein. RAMMSTEIN FÜR IMMER!

[Zimon00Productionz]

This is music!

[tjordulf]

Incidentally, while I was in Germany a couple of months ago, my German friend, played me a Band called "Unheilig" (unholy), Seriously, if you like R+ then give these a listen, I would try a 1st Listen of a song called "Das Meer", but try to find the studio version, the live versions are all recorded on cellphones and sound Scheiße!, They are slightly lighter than R+ but still ballsy.

[Uberdah]

@tjordulf Wow, I wasn't prepared for that. I'd already had Unheilig recommended to me on account of my love of Rammstein, and I tried a ton of their songs, but none of them really did anything for me. Somehow I missed that masterpiece. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

[tjordulf]

@Uberdah No Problem my friend.

[darkmelodi]

♥!



[dannycorser]

I liked this song before i knew what the words were ! I am 52 and like all kinds of music . I think Ramm. is really different ! Thanks for posting . corser !

[Zephyesa]

@dannycorser yeh same, I saw this first with no translation and the cobination of Tills gutteral teutonic deep growls and the others doing a falsetto impression of a kids voice was pretty powerful and interesting combination of sound, I am now attempting to learn german therough rammstein, but its not easy as they seem to run alot of words into each other very fast, four words will often sound just like one.

[tjordulf]

@Zephyesa Actually dude, If you check out the album cover I think it actually is a kid doing the "Hoppe, Hoppe, Reiter" part, In fact, hold on one second, Quote, "Child's Voice "Spieluhr" By Khira Li.", I like the fact that this is from an Old German nursery rhyme, it gives the song depth and authenticity. Nice one that you are learning German from Rammstein, though I'd maybe get one of those learn German discs too ; D

[Zephyesa]

@tjordulf Yeh but live it looks like the guys r singing this falsetto, or maybe they r miming it probably, either way its a good sound to counter Tills hard ars deep germanic growls, yeh I love german language, german country, germans,german army wehrmacht from WW2( not the nazis of course) evrything german, I wish I was one.

[ToastGod1]

MA NEW FAV SONG BABY my girl needs to hear this asap but its like 2 am and shes sleepin sad face her and i shall sing it together hawhawhaw

[MikeSV1989]

RAMMSTEIN! THE BETHOVENS OF ROCK'N ROLL !

[patrolmostwanted]

@MikeSV1989 Of METAL, not Rock'n'Roll!

[MikeSV1989]

@patrolmostwanted

Of course Metal. I didn't wanted to hurt the feelings of a headbanger brother! I just meant Rock in general and that of course included Metal.

[dischord1]

BitConfigs translation is about as close as it gets

[sillygrl23]

Pardon my lack of german, but what is Totensonntag?

[dischord1]

@sillygrl23 yea Totensonntag doesnt really translate to english, we dont have a word for it

[sillygrl23]

@dischord1 Oh okay. 

[MikeSV1989]

@dischord1

It's like Sunday of the dead.

[oherregud]

@sillygrl23 I guess the direct translation would be Death sunday, but Iam Swedish, although german and swedish is very alike they do differ so i could be wrong.

[ArcticFox72]

@sillygrl23 Literally it translates to Dead Sunday. Totensonntag is a religious holiday in Germany.

[sillygrl23]

@ArcticFox72 Thanks, that is really interesting. So what is it about, how do they celebrate it, etc?

[Pinkfacedmonkey02]

When I first heard this song, I thought Spieluhr meant playtime, like recess. Now that I know it means music-box, I realize playtime makes no sense with lyrics like "mit dem Spieluhr spielen." plays with the music-box. I like listening to Rammstein, since I cannot travel to Germany, it gives me a chance to brush up on my German language skills.

[dogid3]

i love this band!

[TeamFortressFlicks]

It doesn't matter how hardcore you are. This song will make you cry.

A song deserving of many more views...

[BitConfig]

Can someone German please confirm that these lyrics are correct? Thanks

[mAXtAXIbOY]

@BitConfig Yes, they are

[BitConfig]

@mAXtAXIbOY Thanks, one day I hope to learn German, it's such an awesome language.

[mAXtAXIbOY]

@BitConfig You can learn a lot by Rammstein

[Rabidbadger011]

@BitConfig They're all correct, but Totensonntag should be translated as Dead Sunday.

[joeandtay2]

@BitConfig just check out herzeleid the official(i hope so) site. its where most of their lyrics and such are posted. you can confirm it there. hope this helps.

[dirt3030]

thank you Rammstein for making math homework bearable again.

[srjonathan2909]

si yo tambien cuando muera quiero esta rrola en mi funeral y con mariachi como le gusta a rammstein..........y gracias a todos a los que les gusta rammstein

Am I the only one who hears "Hoppe hoppe Reiter. I cant take this now Reiter"?

[FlippyCupycake]

eigentlich heißt es "poche poche weiter" nicht Hoppe Hoppe reiter.. :D

das würde jah sonst keinen Sinn ergeben ^^

[Fowli]

@FlippyCupycake

Nur blöd, dass das Kind "Hoppe hoppe Reiter singt".

[SuperAmyRose01]

Amazing:)

[95Blackwings]

Love this song :)

[reaper2963]

Till's voice at the beginning is just so chilling and electrifying. I love it

[MikeSV1989]

@reaper2963

Till's voice is very strong!

[therny15]

[Evenbury]

I just listened to this song 30 times in a row! Cant express how deep it is... Love it

[1stefansem]

[lethax1]

So the kid is basicly a zombie

[TheBigShamus]

@lethax1 no its stilll alive when they bury it and dig it up

[lethax1]

@TheBigShamus Only thing i don't understand is how he survived months without oxygen

[therny15]

@lethax1  his heart stoped beating and it started again mouths later

[dlaczego009]

3:16, the word 'Totensonntag', made me think... if toten means dead and sonntag is sunday, will totensonntag be refering to the Bloody Sunday?

[MysteryNotes]

@QuazerDude You just had to go and jinx it didn't you >.>

[FLooDyNice]

Who the heck disliked this? o.O

[DRroudz4lot]

I think this translation has been done with google translate XD but great song!

[Marun1982]

10 years ago when I served my country in the military (I was about 18 yrs), and many nights spent on guard duty with Rammstein, helped me push through it all. Today I recalled the many songs, although I have a melody and words in German (which I do not know: D)I forgot translations

excellent video and channel, and you have my sub

btw, the most beautiful song

Greetings from Serbia

[Suargify]

@TheBigShamus Of course people would focus on the negatives, even when they aren't there.

[TheBigShamus]

@Suargify yeah thats true

[RomanianRammsteinFan]

[CreedofDarkness]

[EagleDesertHawks]

So, here is the song:

A small child plays dead, they bury the child alive, the child wakes up during a winter night, they sing to the music box, someone heres the music box in the graveyard, they dig the kid up.

EPIC

[JenLuvzRammstein]

instead of a samll human,its supposed to be a Small Child

[Immafishstick]

that's poetry right there

[mykiller750x]

danke! danke! beim Spielen, Singen, Tanzen und Lachen, so zufrieden sei!! und du?

[ToxicInfluenceify]

@QuazerDude Ha, Since You Said That Someone Just HAD To Be a Non Conformist and Dislike Hahhah;D

[Flangebenders]

Sublime

[Kevin323gaw]

What can i said..Awsome

[ToraShadowFox14]

Rammstein is so epic, there are no words to describe them and no bands to compete with them. Rammstein ftw >:D

[dangocutie]

@QuazerDude Well, unfortunately there is one now......

[ThomasTheGlitcher]

@dangocutie He must be buried in the snow with this song playing on a music box.

[brumwolf]

How awsome are these guys? 

[BUCKSHOTman123]

[1eins12zwei23drei3]

[mastereddeath]

@QuazerDude sadly, that isnt true anymore. there is one dislike. though why anybody would want to dislike this song is beyond my understanding. they are f**king idiots.

[shyuebrady]

@QuazerDude Guess Someone Needs To Meet Chuck Norris. (That 1 dislike)

[BloxEzio3]

@shyuebrady FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU! D8{

[TheKreutzDK]

If I die young I want this song played at my funeral, if I die old, I want this song played at my funeral :D

[TheGenX1979]

Justin bieber likes to be gangraped by the jason brothers, he takes it up the ass

[DarkkGenesis]

this ''person'' who disliked it , will be buried alive, with a Spieluhr in hands

[LightGloom]

fk u Justin Bieber for the dislike >_< !

[pyroninja4]

damn, i bet this song has like 5-6 different meanings/translations. Damn. SOMEONE WOULD GET A TON OF VIEWS IF THEY FOUND THE MEANINGS (HINT HINT) *coughs* BEIINE

[Aaron2ownage]

@pyroninja4 im not 100% sure on this but i think its an old german nursery rhyme like hilf mir! :D

[sandorificus1]

the child's voice gives me chills O_o

[bloodyfication]

@sandorificus1 this is the voice of Khira Li Lindemann the daughter of Richard just in case you didn't know :)

[mateusz1945]

hoppe hoppe = up and down? lol

[cerberusthehunter]

@mateusz1945

It's slang for up and down, as in the movement when you're riding a horse.

[markodrdmx]

@mateusz1945 its like saying that he is riding a horse

[Abysmaltormentor]

@mateusz1945 actually the English prozaic translation of the German nursery rhyme says "Bumpety bump, rider", which sounds totally gay, not even in the cool way, and therefore is completely ineligible for a song by Rammstein. It can be found on google as well :)

Grüsse aus kaltem Finnland!

[yetawielileo]

I feel the "Mein Herz schlagt nicht mehr weiter" because sometimes I feel dead inside, like not living, just existing...A corpse walking!!...lol Great song, random comment!! ;D

[angel4sure]

The riff is the shit. ^_^

[sk8folife9]

whin i die this will be played at my funeral

[darthbane951]

@sk8folife9 i agree with you

[Khyrid]

@sk8folife9 Except what you don't realize is that how you die will be an asteroid hit where you live while all your family and friends are at the ground zero, so you will have no funeral.

[Garett2013]

@sk8folife9

I would choose Ohne dich.

[avatarlol]

@sk8folife9 with a musicbox, right?

[yakov6327]

MATTBOBVV There are the BEST band in the world

[SpreadingDARKNESS]

@yakov6327 is the BEST band in the world!!!!!!! not one of XDDDDDD

[MATTBOBVV]

Rammstein is one of the best bans in the world!

[CreedofDarkness]

G.L.R. Got to Love Rammstein... this has got to be one of their best songs in my opinion

[FullMetalFurbee]

@CreedofDarkness i personally think this whole album, and the song Seemann are their best works.

[papajack222]

mein got!!!! the chorus!!!!!!!

[bryantherandom]

can someone explain to me how "Und auf der Erde singt das Kind" translates to "And the child sings on the ground".... wouldn,t the correct translation be "and on the ground sings the child" or is there some rule (or something to that effect) that I don't know about in the German language?

[Albukhshi]

@bryantherandom

they both mean the same thing. so both are correct translations. the word order is a bit changed though.

[bryantherandom]

@Albukhshi lmao thanks ^_^ no I feel kind of stupid though :P
