[goddessmidnight]

[BiohazardBunney]

Till has got to be a little bisexual.

[catlillith]

@BiohazardBunney possibly. 

[iKa0z]

[giaan2]

@thediomandgirlz what about a dislike?

[Firstday0101Lastdays]

@thediomandgirlz what happens if no one likes it?

[oneblood7411]

Wow went a long time without the translation until my friend told me what he's singing about. Not that I like the song any less, because it still kicks ass. Just a litle strange to find out I've been singin about a hermaphrodite all these years. Man ignorance can be bliss sometimes, but fuck it! I still love this song. And this band. Thanks for postin.

[Mrsfatblackchick]

Actualy there have been 10 cases of true hermaphrodites, they have ovaries and testicals, uturus, and prostate, a vagina and a penis, but one sex is dominate, still impsossible to have kids.

[ProblemOfInduction]

@chedarcheese123 Modern Pathology disagrees with you.

[xKingOf0x]

@10RomanU You mean the song, or what "zwitter" actually means?

[WilliamBrown93]

I swear to Till, I couldn't live without Rammstein.

[Inkbleedful]

Cool when you don't understand what they are saying until translated XD.

[DelSanchezIII]

Excellent!

[mrpyromaster1]

if a zwitter literally f*k'd themselves and had kids would it be a clone because 26 chromasomes from each parent

[chedarcheese123]

@mrpyromaster1 there has never been a true human hermaphedite. usually one part is more developed that the other, there is no evidence of a human born a fully functional parts for both.

[Grunge4ever1993]

I personally think this song is making fun of people who are obsessed with themselves by calling them hermaphrodites. Or it could just be about a he-she, lol,

[poison7in7disguise]

I like listening to Rammstein because my parents never know what they're saying ^_^

[trixiebellexx]

Can you all stop with your bullshit comments where you feel like you have to explain the lyrics, etc of the song. Just enjoy the fucking music!!!

[MinisterKGB]

Ich liebe rammstein, beide von mich

[89Coa]

Man i really liked this song,but now its just sick. I wish i never saw the lyrics.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa How's it sick?

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 well it's a dude who says "One for me (cock),one for you (cock)". I think that shows it.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa I take it you haven't listened to the early death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse. This is pretty tame compared to anything I've heard or seen.

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 Yeah,i know,but hey,this is kinda gay,or something even weirder.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa So? Are you homophobic or something?

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 I hate gays. Call me a Nazzi,i don't care,i think that the idea of two men kissing each other is just sick.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa That's just sad.

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 no it isn't. it's called "a healthy brain" Have a blast when your son brings you home his boyfriend.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa Like I said. Such a sad little person. I'd rate a pile of shit more highly than your life, please remove yourself from the gene pool so somebody else more worthy may breathe the air you are currently using, it's going to waste with you.

I will because I won't have a problem homosexuality. :)

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 Aaaaaand that proves it. You sucked a dick. Enjoy.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa Nah I just don't like bigoted pieces of shit.

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 like i said. Enjoy.

[Iceozo1]

@89Coa Don't have kids.

[89Coa]

@Iceozo1 thank you sir,you're very kind.

[intestineGrinder]

@89Coa Why the hell are you here again? A healthy mind to you, is a closed mind to all other people that aren't in your little cult. Get of this video if you have a problem with homosexuality, k? Rammstein respects homosexuals; does this bother you? Yes? Leave.

[enzoOAJB]

mierda mierda quien de aca lo que es español

[Ruedi90ify]

DIE SCHRIFT IST SCHEISSE



[NaziPunkRammstein]

i am so in love with myself

[rado3737]

3:29 Live in ..............

[AtheistMonster]

I think this is hilarious, fucking love Rammstein xD

[chindleymuffin]

I like the bit about the Hermaphrodite! :P

[Dartykal]

wow.. for one second i thought hermaphrodite was some kind of greek god lol

thanks for clarifyin guys

[hadesxspongebob]

@Dartykal actually, you're sorta right... Hermaphroditus was the Greek god of hermaphrodites, and effeminate men. XP He/she was a hermaphrodite his/herself... lol sorry I'm a geek but yeah XD

[Dartykal]

@hadesxspongebob haha thx :P

[TheArchitectOfDreams]

*head bangs* Zwitter Zwitter hope the police will leave xD

[Marcadagua]

Seven fuckin´ Justin Bieber´s fans voted "don´t like"

[holySANTAclauseCRAP1]

@Marcadagua  shut the fuck up with justin beiber!

[sweenkingandwow2]

@Marcadagua what have justin bieber to do with all this!!!!! its an whole fucking music genre that you even bring up justin bieber on a rammstein video is a fucking disgrace

[Marcadagua]

@sweenkingandwow2 Someone here don´t understand irony...

[sweenkingandwow2]

@Marcadagua irony is when you say something bad that you will do with him or her but it happens to you that was sarcasm you used :D

[bryjowiak1]

populist

[AndroidPhantom]

i think it's about narcissism using the tranny metaphor. the last verse sounds kinda sad to have happen to you, but this person doesn't care because he's the greatest gift to mankind. it also seems like a defense mechanism to all the fuck you's: "i'm just too awesome for 'em." or i'm bullshitting and it's just a literal zwitter thing

[darroni123]

SHEMALES

[shadowanddarkness]

Im seeing them may 20th... To bad alot of their songs are fucking weird. But most are pretty sick.

[drhycodan]

This song is actually about the Greek god Hermaphroditus. The opening lines are about the nymph Salmacis raping Hermaphroditus, and how they blend into one when Salmacis made her wish, "verschmolzen so zu einer Masse".

[Disterric23]

@drhycodan could be interpreted as a bisexual seen through a hermaphrodites eyes, who is also narcissistic either way awesome song haha

[coast3dg3]

7 people are not hermaphrodites

[sizerb123]

Lol who think rammstein lyrics are weiird? lol the persons who say that. are weiird theirselves.haha Rammstein rocks! Bland die besten sind ja Rammstein!!!!!!!! ZWitter Zwitter!

[sarahaudrey03]

Oh man, nothing like the soothing tones of Rammstein to get you going in the morning.

[Dragoon30100]

@sarahaudrey03 soothing!? o.O

[therealetorin]

Well, I find videos like this great! :) rammstein helps me learn The german language! :P and then anywords taht arent used i just put the peices together and i can make out phases of german speak

[phntazma95]

why does he say eesh? its ich

[dotchoo]

@phntazma95 "ich" is the standard, pronouncing it "isch" is collocvial/regional.

[phntazma95]

@dotchoo OOOOOOOOOOOO thanks man

[HappyIsFleeting]

@phntazma95 Really? REALY?!

[DakeyrastheSlayer]

words can't describe the feeling you get from playing THAT outro on guitar succesfully.

[GoRoyals100]

these are very, very interesting lyrics... Rammstein never seems to disoppoint me!!!!

[fuzzyguy123]

I don't have a problem with Rammstein. What I do have a problem with is the ignorant Americans who go around and blurt out the lyrics even when they're really inappropriate because they think they're being cool.

[wpkincaid]

Goddamn, crazy ass lyrics.

[TheWarRelic]

is das bin ich proper german? Is Till saying das because he is referring to zwitter?

is it das zwitter? or der, die?

[daggerGforcefahrer]

@TheWarRelic it's "der zwitter" nevertheless "das bin ich" is proper German because

"das bin ich" is a saying, it's used like "that's me", (one would say that too if he saw oneself on TV)

maybe "das" refers to the hole situation

[bryantherandom]

quick question for you german speakers how come it sounds like they're pronouncing "für" like the english word "fur" and then "Zwitter"sounds like they're pronouncing it both like (tsvih-tah) and (tsvee-tah) which is correct and why do they do this?

[daggerGforcefahrer]

@bryantherandom for good pronounciations you should use a online dictionary (I recommend leo.de), normally there is a voice output

[fuzzyguy123]

@bryantherandom

There's no "wa" sound in the German language. W's are pronounced like v's.

[bryantherandom]

@fuzzyguy123 I must've asked that earlier in the comments o.o please help me with my newest question below

[LPGivenUp19]

7 people hate Zwitters.

[bitterblue8]

I agree wholeheartedly with everything DerMeister said! :D

[killerdeathmetal18]

someone phoned me in my german class and all anyone could hear was this song

i got a detention

[IfinduIgetu]

@killerdeathmetal18 hahahahahahaha scheitern

[LPGivenUp19]

@killerdeathmetal18 LMAO

[toaotou]

i am so into this song (yah, yah.

the lyrics is actually really sexy

and plus till's voice ..

the whole thing is just so sensational

[excelisinsane]

haha! They have some weird lyrics <3

[EVERYVERSER]

^see Eddie Izzard^

[MaximA014]

T_T The song actually makes sense. :P Why don't you idiots go do your research first before dismissing this as weird. Mongrels.

[MsSunhappy]

haha, i want to learn german through songs but im not sure learning with rammstein will be approved by my teacher. :P

[scavengerrondz]

this song is actually about faggot people. they are the new "perfect" generation. hybrid between male and female. or just the reversion to primordial state. LOL. asexual reproduction. more energy efficient :D

[EVERYVERSER]

Well, im glad that you think of gay people as ok, (plz dont diss the straights), but gays are perfectly good with being theyre one gender thank you, most homo-men are, on average, perfectly indistinguishable in behavior and appearance from hetero-men.

and homo-women are exactly the same as above.

theyre not all camp gay, usually in the media they really want you to know if a gay character is gay, so they make them act (and look) the known stereotype.

gay men and women are happily men and women.

[EVERYVERSER]

tl;dr:

gay men are happy as being men.

gay women are happy as being women.

its is completely ludicrous to think that gender and sexual attraction are paired.

your confusing sex and sexuality. A common mistake.

its the driving theme behind most (innaccurate) hetro-normative/homo-normative behavioral stereotypes, that they are "one gender within the others body", this is not at all the case.

there are people who feel that they have the mind of the other gender, but they aren't always homosexual.

[rutzen21]

@EVERYVERSER not true, most gay people are @ a constant internal strugle until they rewire there neuropathways completely

[EVERYVERSER]

@rutzen21 the internal struggle comes from societies view of them, surprise, or shame. None of these is due to gender issues.

there's a big difference between homosexuality and gender dysmorphia.

[CastleXTV]

I'll make it easy for the non-German viewers.

This song is about Lady Gaga

[Pan0sTheGreek]

@CastleXTV same thing with me mate

[IntergalacticFetus99]

@CastleXTV Wow!!! OH EM GEE I LOVE LADY GAGA!!!! not.

[HAUEhuaheau91]

@CastleXTV Hahahaha I didn't see that one comming xD

[overlordplumo]

@CastleXTV strangely written years before her rise to fame....Rammstein is a band of prophets!

[jbarnhill77]

Rammstein has kept me sane all these years! I would have probably killed someone by now if it were not for them. I grew up listening to Scorpions( A German Rock Band) most of my life. Within the past 5 years I have been listening to In Extremo. They are from Germany also. German Bands are the best, most intense groups out there for me. I can relate to it more for some reason. Huh, must be my Anglosaxon Blood!!!!

[enzoOAJB]

@CastleXTV jajajajaja

[pnz4aufsh]

thats true

[Whistlejocket]

Very cool

[onewingedangel2]

POSSIBLY ONE OF RAMMSTEINS GREATEST !!

[aivh1395]

DAMIITTTT!!!!!!!!!why does rammstein songs have to be so fuking weird...awesome music but stupid lyrics...that suks...

[5seba56]

@aivh1395 thats how they are, and what made them famous.

[reddragons455]

@aivh1395 your totally right. i think im better of not knowing what their songs are about lol

[Thagnar1978]

Pretty good translation, still a few smaller things: At 0:49 it should be ... we melted into one mass (in German in this context this has the meaning of mush or pulp) At 1:36 it should be: ... one and one equals hermaphrodite / hybrid At 2:22 it should be I am alone but not lonely At 2:28: I kiss my reflection in the mirror in the morning.. Love Rammstein!! - Just weird - but fascinating

[TheProjectUltimatum]

Dude Zwitter really means hybrid not hermaphrodite but whatever is the same to me.

[Yuna425]

why traslating into hermaphrodite and not shemale? :O

[SABTERROR]

@Yuna425 because a shemale is a guy who turned into a girl and a hermaphrodite is someone with a dick and a vag

[darroni123]

@SABTERROR Shemale = girl with a dick or guy to a girl

[FEAR709]

eermmm i guess its way better if i dont know the translations for rammstein songs

[aivh1395]

@FEAR709 I KNOW RITE?!?!?! same here man im like...fuk yea...den i read the lyrics and im like...ahhh mannn...wtf?/

[OmniscientWarrior]

This is a good translation. Me personally, try to translate as close to word for word as possible. But then culture comes into effect and meanings are lost.

[Fab4Sunrises]

This is weird. I love it. 

[BIGJOHNX96]

somethings are just better in german lol all there songs are badass anyway

[rompompuss123]

this is just pure comedic metal :L LOVE it. <3

[jman1511]

wow. messed up lyrics but an AWESOME song either way!!

[DerMeister47]

I hate when people see their lyrics, like this song, and automatically think they are really wierd. None of the band members are wierd. Actually, if you watch some of their "In the making of.." music videos and various interviews of them, you can see how they really are. They all seem like really cool people to hang out and drink a beer with (I don't drink but if I did, it would be bad ass to drink one with Rammstein) I just think they write weird ass songs to really show how evil society is.

[BIGJOHNX96]

@DerMeister47 (applause) well said

[RugerMan73]

@DerMeister47 I hear you. Same people who would say this is creepy or weird or wrong would hear "Lola" come on the radio and say "oh! I love this song"

[DerMeister47]

@RugerMan73 Exactly. It seems there is too many ignorant hypocrites that think they actually know a lot about music.

[hansbekverbauer]

@DerMeister47 i agree. i guess they like to 'shock'. ppl can say about them their weird and stuff, but negative attention is also attention. besides their awesome good songs that not only have been played good but also have a lot if thinking in it, i think it is also the power behind their succes.

[jensypoops]

@DerMeister47 and how mad my country men can get :)

[Disterric23]

@DerMeister47 They do it to be provocative, thats what makes a good band, uniqueness, & the things they sing about do have relativity, but they are blown up to vex or incite something in people, atleast thats how i see it

[scarhunter92]

@DerMeister47 Spot on!

[narbagepl0x]

@DerMeister47 lol i know 9 month comment but i think that they make these songs as a joke.

[allnightdwight]

@DerMeister47 nah mate theyre just german aye

[VintageLewis]

Rammstein is the best thing the German's have done. The German Ozzy Osbourne!

[WentMillerGal15]

@VintageLewis I've always thought that Till Lindemann looks like Ozzy in some pictures and videos. Like the "Links 2 3 4 Volkerball" performance. I think he's a spitten image of Ozzy.

[TheProjectUltimatum]

Dude that freaking song is cool

[Razwithz]

lol everytime i start loving a rammstein song and search for the lyrics and what they say so i can sing along with it.... is stop singing :(

[wormwood438]

i love this song and this band! eins fur mich eins fur dich

[Toonzownz]

Rammstein!Rammstein!

[redsam888]

Savage!!

[EvolutionxUKx]

hmmm....

[TheLuciOsM]

GREAT LYRICS !

not so boring!! rammstein, made in germany !

die deutschen sind eben die besten, im fußball wie in der musik ;D;D

[MAJASAVIC13]

GEMINI :) IT S NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH THEM. I KNOW THAT THE BEST. THIS SONG IS SO TRUE.

[BELHaXoR]

... if it wasnt for the guitar as metal i wouldnt be listening to this... :o

Lyrics are a bit uh... disturbing... 

[bittergunowner12]

@BELHaXoR Its funny I didnt know what the lyrics meant until I looked up what Zwitter meant

[rhiannona11]

i totally agree with blackmesaboy

[JimmyThePinecone18]

awesome sounding song but very disturbing lyrics 

[xxlikexxomgxx]

THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING RAMMSTEIN SONG :D

So is 'Du Hast' <3333 (:

[revan1144]

well, personally i would say that hitler was brilliant, apart from the whole superior race thing... and attacking the soviet union

[piniatamurderur]

@revan1144 If hitler hadnt broken pact with the Russia, Axis wouldve won ww2

[HalloweenCookie]

just wanted to let you know that your translation is 100% correct. nice job =)

[killerdeathmetal18]

lady gaga ist eine zwitter

[bittergunowner12]

@killerdeathmetal18 Ya ya

[skillet6789]

oh...i thought it was supposed to be a song about twitter.....DAMMIT

[HalloweenCookie]

@skillet6789 LOL!!

[Icesis72]

now I understand where "zwitter ion" gets its name...

o.O yeah I'm a dork.

[I3obertB]

rofl i didnt know wat zwitter ment...........untill now

[behemoth666123]

not bad, but the translation isn't completely accurate

[MsSwedenRock]

Oh... Ich liebe Rammstein <3

My crazy German :P

[Rozac68]

you fucked up Idiots,this song has nothing to do with gay.Zwitter means a person has from his birth on a pussy and a dick.....that´s what the song is about...

[piniatamurderur]

@Rozac68 you put that nicely lol yeah its a person born with sexual traits of both men and women

very awkward i'd have to say, but luckily for them there are surgeries to remove the unesscesary part, but babies cant tell you if they want to be a man or a woman so i guess it'd be best for them to get the surgery later through life when ready

[Rozac68]

@piniatamurderur I agree.........I just wrote,what he sigs in the song,the translation is not bad,but also not very precisely

[DollyJlion]

Спасибо за перевод! Слушаешь песню годами, очень нравится и тут осознаёшь смысл...ШОК!!! :-)

[MorbidReligion]

Masturbation is a natural stress relieving activity, doesn't mean anyone's gay!

[danielm94437]

@MorbidReligion i kgb that and it relieves stress

[charliedclayton]

dude.....i loved this song till i figured out what it was talking about lol. i just want tell anyone that it means when i play it in the truck XD

[doublez456]

thank you so much

[19460cars]

wow i never knew this song is gay but ilike the tune

[MrTracer01]

@19460cars roflol its not gay if ya call that gay then youre also gay if you wank youreself :P

[cultshakere]
