I like it but I think the original German is better :) I found that's it's the same case with Rammstein's English version of Du Hast too - it's much better sung in the native tongue :)
If they didn't make songs in english then alot of ppl wouldn't know what the song is about. I first heard it in german and I thought it had something to do with a birthday party... maybe a really screwed up birthday song??
song is way better in german, but i cant complain i love this band regardless of what they sing, all their music is great, and plus their all super sexy ;)
hm, It's part English and part German. That's annoying. And I already knew the German version, and because I know one version first (for long time), I prefer the version I knew first. Not only with different languages of one band, but also with covers. That's just what I have...
I don't speak German language at all, but.. non of the English versions sound better, not all of them ever sound good, so guys - stick to your language
@dangyraco I don't speak German at all too, but honestly, German music is really cool. I suppose English versions are only translations so we can know what they're saying.
@dangyraco hey ok they want people to know how to speak german to english k stay to ur language k i can speak german and english and so much more and it doesnt mean u have to be a douche and say stay to ur language k get a life kid
i kinda feel like english is almost too soft of a language to properly express this songs... it doesnt sound so demonic anymore... and the english lyrics dont flow as good with the rhythm either. I really prefer working on my german to understand their songs than listening them in english...
im broken between the english and german version of this song sure german is the original version and everyone loves the original but i also think the beat and rythem flow better with english... thumbs up if your having the same problem
well i like german better then english i am a great fan of oomph but the english album truth or dare doesnt fit in fore me i more like it german and they must make a new album in german i know they make good english songs but i more prefer germn ^_^ and i am from holland :P
@nightslayer23 I just hope they just keep doing what they do best and I don't mind a dual language band they're rare especially at this talent level OOMPH ROCKZ!
i always like the original versions of all songs in other languages, (the english version of Labyrinth sucks -_-) but it was interesting to hear this one in english. it better show the relationship of the "hide and seek" game that this almost seems to be based off of than the original (other than the counting, and the mother being blindfolded) as this song states "ready or not, i'm comming" in the chorus. sort of chilling...videos of demonic children usually are ^^
omg this kinda sucks xD i dont even speak german and it sounds soo much better in the original. why does it have to be in english, no one has to understand the lyrics to be able to appreciate the music..
The English version is shit in every way possible. Can't blame the band though. The rest of the world elected to narrow their tastes to radio-friendly, English crap.
@number1historybuff why do you speak english if you hate it so much? i seriously see no difference besides the tones of voice which pop up rarely. i love both versions.
@TheHappiSoldier Lyrics are changed to improve flow from language to language. The flow isn't the same in the english version. The chorus "Ready or not I'm coming" doesn't flow that great with the music, but that could just be me. ^_^
@ChloeVilar WELL the actual translation is "Eyes open, Im coming". lol. Regardless, i think its retarded that people have started posting their music in english. In my oppinion, it just ruins the whole song....
@dubraybuckeye13 I disagree, I think it's very interesting to see what songs sound like in different languages. This isn't the best example, but there are a lot of songs that sound great in different languages. All personal preference, though.
I liked the German better. He was more expressive, I think. Or maybe it's just some quality of the language that adds a darker tone to the music. No offense intended to you German and German-speaking folks out there if that seems insulting. I can't speak it, but I definitely preferred it in German.
@pukcikpakcik Well, if you translate it literally it means "open eyes", "watch out" or something like that, but since the song talks about hide and seek, "ready or not" makes more sense.
The song is written in German and literate translation is not that good...better would be to rewrite the song a bit just to make the words fit the melody
I wouldn't say it is "bad" in english. Its just that we are used to the german version, and then when he says "ready or not im coming" it is wordy, one of those instances when english is wordier than german. So it sounds weird, apart from the chorus i think it translates pretty well.
The english version is very wordy, but it has to be to get the point across. That being said, I believe the German version is better; but I think the English version is much better than a lot of other English songs.
i dont see why people have such a grudge against this version, granted the german one is better but thats because it was meant to be sung in german, english words dont quite fit the rhythm sometimes, its still good nontheless though
@Missfantasygeek The child is saying "One, two, thee, four, Cornerstone. Everything must be hidden." In exact translation. But 'Cornerstone' is the name of a game in Germany that's equivalent to our 'Hide and Seek'. Hope that helps. :)
@Jozsef86330 well i dont remember some of it.... but i guess i could tell a little of it. well this songportrays the time when the children were still with there parents. but later after they kill their parents they are on the run from the government and kill all the way. but eventually they are caught and sent to death.
I'm Mexican.. And I prefer the German version.
