Spiel Mit Mir - Rammstein Lyrics and English Translation

[MEYanZav]

I hope Rammstein doesn't ruin itself like Metallica did.

[Deadmaumartyn]

INCEST!

[MrHowru43]

Did whoever was singing mention "forty-nine fajitas"? Childhood obesity, here we come! (I know that what was said was different, but it sounded like "forty-nine fajitas.")

[twilight23gardens]

This song is defiantly about two brothers. The singer in the beginning represents one of the brothers and Till represents the other. Why would they have two different singers both sing from the sisters point of view? Plus that whole verse about "white dreams" and "shake leaves from trees" points towards two males.

[InkDemon5446]

he is actually talking about a boy and his brother, NOT a girl

[MrWhitewolven]

All clues point this song is about gays, again, I remember man gegen man, y make gay songs, I love rammstein , but, it shook me when it said , father mother child, shake the leaves from my tree, white cloud, and when brother was in pain and faces the wall

[96WackoXJacko96]

some of the most fucked up songs sound so good

[spanovich]

I have tried to look at this from 2 different perspectives. For years I've tried to imagine the ways the lyrics would work for the person speaking them to actually be a woman (sister). YEARS! And that verse about under the navel in the branches, a white dream, come hold tightly, and shake the leaves from the tree. Come on. Please give me a detailed description of how this works from a female perspective and I'll agree, if nobody can, I don't think years more of pondering will provide the answer.

[ShinodaLPDavidson]

They're not nazis, but they have fucked up lyrics....

[pichardo25]

the rhythm of this song reminds me so much to Prince of Persia Warrior Within

[barbararobek]

@pichardo25 i know right!!! :D it's amazing! :D

[ohmigoditsL]

haha das ist geill:)

[SangoTheHoe]

There isn't really an argument. It's two brothers. The person singing is telling the brother to "hold tightly" and "shake the leaves from the tree for me." I'm sorry but that's pretty obvious that it's two boys.

[RattPoison80]

@SangoTheHoe definitely agreed

[naka7a98]

when i said this to my little brother and told him what it means he was like O_O

[GtForLife123]

I get it!

[gxorgx666]

heyyyyyyyyy this audio has a fucking preset in the equalization .-. the basses rising and go down .-.

[cathaflemning89]

@gxorgx666 Yeah I just thought it was my audio but not!! -.-

[theShadyStan]

@sikkmage81 we havent played with our brothers cuz maybe we dont have one

[darkling2222]

I'm not sure if this is suppose to be gross or just really sad. I'm a bit naive. Would someone mind explaining it?

[No05Da05]

@darkling2222 this song - like many other rammstein songs - shows a person with absurd psychic problems (desire for incest). it is one of the great things about rammstein that they write songs about topics nobody else would ever dare talking about. (of course, they also like shocking people)

[darkling2222]

@No05Da05 Thank you

[IluvNinjaKitten3]

...My first thought is Germany and Prussia from Hetalia...

[Tykilover]

@IluvNinjaKitten3 Yes. Just yes.

[Dermetzgermeister6]

@IluvNinjaKitten3 I was thinking of Belarus and Russia LOL

[pokemonfreak12100]

@IluvNinjaKitten3 thats what brought me here and thats where i learned that song from..it was from a tribute of them

[MissBadGirl95]

family games LOL

thumb up if you can't stop nodding your head

[abfhj]

is that backing track the one from age of empires?

[lichterderdeutschlan]

8 people got headaches trying to learn german

[SamTiapn420]

ha mein hintern ist geil

[EnglandsAngelLand]

This song reminds me of religious children (hence Brother) playing hide and seek...

[superramennoodlejunk]

This is what Kashmir would sound like if Robert Plant was molested and spoke German.

[Jorzef2]

WTF!!

[3BleachDeyZ]

spiel its game and play?



[xfaggotxmaggotx]

@3BleachDeyZ Yep, just like how in French jeu can mean game and play.

[meer989]

@3BleachDeyZ das Spiel is the game... and spielen is the verb.. in the song is used in the imperative form, so it's spiel :)

[Blaze0Devine]

Its about hot sex with your older brother, i wish i had an older brother. im just stuck with a smelly gross anoying 10 year old. dammat -:(

i think incest is hot if both of them like it! hail the alien gods!

[blackhorse099]

@Blaze0Devine what the fuck???

[Jeromepsy001]

@Blaze0Devine jeez thats disgusting!

[SC1337]

@Blaze0Devine that's really kinky i like it

[zachariah212]

@Blaze0Devine  You either have a serious problem or have been watching tooo much ouran highschool host club :p

[MrJetskaa]

Its about sexual abuse;brother to brother because of the lack of parental love etc

[destury119]

I hope this about childhood games... not... you know... o.O

[VashZwingliSwissLove]

My brother and I's song. Love you bebo!

[cwooddamerk]

turnz me on a new level

[cwooddamerk]

woooooww



[SFCuse]

This is Jamie and Cerseis song

[diemuschificker]

such a mess up song

[TheKapitan98]

....Well then.

Danke Gott only I speak German in my house xD

[shadowsacredify]

GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shadowsacredify]

This song is very disturbing because i have 2 brothers

[Snarklepus]

@shadowsacredify

Doubal the fun :P

[FeelingSoNyappy]

The guy in the beginning has such a sweet, soft voice... But what he's saying is kinda fucked up O.o I love this song...

[lathenpimpin]

hold on is this guy talking about having sex with his brother? wtf! ?

[ripdbd6604]

@lathenpimpin No Till speaks in first person in all is songs but he writes his songs looking threw the eyes of another person in this case he is looking in the eyes of the sister who wants to sleep with her brother! If you took all his songs seriously Till would be gay, a murderer, herm, dead child, child molester, rapist he has sang so many fucked up songs..

[zachariah212]

@ripdbd6604 i thought it was two brothers ???

[ripdbd6604]

@zachariah212 No its a sister and a brother..

[chuggaaconroysfan5]

@ripdbd6604 Nein

[ejr161]

@zachariah212 could be either, doesn't really matter. It's the concept of incest that the song focuses on.

[zachariah212]

@ejr161 true :D

[xEternalSlumberx]

@ripdbd6604 You left out necrophiliac and cannibal. :P

[ripdbd6604]

@xEternalSlumberx lmao yea i forgot about Mein Teil and Heirate mich

[Smythful]

@ripdbd6604 of course "Spiel Mit Mir" (play with me) certainly doesn't help to reinforce confidence of any sense of normality in Rammstein, between that and the lyrics.

On a related note, why do all the bands I listen to always have such strange lyrics???

[TheVaporeonrules234]

@ripdbd6604 In that case... This song fits belarus far too well.

[altadorknight]

Thank god my parents can't speak German.

[UAGhostrider]

@altadorknight i let my mom see this vid and she just said that it is many brothers who are missused,

[AniMageNeBy]

@UAGhostrider Your mom was wrong.

[xMadameMurder]

Lovely song about cannibalism, incest, domination-sex, and weird malformed babies...

Thank Rammstein for music that has lyrics that the only person within my household can understand is myself <3

[HowlerTheWolfie]

O-o uh, at first it sounded like an orgy.

[eiffel65fan09]

fuckin gross song

[Achmodethefallen]

woow

[mehniss]

gay ._.



[lolpwndmadafa]

best song from rammstein!!!

[Lady009Funk]

Rammstein :D Wirklich die einzige Band, die selbst aus einem Lied über Inzest noch was geiles machen kann!! ;) ich meine schaut sich mal einer diese gekonnten Metaphern an. =D

[superninja691]

ummmmm what?



[YoungCanadianGuy]

5 Bieber fans were hung by Till.

[multifluffeetalks]

@YoungCanadianGuy YOU MEAN 1900 NOW SOO DANG IT!!!!!!

[Metalmined]

[zortchik]

I would've never guessed... THE FUCK???

[sikkmage81]

[xraccoon]

@sikkmage81 LOL

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

@sikkmage81 *stares at the likes/dislikes*

...

NOPE.AVI

[livingdeadgrl18]

I've yet to come across a Rammstein song I dislike.

[diemuschificker]

this is a effed up song

[LPGivenUp19]

It seems that some of their most addicting songs are creepy ones: Tier, Spiel Mit Mir, Mein Teil, Laichzeit...

[TheNeverEndingAge]

@LPGivenUp19 Don't forget "Ich tu dir weh" :)

[LPGivenUp19]

@TheNeverEndingAge nah, that song is about BDSM. I don't find it creepy.

[DianeeRammstein]

HOW dare you to thumbs down this awesome song?!??!!?!? :O

[MrBravo048]

rammstein Felsen

[gunxgobang]

Was that Till in the beginning?

[DoktorPerverso]

@gunxgobang

Yes!

[gacktlover23]

HAHA WOW This is a friggin awesome song! You wouldn't get away with this in America! -_- Amazing!!!

[KannibalKorpz666]

Jigsaw: I want to play a game with you

Til linderman: Father, mother, child?

Jigsaw: (loses control of bowels)

[beank6]

@teufelfaust135

Jigsaw: wanna play a game

Till: hell yeah

Jigsaw: O____O

[rammsteinTOtheMAX]

@beank6

Till: Lets play a game >:)

Jigsaw: Noo, no thank you :o

Till: Oh yess >x)

[Hatsunemiku1997]

@Iiamthatoneweirdkid naw its not scary its FRIGGIN AWESOME. Especially to a hetalia fan who reeealy likes Germancest yaoi :3

[teamswitzerland221]

@Hatsunemiku1997 FUCK YES! GERMANCEST FTW!!!! <3 teehee, had to get that out, sorry. I knew I couldn't be the only Hetalian on this vid :3

[emostuds]

@teamswitzerland221 haha there are more hetalians than you think ;)

[liamthatoneweirdkid]

Scarey stuff, man.

[wildcaterpie]

Someone was screwing around with the audio on this, the sound literally goes up and down like a bounce. Terrible.

Don't mess with the darn song, it was perfect the way it was recorded!

[blakwidow737]

...........I will forever be disturbed by the lyrics of this song -.-'

o well :P it's still awsome

[kedde1009]

I think the lyrics is wrong. "Spiel ein Spiel mit mir" is "Come play with me" 'cause Till sings afterwards "Vater, Mutter, Kind" which is "Dad, Mom and Child". And I think we all know how we played that. It's just me there thinks that. I could be wrong.

By the way if my English sucks don't judge me XD

[WeirdPunky]

@kedde1009 Literally is "Play a game with me", I studied german for 6 years and that is the literal translation but it could be a musical solution, to make sure that the words suit with the music and things like that... :)

[kimdpetersen]

@WeirdPunky You might have studied german for 6 years - but you still got it wrong. Zu Spielen - is playing *or* game-playing. When children want to play with each other, they ask Willst du mit mir Spielen? Do you want to play with me? Literal translations often fail.

[WeirdPunky]

@kimdpetersen Ok, but is not much different from what I said. Anyway, the meaning of those words in the song is "play with me at dad, mother and son", this is what I wanted to say and I didn't want to teach something to somebody, just gave my version basing on things that I've read about this song.

[DoktorPerverso]

@kedde1009

yes, you are wrong,...he says: play a Game with me,....but he means: play with me

"Du hast", has two meanigs: you have, and you hate,... of course not in the sentence: du hast mich gefragt

In this sentens it means you asked me.

Its difficult to undersand for someone, who is not speaking German language.

sorry for my bad engish:-)

greetings from Austria

[Deathra23]

@DoktorPerverso i thought hasst=hate and hast=have

[DoktorPerverso]

@Deathra23

yes, that’s Wright,...I just wrote only "hast" because he wrote it in the video too ( but ),...what I mean is: "hasst" and "hast" sounds the same when you speak it, but have different meanings, and you can only differentiate them when you hear it in context with the whole sentence, and Rammstein is playing with those words and meanings (very brilliant)

Du, du hast, du hast mich = you, you have, you have me

Du, du hasst, du hasst mich= you , you hate, hate me

[Tehcommenter100]

oK IS THIS A GAY SONG?

[Mikyzo86]

@Tehcommenter100 no -.-

[88daadaad88]

@Tehcommenter100 it'sgay AND incest! :D I'm not saying you are or aren't, but don't be one of those homophobic idiots. It's a song, deisgned to stretch the boundaries of society's view of what is 'acceptable.' Much like most of Rammstein's songs. (Weiner Blut, Mein Teil, Rammstein, Kuss Mich, you get the point.)

[Ryuzaki9322]

Good thing for rammstein. Normal metal doesn't cut it for me anymore :/

[ganonthegreat827]

is that laughing in the backround or something ...else...

[santossdouglass]

I don't speak german but I love this fuckig son!!!!

[XxSickAsMySecretsxX]

What gloriously fucked up lyrics. Thank god my parents don't speak German.

[DemonicaaD14]

@XxSickAsMySecretsxX my mother CAN speak some german and she has seen and listen to the songs i listen to... and she does not really care about it.

[FoxLadify]

just LOVE this song... always loved it :D

[TailledFox]

To me.. the most brutal song and the best message is Laichzeit .... thump up who agrees

[ShinobiRonin19]

German's are weird.

[cordfluidnevoie]

@ShinobiRonin19 Japanese are weirder.. but i like both !

[EMO9398]

@ShinobiRonin19 nah, im german and all i can say is...Rammstein is different from the rest of germany..but I like rammstein :3

[Spaz645]

put's a whole new spin to the term "brotherly love"...<3 rammstein!

[Leminid]

@Spaz645 eww I'll never look at my brother the same again1!!1!!!!!one

[1029disturbed]

@Spaz645 i think hes talking about two brothers, im not sure.

[Spaz645]

@1029disturbed ....that's the joke >.>...

[brettrobertbennett]

i would i RAMMSTIEN was around when hitler was out would we all be speajing German right now

[Mulitfrog]

WINCEST

[australianforlife]

The Music is Bad ass but i don't get the lyrics

[razebrazzi]

@australianforlife it's about incest

[australianforlife]

@razebrazzi i noticed that about allot of their songs.....wonder if i should be worried lol

[Mulitfrog]

@australianforlife It's about incest.

[ManFromTheForest]

I've just reasently "found" Rammstein and find their music great. One thing is the lyrics, they say things, but don't usually say wether things are good or bad, nor what the band thiks about them. Word "Me" in these songs doesn't usually seem to refer to Till as a person, but it makes the stories seem more personal. And that foces the listener to go trough them and pass his own judgement.

[jewel11]

They rocked this song live. :D

[MadDuckInc151]

Is that Till singing in the beginning? It sounds like Flake.

[ebtricks]

@MadDuckInc151 Nope, not at all.

[MadDuckInc151]

@ebtricks I was just saying it sounds so much softer than Till's usual singing voice.

[ebtricks]

@MadDuckInc151 JA.

[GingerTheArcanine123]

@MadDuckInc151 I thought it was Flake at the beginning too. Huh.

[JokkePotamus]

Fuck this song is sick. Second song about incest on Sehnsucht, yet this so much more creepier.

[pvsg1990]

crazy lirics i wonder what he means with "white dreams" and hold it tight and shake the leaves, or share the same bed, or lets play a game. i hope is not what i am thinking. but good song i like how it sounds

[nihilus1224]

The opening until Till starts singing sounds kinda Pink Floydish in a way. Pink Floyd usually does it with a phone ringing, alarm going off, or people laughing, or screaming. This has like moaning, and laughing. Great song.

[iluvagothkenny]

I am cumming to this song, oh man

[SerphimSloth]

I still bait to this song... lol oh well

[GABRIEL90470]

i like this video , i like this lyrics , i like this band!!

[Colethecon]

Incest FTW????

[IfinduIgetu]

Anfang klingt wie der Anfang zu Jurassic Park

:)

[michelle19872007]

love rammstein my mom thinks im crazy but likes some of the music. She is clueless on some of his words till i tell her

[Sims3ComeUndone]

Which one starts out as a piano? I CAN'T FIND IT!

[Drunkenbatproduction]

@Sims3ComeUndone klavier, it actually means piano in german :p

[pvsg1990]

@Sims3ComeUndone klavier is piano

[ITIarijuana]

this song is twisted and perverted... yet... i... keep... replaying... it.......

[jRAY1772]

ramstein is the god of music thank you zeus

[nasculehakoo]

this song creeps the fuck out of me but becuase its rammstien i cant say i dislike it but it doesnt me i have to agree with it damn i wish i knew german so i dont have to look up videos like this and then say shit afterwards!

[jRAY1772]

sorry till 

[JJnnaatt]

This song is... disturbing.

[Pan0sTheGreek]

@JJnnaatt Because that is Rammstein!!!Their music might say offensive things,but it is to show how much of a BITCH life can be...

[dewd12345]

There might be something wrong with the audio cuz it sounds like it's fading in an out

[Jawsuhhlynn]

iHave a question.. in the begining when its all soft. is it till singing?

[Tobipuppy]

@Jawsuhhlynn Yup. :)

[Jawsuhhlynn]

@Tobipuppy woahh it doesn't sound like him! ahaha Grazie

[Tobipuppy]

@Jawsuhhlynn No problem. :)
