Tokio Hotel - Ich Bin Nicht Ich (English Translation)

[89tokiohotelforever]

5 people did not get a farewell letter

[irincheto32TH]

ich bin nicht ich wenn du nicht bei mir bist... ;(((

[anitaandgustav]

This is my fave song.

[iluvtkandbk]

i fuckin love this song

[irincheto32TH]

@iluvtkandbk me too ;)

[MrAsdfghj1234567890]

i love song

[Lyria0chan]

It's too bad they're not as good in English =( It's also too bad that their new stuff isn't nearly as good...WHY DO BANDS GET WORSE AS THEY GET MORE POPULAR?!?!?!?!?!

[NeverAgain483]

@Lyria0chan

Actually I think they're getting better and better. The lyrics are getting a deeper meaning, the beat is awesome, the LOOKS are getting better, too. XD

[Lyria0chan]

@NeverAgain483 The beat in their songs is good, I agree, and I suppose Tom looks better, but a deeper meaning to their songs? From what I've heard of Humanoid (I haven't listened to all of it *shame*), the songs are about love, mostly, which is a very easy thing to write about. Besides, it depends on what you like =/ I like rock, so their pop-ish stuff isn't as good, in my mind.

[JoeyyyyN]

@Lyria0chan bill is pretty good at speaking english but he wasnt before and tom still suck.. specielly when he says ''clothes'' , he says ''clozes'' xd

(btw sorry for my bad english.. i suck at writing in english.......)

[Lyria0chan]

@JoeyyyyN I have no problem with them speaking English, and I agree that they're a lot better at SPEAKING English than they were, but their English translation songs still don't have the same emotional feel as the original German versions. (don't worry about your English - it was really good, and I wouldn't have known you have bad English if you hadn't said anything XD)

[JoeyyyyN]

@Lyria0chan haha yh i agree the songs have more emotional feelings in german but they also want other ppl to understan so they translated, but if you listen to their songs that they did in english before and how they sing 'em now it's different too,, :)

(haha okay thanks then xD)

[JoeyyyyN]

@Lyria0chan understand*

[BizarreAndrogynous]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You took the German lyrics off. :'( It was nice to have both. Why did you take them off? :'( This was my favorite video of this song. Not anymore.

tokio hotel es chigon arriba mexico und germany desde pachuca hidalgo.

[schazzyx3]

aba ich finds jetzt wieda voll gut xD

aba wenn ich des sag dann dissen die mich voll -.- tokio hotel werden voll gehasst obwohl die eig voll die gute musik machen =(

[FiReSpEcKs]

guys nobody made him mad,.it was just a fight with him and tom...but y were they fighting?!?!

[nejilover104]

But in german i thought a question was made by switching around the subject with another word so wouldn't "Bin ich allein" be "Am I alone?"? I dunno i'm just asking xD

[HelenlayProductions]

yea i tought dat too but im still learning im not sure

[pierrebouvier518]

this song is about tom and bill getting in a huge fight and i started crying over it. idk why but it was just really sad. and one of my biggest fears is getting in a fight with someone in my family or one of my friends and never speaking to them again. ='(

[PinkNBlu95]

we have to go jump whoever made billeh sad!

[crazyninjaparamore]

It was Tom... OMGZ I KNOW. Just kidding, but this was written after a huge fight between Bill and Tom

[Lyria0chan]

@PinkNBlu95 But...but TOM made Bill sad...So do we get to jump Tom??? (kidding XD)

[Rainyzbuddy]

this song is awesome!

[LDT1990]

Whoa! Those lungs! He can punch out a LOT!!...Now if he would just do that today, then I'll be happy. =) But seriously, mates! This kid is GOOD!!

[extremexmikawz]

les deje la letra de la cancion Ich bin nicht ich - tokio hotel

en aleman

[extremexmikawz]

Will ich nicht mehr sein

Will ich nicht mehr sein

[extremexmikawz]

Ich lös mich langsam auf

Halt mich nich' mehr aus

Ich krieg dich einfach nich' mehr aus mir raus

Egal wo du bist - Komm und rette mich

[extremexmikawz]

Ich weiß nich' mehr, wer ich bin -

Und was noch wichtig ist

Das ist alles irgendwo, wo du bist

Ohne dich durch die nacht -

Ich kann nichts mehr in mir finden

Was hast du mit mir gemacht

Ich seh mich immer mehr verschwinden

[extremexmikawz]

Ich bin nich' ich wenn du nich' bei mir bist - Bin ich allein

Und das was jetzt noch von mir übrig ist - Will ich nich' sein

Draußen hängt der himmel schief

Und an der wand dein abschiedsbrief

Ich bin nich' ich wenn du nich' bei mir bist - Bin ich allein

[extremexmikawz]

Meine augen schaun mich müde an und finden keinen trost

Ich kann mich nich' mehr mit anseh'n - Bin ichlos

Alles was hier mal war - Kann ich nich' mehr in mir finden

Alles weg - Wie im wahn

Seh ich mich immer mehr verschwinden

[lysaniebre]

this my fave song...

[nikkiann92k]

bill kaulitz is a genius for all the songs he wrote

[EmilyBkaulitz]

[Cgir1989]

[Cgir1989]

[someguy198949]

[isabelortizart]

[TOKIOxHOTELx4EVARx]

[lyka99]

[longanna99]

[sarahmikala1]

[princessmononoke18]

[riddlesrhymes]

Ich bin nich' ich wenn du nich' bei mir bist

[LivexTokio]

[littlebabynothing568]

schrei.

[LivexTokio]

sooooooooooooo

amazing.

[littlebabynothing568]

<3

'I don't want to be anymore'

i love this song.

[pandora6606]

good job!!well done!!!!!:)

[wiccanenchantress]

egal means "no matter" or "it doesn't matter"

but otherwise, very good translation!

[ilTHfeaa]

all of thier german songs turn out to be beautiful in english! i don't understand why they doint translate the old songs like this one.

[XxNachtxNachtxX]

i know i really want them to....idk. maybe they will at some point.

[Lyria0chan]

@ilTHfeaa I disagree. I think that certain of their German songs are actually really bad in English (*caugh* Schrei *caugh*), and I'm glad they didn't translate all of them. A lot of the meaning gets lost in translation =/

[Fulla0509]

From here I understood what does this song mean..I really didn't know the meaning.Cause I don't know German language.

So great song, true story!!!Thanks!!

[steckaa]

heißt das nicht "Im not myself"?(ich bin nicht ich )

...

[moniandcoins]

u spelled kaulitz wrong!!!!!

[roxanluvsbill90]

this is very powerful. it proves that anyone, even at a young age, have a say in things.

can't explain, but wow i love this song. always have

[badguygr]

Is this .... music ? Is this somekind of rock music ? OMFG THANK GOD RORY JIMMY ZAPPA AND STEVIE RAY VAUGHN ARE NOT ALIVE TO SEE THIS ! They would be so way dissapointed with nowadays new generation !

[ICJenny]

well then go listen to them. dont hate all over music that you happen not to like.

[NightMage019]

I totally agree. xD

[kikilanman2]

I agree with ICJenny

[princessmononoke18]

itd not even in engilsh, you idiot -_-

[xShutupNerdx]

thanks for the translation XD

i love this song..

[12345qwer5]

omg who would wanna break up with him?!?!?!? WHOO?!?! god whoever she is shes one lucky ass

[princessmononoke18]

i know, right??

[boxer7869]

whaT IS HE TALKING ABOUT... DOES ANYONE KNO?

[kamariajo]

I heard somewhere that a girl had really left him and now he's all alone without her. :-(

[boxer7869]

aww how sad! :(

[kikilanman2]

I have to agree with both of you it is how so sad and the lyrics sond like they are about a girl

[lalumiah]

this song is so sad =(. thanks for posting this. i didnt no wat he said b4. it kinda made me cry a little during the chorus. its a really powerful song. they should have an english version on their new album

[TokioHoteliSLove9189]

to be honest lalumiah...i dont want them to do an english version...it is a very powerful song and it has powerful lyrics...but i think some of their english songs lose the meaning when they get translated...dont get me wrong i LOVEEEEEEE the englsih songs...but i just prefer the german ones....♥♥♥tokio hotel♥♥♥

[lalumiah]

i understand wat ur saying. i just think that since this song is so powerful, everyone should be able to understand it and stuff. u know? like i dont understand german. and wen i first heard this song, it kind of sounded like not very sad and stuff. so i thought that it was a hppy song. and then i looked at the words here and tears came to my eyes.

[yhini]

i love this song:)

thanks for the translation!!

[MisanthropeSadist13]

this song is about me >> he just doesnt know it yet =D MY BILL! ♥

Old-School Tokio Hotel is my preference. =) Bill was louder, more passionate, and let people have it! His singing came as a slap to the face...now it's just a light *pat*. Where's that kid I know's still in there!?

[kuramashottie]

the part around 2:52 sounds so emotional. god its beautiful. by the way your translations are really good!

[xraychellxriotx]

is this about a girl or tom?

cause it could go either way xd

[idyllwildchick]

i soo cried to this song when i read the lyrics. omg he was soo talented he still is. i luv u bill.

[kashaf1995]

my new fav song! i never feel alone, but bill does when he is not with his brother. he said he and his brother carry a strong bond. they love each other alot. (bill said this! NOT me!)i think its kinda cute how they love each other as brothers! exuse my english i am german!

[innocentpyschochic]

Really! I'm an American but I am learning German in school. I like it a lot.

[kashaf1995]

this takes a long time 2 load i have been waiting for 20 minutes

[azullobo6]

this is so the main song that describes me cuz i'm becoming something i don't wanna be. i'm becoming more sad, angered easy bored with life. idk wat to do, i don't know who i am anymore. i used 2 be happy but i am not anymore...
