Rammstein - Donaukinder - Eye-Porn - [Ultra HQ]

German Lyrics: (English below, and facts about the song below the English lyrics.)

Donauquell, dein Aderlass,
wo Trost und Leid zerfließen.
Nichts gutes liegt verborgen, nass,
in deinen feuchten Wiesen.

Keiner weiß, was hier geschah.
Die Fluten, rostig rot.
Die Fische waren atemlos
und alle Schwäne tot.

An den Ufern, in den Wiesen
die Tiere wurden krank.
Aus den Auen in den Fluss
trieb abscheulicher Gestank.

Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand weiß, was hier geschehen.
Keiner hat etwas gesehen.
Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand hat etwas gesehen.

Mütter standen bald am Strom
und weinten eine Flut.
Auf die Felder, durch die Deiche
stieg das Leid in alle Teiche.

Schwarze Fahnen auf der Stadt,
alle Ratten fett und satt.
Die Brunnen giftig aller Ort
und die Menschen zogen fort.

Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand weiß, was hier geschehen.
Keiner hat etwas gesehen.
Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand hat etwas gesehen.

Donauquell, dein Aderlass,
wo Trost und Leid zerfließen.
Nichts gutes liegt verborgen, nass
in deinen feuchten Wiesen.

Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand weiß, was hier geschehen.
Keiner hat etwas gesehen.
Wo sind die Kinder?
Niemand hat etwas gesehen.

English Translation:

Donau Spring your bloodletting/bleeding
Where comfort and sorrow dissolve
Nothing good lies hidden, wet
in your damp meadows

No one knows what happened here
The floods (are) rusty red
The fishes were breathless
And all swans dead
At the banks in the meadows
The animals became sick
Out of the eyes into the river
(the) stench (of) vile urge

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.

Soon mothers stand at the stream
And cry a flood
On the fields through the dead body
The sorrow climbed into all ponds
Black flags on the city
All rats fat and satisfied
The poisonous humming everywhere
And the people so far away

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here
Nobody saw anything
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.

Donau Spring your bloodletting/bleeding
Where comfort and sorrow dissolve
Nothing good lies hidden, wet
in your damp meadows

Where are the children?
No one knows what happened here...
Nobody saw anything.
Where are the children?
No one saw anything.

The song deals with an accident near Baia Mare in Romania, which occurred on the 30:th of January 2000.

Extremely heavy rainfall on the 30:th of January caused a dam to breach, causing 100.000 m³ of water to flood a goldmine and carry with it approximately 100 ton of heavy metals and sodium cyanide into the nearby river Donau (German name for the Danube). The poison was carried along the river, causing havoc in several countries. Drinking water became poisoned, and people fled the rivers' surroundings to escape the deadly poison which quickly destroyed all life in, and around the river itself.

Lots of children were obviously affected by this disaster, but the name 'Donaukinder' ('Danube's Children') refers more metaphorically to the fish in the river, seen as the 'children' of the Danube/Donau. The fish obviously suffered most directly the full force of this disaster and the absence of fish in the river is the most obvious consequence of the disaster. Hence, the song rhetorically asks: 'Wo sind die Kinder?' ('Where are the children?'). Furthermore, the German name for Baia Mare, where the breach occured, is 'Frauenbach', meaning 'Woman-River', which sustains the metaphor of comparing River/Fish to Mother/Children.
