[@michaels.4847]

"Du hast" actually means "you have..." but in German it sounds the same like "Du hasst" meaning "you hate". So it has very intentional a double meaning, very hard to translate properly.

[@TomTom-zw9is]

You can't translate that to english. There ist an english version from "du hast" by Rammstein that makes the translation with "you hate". But I am pretty shure Rammstein will never again make something like that again. "Du hast" dates back to the late 90s, they where younger then... The pun with "du hast" with "hast/hasst" / "have/hate" is the main idea in the song. But the german text only says "du hast".

[@Caexkepesk]

Rammstein has an incredible catalog and history as a band. Look forward to see more.

Thank you, can’t wait to cover more here!

[@f3lix342]

"They're showmen." Yeah, extremely. I've seen them live 3 times, and the only way I can describe it to people is that it's not a concert or a show. It's an experience, just an assault on the senses (and I mean that in a good way). You walk out of the stadium afterwards feeling exhausted and thrilled and blown away by what you've just experienced. It's an absolutely wild ride from start to finish, and an absolutely unique event to be part of.

I am Argentine but the little that I know of German is thanks to Rammstein. Someday I would like to learn more. I want them to come to Argentina, the last time they came I was pregnant and I couldn't go.

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

The lyrics you have referenced aren't exactly wrong, but they are from their english version of the song, which basically lost its whole wordplay fun (specifically the double entendre of "du hast" [you have] and "du hasst" [you hate] in the context of the actual german wedding vows) and leant directly into that hate aspect of the german version. As far as I read up on it (which isn't all that much tbh) Rammstein themselves regret that they did the english version (afaik, their label "forced" them to do it).

[@Colgan1]

They should be the ones to choose how they sing their songs and what language they want to sing it in.

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

@@Colgan1 back when Du Hast released, they didn't have the clout yet, nor the gut to tell their label off - and they really didn't do anything like that again after Du Hast's english version - so they did learn to go their own way through it

@@Colgan1 I'm sure that they now won't let any other party decide this anymore. But that song was their first big success (from their second album).

Right, it's best for English speakers to look at translations of the original German lyrics. Preferably one with notes to explain things like that.

[@Jamesfoster48]

Agreed, that’s what I love about this song, a beautiful wordplay. The original line is ‘you have me’ but they can change it every verse due to the hast/hasst.

[@max_nebel]

Great reaction! Thank you! And very unexpectedly, it's a psychologist's reaction (usually either musicians or listeners do reactions to Rammstein), and this unusualness is very valuable. I'll subscribe to watch for future reactions to Rammstein. Till's lyrics for the psychologist are very, very good😊 You had a pretty easy start, and Engel and Du Hast aren't overly difficult lyrics. But there's just a huge amount of masterpieces ahead on this journey, both in terms of poetry and m musically, as well as in terms of show and video. Rammstein is a really unique band. I'm a teacher, but I studied psychology as an elective, so I can safely say that Rammstein's lyrics are a field that doesn't end beyond the horizon, there are many layers of meaning, wordplay and traps in them. From my point of view, the most interesting psychologically are those Rammstein songs in which Till maximally abstracts from his own self and lives through the song on behalf of his character (and the choice of these characters in Rammstein... - A maniac, a child witness of his sister's murder, an incestuous rapist, a cannibal victim... Till explores in his lyrics sometimes absolutely extreme sides of human consciousness) I would recommend these songs with subtitles superimposed on the video (educatedmarine channel): "Wiener Blut" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2mVenWYnbmKhck) Mein Herz brennt Piano Version (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h56VnXV9q8eAoMk) Heirate mich (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIK5m2qQfLeqqbM) Amour (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bInUhJl9nrifhM0) With embedded subtitles (Buckstabu channel): Mein Teil (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJm8Y3-sor6Egsk) Morgenstern (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV7UenmNZ5iWp5o) Mutter kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2OZn3eKps-Sf7c And of course - Puppe (in my opinion, you should listen to the album version first, there is no music video for this song. There are closed captions here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpbGZoJoh6aba5I But the concert version is very strong too, it has built-in subtitles: https:/ /kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6S4h56gitSFpNE ) Greetings from Germany 😊

Rammstein is the GOAT. Till is my hero. He's 60 and I'm 61....it is amazing he can perform at the level he does at 60. Like I always say Flake on that treadmill blows me away. I don't know if it's true but I read somewhere at some concerts he walks 17 miles.

[@thedamienharveygroup7014]

I think the word you're looking for is "dystopian". And I agree. Personally I think this is one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Along with being an outrageously cool band, and great sounding song, the keyboard player is what put's this over the top. He's got this Blue Velvet/David Lynch/Mad Max thing where he's so out of place he actually fits in.

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Mike, well then you're an OG! Probably even cooler

[@arnonyhm4055]

Your pronounciation of "Rammstein" is correct. 👍 You got a translation of the lyrics that's not quite accurate. Lyrics of "Du hast" shortly explained: The first three words are "Du hast mich" (you have me) which at that moment doesn't make any sense in German. But it sounds (intentionally) the same as "Du hasst mich" (you hate me). Later in the song, the first three words are extended to a full sentence: "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt." (You asked me and I did not answer.) And then, to show what he was asked, the chorus is a wedding vow: "Willst Du bis der Tod euch scheidet treu ihr sein für alle Tage?" (Do you want to be faithful to her for all days until death do us part?) This is answered first by a kind of female voice "Ja" (yes) and afterwards by Till's harsh voice "Nein!" (No!). These - plus a slightly obscene word play on the wedding vow, that I will not explain here - are the whole lyrics (repeated a few times). According to the making-of video, it's about the sense of community within the band (whose line-up hasn't changed since they started). What videos to watch from Rammstein? I have a "few" suggestions. If you want to see more of their (incredible) live performances I would suggest Rammlied (live from Madison Square Garden) Sonne (live at Rock im Park 2017) Links 2 3 4 (live from Madison Square Garden) Ich will (live from Hurricane Festival 2016) Ich tu dir weh (live from Madison Square Garden) (don't take the lyrics too serious) Mein Teil (live at Hurricane Festival 2013) Amazing official videos Sonne (Sun) heavy, screwed up fairy-tale Links 2 3 4 (left) partly heavy march Ich will (I want) heavy, simple, way to celebrity Spring! (Jump!) (fan-made animated version with english subtitles) slow, partly heavy, very dark sarcasm! Radio (Radio) catchy song (with serious background) Keine Lust (not in the mood) heavy, funny, slidely sad Mein Herz brennt (My heart burns) scary, nightmarish, very special Amerika (America) catchy, not a love song Mein Land (My land), sounds & looks like easy living (unless you look at the slightly developing of the lyrics) Newest official videos from their last album "Zeit" in sequence of the tracks on the album: Zeit (Time) slow, dark, melancholic, emotional Zick Zack (Snip Snap) catchy song, sarcastic, funny Angst (Fear) very Rammstein, scary, credits at the end are helpful to understand the message Dicke Titten (Big Boobs) heavy (most of the time), catchy, funny, credits are funny too (my view) Adieu (Goodbye) dark, sometimes heavy, emotional Last but not least the great (but not nice) video "Deutschland" which has a lot of references to (mostly unpleasent) parts of German history. Video, lyrics, and sound are great (my view) and work very well together. For many of Rammstein's videos there are English subtitles available. To find a lot of them, you may search on KZbin for: "educated marine rammstein" + songname For live videos of Rammstein songs, www.youtube.com/@Bucksttabu/playlists is a good source. In case of Rammstein, precise translations of the lyrics is hard work (and sometimes not possible in subtitles), because they are playing many times with double meanings of words or slightly modify common German expressions and symbolic language pictures to invert or change their meanings. I wish you to enjoy your Rammstein journey.

^this, this all day

[@nickforell1]

Thank you soooo much for all that insight. Sad I got the wrong lyrics but looking forward to more!

[@HenryLoenwind]

@@nickforell1 And if you are interested in that wordplay Arno didn't want to explain: The German verb for "to part" is related to the English word sheath, so by swapping "death" and "part", we get "til the death of the sheath". You may guess which female body part has that name in German. That detail is, in my eyes, actually somewhat important, as it underlines what the song is about: The difference between the female and male desire to be sexually faithful. Understanding this, "you hate me" becomes more than a cheap pun. The male feels like the female hates him and wants to torture him with that restriction.

Awesome reaction!!! Was stoked to see this come up. A couple fun little tidbits about Rammstein’s live shows: Flake’s treadmill actually serves an important purpose. The guy is a ball of energy and needs to be moving all the time lol. He used to want to run all over the stage but since he’s a keyboardist…that’s not really feasible haha. He got a treadmill so he could keep moving without actually going anywhere haha. Their pyrotechnics actually started out because of Till’s stage fright. He has pretty bad social anxiety and during their early years a lot of their songs had long instrumental interludes. He used to perform wearing goggles so he couldn’t see the crowd but he needed something to do to during all the interludes. So a buddy of his recommended lighting himself on fire to pass the time. Till enjoyed it so much that he went and got a pyrotechnics license so he could keep upping the ante the way he wanted to. Turns out that lighting yourself on fire is a legit coping mechanism given the right environment lol. Can’t wait for the next one!!!! I hope it’s either Deutschland or Ich Tu Dir Weh!!! Cheers!

It's a homonym in german - the words for "to have", and "to hate" sound the same - so it works on several levels, and is much deeper than either one on its own.

[@tanman999]

I only have a couple years of highschool German under my belt, but I'm pretty sure a significant part of this song is the ambiguity of "du hast mich" (you have me), and "du hasst (haßt) mich" (you hate me). Without context you can't tell which he is saying. And I think the more literal translation of the first part is: You, you have/hate, you have/hate me, you have/hate me, you have asked me and I have not said anything.

It's actually "You Have" Hast vs Hasst. The word switches to Hasst (hate) in a couple of places. So it is a mix but is basically about BDSM. Also when he asked are you going to love them forever? The chorus says Ja (yes) before he shouts Nein (no). Just a fun back and forth

When you hear the entire "Du hast mich gefragt" it means "You asked me" So yes it is kind of Wedding vows, but if you hear only one part of it, it sounds like "You hate me when I say no to your question". before he sais "NEIN" it is heard ... like female voice saying JA (yes). And when it is heard that, flames on stage go UP, but when he yells "NEIN" (No), Fires on stage go down. They are awesome band.

[@glennarnold3970]

rumour has it the keyboard player walked 27 km at this concert mind blowing cheers from down under

[@nickforell1]

Hahahaha spot on

[@DaddyDoom]

Du Hast Mich is actual a word play. It actually means You Have Me. Most Rammstein songs are actually about love, despite their aggressive sound and looks.

[@nickforell1]

Makes much more sense Pedro, thank you

[@paulriddle7818]

One of the big 3 of Industrial Metal. The other 2 are American bands Ministry and the first IM band Nine Inch Nails.

[@nickforell1]

Oh cool Paul, industrial metal is the term? That’s sick

[@distressor6770]

Awesome reaction.. check out Ich Tu Dir Weh live from Madison Square Gardens and Mein Teil live from Hurricane Festival 😃👍

[@mitchkramah]

Here’s a trick to remember their pronunciation: say “warm spine” and use the same vowel sounds for the “a” and the “I” in Rammstein

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Subbed for Rammstein and Ren reactions, good job 👍🏼 please do Mein Teil next and look up the backstory and lyrics. Also, if you decide to do Deutschland, please choose the muskc video, Rammstein are amazong live but that video is a masterpiece.

[@nickforell1]

Renske! Thank you so much for the support. Definitely will be doing those!

[@rob-8742]

If you ever get a chance to see them live do it cuz itll be the best show of your life ive seen them 3 times and will go every chance i get

[@nickforell1]

I definitely will Rob, so far their performances look INSANE

[@geraldherrmann787]

lyrically, it is not that easy. it is a clever play on words. "du hast" means you have, while "du hasst" means you hate (same pronounciation). the song plays intentionally with a double-meaning, but it is mainly "you have". and it is not the only double-meaning. at some places he sings "bis der tod uns scheidet" which means til death do us part, at others he sings "bis zum tod der scheide" which means til death of the vagina.

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Gerald, pretty damn awesome use of lyrics. Appreciate the help on the translation

[@locantos]

It is somehow a double meaing but 'du hast' means 'you have' and sounds similar to 'du hasst' -'you hate' . You just see the 'du hast' at the beginnign written in white letters.

[@juma2619]

Flake and his treadmill, people seem to like it so much, I saw him when he used a segway… but at the next concert in 2005 in Sweden, he hit Till who had a knee injury and they had to cancel the following concerts

[@michaelmurray3800]

I suspect you are looking for _Dystopian_ feel. I'd like t hear your take on _Sonne._ _Mein Teil_ at this concert is also Awesome and very heavy _Rammlied at Madison_ Square Garden is great plus they have their band name in the song so you will know how to pronounce their name.

[@nickforell1]

Yes Michael, and maybe steampunk. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

[@zxana]

now you gotta do mein hertz brent piano version

[@ModoTronic666]

Best show on Earth! You mentioned your watched another video but your don't know the rabbit hole you're about to go down. Live performances are always great but some audio is pretty crappy and I rather you get good audio....so watch a lot of official videos which will not disappoint either. They are like movies.

[@melicriszoe1]

One of the best band in the world!

[@nickforell1]

Yes, Melisa! They are out of this world

„Du Hast“ means „you have“ ;) greetings from Germany

[@davidwalker5054]

Du Hast are the only 2 german words everybody needs to know

[@hugomuller2339]

Hi 😂 Du hast - you have Du hasst - you hate It sounds almost the same but there are big differences 😂 Greetings from Germany 🤘😜

[@diehandgottes6721]

It is called "You Have" not hate and it's about our vows at the altar. She sings YES flames from below He sings NO flames from above [Lyrics to "You Have"] [Verse.] You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me [Pre-chorus] You, you have, you have me, you have me You asked me, you asked me You asked me and I didn't say anything [Refrain] Will you till death do you part Be true to her for all your days? [Yes] No [Yes] No Will you till death do you part Be true to her forever? (Yes) No (Yes) No [Verse] You, you have, you have me You, you have, you have me You might also like You have (English Version) Rammstein [Pre-chorus] You, you have, you have me, you have me You asked me, you asked me You asked me and I didn't say nothing [Refrain] Will you till death do you part Be true to her for all your days? [Yes] No [Yes] No Will you till death do you part Love her even in evil days? (Yes) No (Yes) No Will you till death do you part Be true to her (Yes) No (Yes) No

[@diehandgottes6721]

Hope it is understandable can not speak English myself use the translation from YT and also this post is translated

[@Mischnikvideos]

It is unclear what he sings. Hand hate sound the same way and he uses both. One can only guess when he uses what, so the text is untranslatable.

[@diehandgottes6721]

@@geraldherrmann787 Yes that's right it's a play on words and also doesn't emphasize the haste properly. The second is actually I never noticed and I am German. The songs are also all provocative but also the CD covers. there was already once an album indexed that was lifted but again.

[@diehandgottes6721]

@@Mischnikvideos However, since it is the marriage vow, it should be called haste, but it intentionally becomes hate. That one can not translate the lyrics well and partly lose their actual meaning they also always sing in German.

[@Anuta6675]

Welcome to the Rammstein rabbit hole! 👋 What are you trying to do with the R? It's just a normal R, or a rolled one if you can do that. The rest of the band name is perfect 👍

[@davidschlegel9875]

The Lyrics says : You have, you have asked me and i have said nothing. Not you hate me you hate me

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

Du Du Hast!!!

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

Their live show is one of the most amazing things I've seen on here. I wanna see it live. : Bucket List ✅

[@nickforell1]

Yes Jeff, I got to get there too. God damn

Deutschland is one awesome song and music video too❤

[@nickforell1]

Thank you Lynx!

[@sandysmietanski688]

If I were the keyboardist in that band and my doctor gave me the blanket advice of you need to exercise more, I’d probably flip over the desk and shout nein!

[@toyfreaks]

Your German pronunciation is really good, especially it that morphs across Germany and other German speaking countries. I'm a fluent american speaker of German and I can't understand people in the far north and far south of that country!

Thank you Toy, appreciate that compliment!

[@James-us8nt]

Rammstein is often doing a play on words which have a double meaning in german. Regarding to this song you can " listen/read " it in two ways. That " Du hast " would mean " You have ". But " Du hasst " ( with two s ) means " You hate ". But only when the whole sentence is sung, you realize the exact meaning. Because only singing " Du has(s)t " can mean both but once that whole sentence is sung: " Du hast mich gefragt... " ( meaning: " You have asked me..." ) the real meaning becomes clear. The false lead comes also by singing and repeating " Du has(s)t mich. " This sentence alone would mean " You hate me ". But following it with " Du hast mich.....gefragt " it changes towards " You have asked me..." -vonStahlmach (Same i've posten on another channel so if you commented on that one i've already read it :D )

[@nickforell1]

Thank you James for that lyrical analysis! I did read it and appreciate it a lot :)

[@Vitalien]

First excuse my English, it's not my native language. I'm from Germany It has already been said that in German there are many words with a double meaning (with the same or similar sound). Rammstein plays excellently with these ambiguities. Please go deeper down the rabbit hole! Tips: "Mein Herz brennt" (piano version) and "Deutschland". I eagerly await your reaction!

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of before, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold. They’ve worked with members of Rammstein, particularly Richard and Till!

[@nickforell1]

Oh thank you Raz for the suggestion. I’ll try to get to it!

[@dietmarcrede9264]

Listen to Rammlied, there you can hear how Rammstein is pronounced.

[@elizabethmoses1186]

Definitely go down the Took rabbit hole and - make sure you react to “kids cover 46&2 by Tool” *after* you hear the original version!😻🤯👍

[@nickforell1]

Okay I definitely will. Thank you Elizabeth!
