And today after partying alltogether Stefano's birthday at the Chinese restaurant, after some laughter and definitely LOTS of love..and Chinese food, me and Val went walking around with some friends and we talked about
Rammstein.I bet you all know Rammstein (don't?
Ask wikipedia!) and the music they play (Tanz Metal iz ♥) but my problem is I don't speak german at all, don't even know how to say hello so I don't understand a whole damn of their lyrics.
Luckily for me, Val knows some german so he's been soooo kind and explained to me the meaning of some songs I like... and mostly the meaning of MANN GEGEN MANN.
I was somehow convinced that it was a "Man against Man" song, but definitely didn't expect how... SLASH IT IS!!
For those who don't know it, here's the song!

And here's the lyrics... *laughs*
Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht und mir ein Geschenk gemacht Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand Mein Verlangen ist bemannt
Wo das süße Wasser stirbt weil es sich im Salz verdirbt trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn Ein König ohne Königin Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt
Mann gegen Mann Meine Haut gehört den Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern Mann gegen Mann Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied wenn die Lust von hinten zieht Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter
Mann gegen Mann Meine Haut gehört den Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Mann gegen Mann Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen Mann gegen Mann Kalte Zungen die da schlagen
Schwulah
Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen Kalte Zungen die da schlagen
Schwulah Mann gaygen Mann | Destiny smiled on me and gave me a present Threw me on a warm star * So close to the skin, so far from the eye I take my destiny in my own hands My desire is manned
Where the fresh water dies because it taints itself in salt I keep the Little Prince in mind A king without a queen When a woman is mistaken about me then the bright world is confused
Man against man My skin belongs to the gentlemen Man against man Birds of a feather flock together Man against man I am the servant of two masters Man against man Birds of a feather flock together
I am the corner of all rooms I am the shadow of all trees No link is missing in my chain ** when lust pulls from behind My family calls me a traitor *** I am the nightmare of all fathers
Man against man My skin belongs to the gentlemen Man against man Birds of a feather flock together
Man against man But my heart freezes on some days Man against man Cold tongues that beat there
Gay-ah ****
I'm not interested in balance The sun shines in my face But my heart freezes on some days Cold tongues that beat there
Gay-ah Man gayfor man ***** |
* "Warm" (warmen) means the same as the English word "warm", but also is slang for "homosexual".
** "Glied" can mean both "link" (of a chain) and "member" – that is, "penis".
*** "Geschlecht" can mean many things: "sex", "gender", "family", "house", "generation". It can also be short for "Geschlechtsteil" which means "genitals".
**** The screaming "Ah" has been combined with "Schwuler" to make
"Schwulah". "Schwuler" should mean "Faggot"
***** "Gegen" and "gay gen" sound the same. The former means "against", the latter "gay for".
...and for those brave enough,
watch the video on youtube. ATTENTION! Naked men, sweat, body oil....and stiletto heels.
*satisfied* Thank you Val for this XD I think I'm gonna laugh hard for the rest of my days!
