Du Hast - German and English 

My high school German teacher showed us this, and I was the only one who seemed to enjoy it since I was a metalhead at the time 😂

I would learn German just to scream crazy powerful sounding lyrics

As someone who speaks german as a second language to english, this is the most accurate translation I have ever seen and now this song makes more sense. I know theres the argument of is he saying du hast mich (you have me) or du hasst mich (you hate me), but the title clearly says du hast and having the rest of the song translated really helps.

The fact that my Mexican dad showed me this group I’m just glad me and my dad have the same type of taste in music and it’s not something excepted for a Mexican person to listen to German songs

if this song came out in the 1940s we would all be speaking German rn

The fact that the song sounds both like "Du hast mich" and "Du hasst mich" before gefragt is added really helps emphasize the meaning behind it, with the song being a play on a couple exchanging vows despite not being completely in love.

I’m Deutsch, and “Du hast mich” means you have me, and “du hasst mich” means you hate me. Given that the song is titled “Du hast”, I’m pretty sure it means “you have”. Either that, or I’ve been taught the wrong thing for 18 years in Deutschland. All these other “Germans” saying “du hast mich” means you hate me either aren’t German, or have relatively bad grammar. This whole song is a play on wedding vows. “Wollen Sie einander lieben und achten und die Treue halten bis dass der Tod euch scheidet?” “Do you want to love and respect each other and to remain faithful, until death separates you?” Instead of answering with "Ja," Till says "Nein," finally answering the question he said nothing to in the beginning.

i dont understand why all of ye are so butthurt about the lyrics.the band said on an interview that they wanted the listener to interperate the meaning between 'du hast' and 'du hasst' themselves.there is neither correct nor incorrect lyrics for this.

Im headbanging so hard right now, my brain is turning into mush from crashing into my cranium.

I love this version, in my opinion it sounds more industrial and metal! It’s much more awesome and touches the soul!

I'm from Australia and don't speak a lick of German but man this is a fucking great song

I forgot all about this song untill now.... 12/30/2022 My mother, brother and I would blast this at full volume when I was a kid ( approximately 22 - 24 years ago) I can't remember exactly when. But boy does this bring back memories for me. LOL, good times!

My opinion from what I’ve read & literally heard from a Rammstein interview is that this song was specifically made to have 2 different meaning, leaving it up to interpretation to the listener. Just as the argument has been, “you have” & “you hate”. It can be either or. The band specifically talked about it in a interview when asked since it’s such a big topic surrounding one of their most popular songs.

I don't know why this is getting attention now, but I just want to say that 1. English and German versions of the same songs most often do not have identical meanings. 2. The song sounds shit because it hadn't been released when I made this video. 3. I tried to find the "correct translation" or whatever, but it really seemed open to interpretation. A lot of your arguments could have been avoided if you'd read the description, but this is youtube where comments are rarely more than empty negativity.

It has double meaning: Du hast me gefragt (You have asked me) and Du hasst (You hate me)

idfk why but this make me want to dance on this at a gothic night club and put the song in my fight scene in my films lol

Thank you for translating. My family would adopt Rotary International Exchange students from Germany mostly when I was young and I don't remember which one out of all taught me this song and I memorized it thinking and would sing it thinking I was cool and knew how to speak German without truly knowing what I was saying nor the proper translation perhaps at the time. Now I know, and I've fallen in love with the song once again. Thanks again.

I've never heard an actual cover of Rammstein! Motionless in White did a fantastic job at covering ,,Du Hast"

teacher: kids, we're going on a trip to germany girls: omg! i can't wait to see the mountains, pretty flowers, and villages! boys:

Here is the translation: Rammstein - Du Hast GERMAN: ENGLISH: Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me The word "hast" and "hasst" is pronounced the same in German, but means something completely different. (It is used by Rammstein for a pun!) ("hast" = have, "hasst" = hate) Up to here the sentence always stands with the German word: "hates", which means "hatred" in English. In German you can it understanding too as "hast" (then it would be written with only one "s"). Which form of the two words is meant, the listener can interpret for himself how he wants it. It can mean "hast = have" or "hasst" = "hate" be pronounced and mean. But this is shown in the fifth line of the next paragraph : (Attention: here the word "hast" is still writtenwith an "s") : GERMAN: ENGLISH: Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me From here the word gets another meaning ! Out "Hate" becomes "have" or as one would rather say from the point of view of the German language, "you have me asked" instead of "you asked me". (Attention: Now the word "hates" is written with two "s" (so: "ss")) : You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") … You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") … You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") And I did not say anything --> GERMAN/ ENGLISH --> Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Will you until death do you part --> Treu ihr sein für alle Tage? To be faithful to her on all days? --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Willst du bis zum Tod euch Scheide Will you until death do you part --> Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen? to love her even in bad days? --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Will you until death do you part --> Treu ihr sein Be faitful to her. --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! GERMAN: ENGLISH: Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me Du … You … Du hasst … You hate … Du hasst mich You hate me You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") … You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") … You asked me (or better: "you have [German = „hast“] me asked") And I did not say anything --> GERMAN / ENGLISH: --> Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Will you until death do you part --> Treu ihr sein für alle Tage? To be faithful to her on all days? --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Will you until death do you part --> Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen? to love her even in bad days? --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet Will you until death do you part --> Treu Ihr sein? Stay loyal to her? --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! --> Ja! Yes! --> Nein! No! ------------------------------- over ------------------------------- OH MY GOD. When I translated with Google - Translator, I first realized how complicated and confused my native language is. :( Many things in the song can not be translated exactly, because the songs of Rammstein are written in lyrical. often, too, so they're rhyme. Unfortunately the Google translator does not accept poetry :) But I did it as well as I could, so that you can at least understand the meaning of the song. Please give me feedback if I should have expressed myself too incomprehensible. My english i really not very good. :D

That should've been the wedding song for both of my marriages. Both meanings would've work.

As a german!!!! I love this song 😌

I heard this song for the first time tonight while playing Rock Band with some friends. Instead of saying "Du hast mich," the guy who was singing kept saying "Du hast bitch" and screaming a bunch of assorted German phrases.

It sounds soooo good!!!!! I love this version!!!!

my head hurts now... from loving this song so much >:)

Great 👍 Lyrics 💖💕 & wonderful musical 🎶 composition, Thank you 🙏 for making & sharing with us 🎉😊

A definite keeper on my forever favorite videos.

This feels wayyyy heavier. I love it

Ok, once again the issue about how the meaning changes as the first sentences becomes audible word by word: This is based on the ambigous meaning of "hast" (have) and "hasst" (hate) in terms of pronounciation. While these verbs are written in different ways, they are pronounced in exactly the same way in German language. Du --> you Du hast / du hasst --> you have / you hate Du hast mich / du hasst mich --> you have me / you hate me Du hast mich gefragt / you've asked me Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt / you've asked me and I didn't say anything Once the word "gefragt" --> "asked" becomes audible, the meaning of the sentence is no longer ambigous, because "you hate me asked" doesn't make any sense, not even in German ;)

The scream at 2:56 gets me every time

Thank you for the visual. My album (and lyrics) are long gone. THIS VERSION STEPS THE GAME UP BIG- TIME.

this is so well made

It's astonishing how different the English version and the original translation actually are.

German sounds so mean and threatening...I love it!!!

Dieses Lied ist unglaublich und die Übersetzung ist sehr genau! (this song is amazing and the translation is very accurate!)

NEIN

This has got to be the GREATEST!!!! version i heard yet AWESOME!!!!🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏👏👍😉

Wow, this is a much greater version of Du Hast. And out of all the heavy metal genre, my favourite type of heavy metal will be industrial metal.

Thanks for your efforts in creating a bilingual lyrics video. Much appreciated.

This is not rammstien, it's a cover from motionless in white

I can't believe I just found this! Where has this been hiding all my life?!!! Ya I know... RU-vid 😆. This is amazing 👏

This is amazing I love this song this is my fourth time listening so I think it's very good 🖤

This song never gets old

I flipping love this song!!!! DU HAST MICH!!!!!

My stepdad is from Germany so we rock out to rammstein in his truck w some mega speakers

I understand now why she cried when I played this as "our song" at the reception.. lol

You have done really amazing for your first video. =)

i love this song

Awesome haven't heard this in quite awile

brilliant, gonna play it again x

Jesus, the last time i listened to this was almost a year ago when i was with my now ex who was a huge metal head. We used to listen to stuff like this all the time. Now hes more into rap and hes a skater boy. Dont worry, were still friends, this just brought back some memories :)

This was on one of our rock band games and our very relaxed uncle was amazing at this song

Combining the official german and english songs with the lyrics in booklets: "Du" (You) "Du hast" official german lyric but sings: "Du haßt" = "You hate" (in official english version) "Du hast mich" lyric singing "Du haßt mich" = You hate me" (in english version) "Du hast hast mich gefragt" both german lyric and singing (You have ask me, ((if i want to become bride/husband (inner meaning))) but singing in english version "You hate me to say" "Und ich hab nichts gesagt" both german lyric and singing (And i did not say ((anything)) in english version "and i do not obey" "Willst du bis der Tod euch scheide Teu ihr sein für alle Tage." (Do you want to be faithful for eternity until death parts you) in English Version: "Will you until death does sever Be upright to her forever" "Nein" (No (not niemals =never) "Never" in english version "Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide" (Do you want till the death of the ((/her) vagina) in English Version: "Will you 'til death be her rider" "Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen" ( love her, even in bad days (her days also means in her period in germany)) in English Version: "Her lover too, to stay inside her" long (male) classical christian wedding vow: (name of the bride), vor Gottes Angesicht nehme ich Dich an als meine Frau. Ich verspreche Dir die Treue in guten und in bösen Tagen, in Gesundheit und Krankheit, bis der Tod uns scheidet. Ich will Dich lieben, achten und ehren alle Tage meines Lebens. (name of the bride) , ich will Dich als meine Frau, die Gott mir anvertraut hat lieben und ehren und die Ehe mit Dir nach Gottes Gebot und Verheißung führen in guten und in bösen Tagen bis der Tod uns scheidet. Dazu helfe mir Gott!

It's a German pun. Du Hast, you have, is a play on Du Hasst, You Hate

I've been looking for this song for some time now, typed in German rock song and it came up. So damn simple!

...wow...it sounds more awsome when it's louder...why sm I now just liking this -_____-

To anyone who doesn't understand, it's a play on words about wedding vows.

The fucking DRUM in this song just really drives into ya. Just a great song. Each listen is time well spent 😀

Thank you very much or this. Im learning German and really like this song so this is quite helpful to me.

Whether You Made Mistakes Or Not, You Tried Your Best, That's All That Matters, Good Job

Guitar riffs and Bass are amped like crazy. Nice.

Perfect! :)

EARTH IS BEING BRUTUALLY VIOLENTLY CHARRED.

"You, You have...You have me!"

Im using this video for a musicology report that I'm currently touching up! Sound quality is honestly badass

Wow thats Interesting. I was listening to this yesterday to steady my Strength and Recharge. There was a Business Event. A World Conference. Due to the severity of my health it made my body become bedridden and very close. Fighting for Survival isn't pretty. A roommate's guest had unplugged my emergency system and the other hit me where they knew very well where the chronic pain was getting bad....I got hurt and my Business Partner almost pushed it. We plugged it in because of the roommates it died on the way to a different hotel. Others had to fly home so it was unfortunately rough. Then I found other Songs that made me feel at Peace and Calm my Soul on this page. Thank You.

In German, when using a past participle (past tense, not-simple) the main verb goes at the end of the sentence which provides in interesting way to make songs in the German language. one can easily use a phonetic trick, it *sounds like you, you hate, you hate me, but when you add "asked"(gefragt) at the end it completely changes the meaning.

I knew I wasn't crazy!!! When I listened to the cover MIW posted chris did not growl "und ich hab nichts gesagt" and now I'm glad i was right the whole time

What a lovely wedding first dance song

I like how distorted it sounds, it’s SICK

"Nein" was all I understood lol

Good job on the translation

"You have me" is the right translation. The video itself confirms it. He is not singing about the woman. He is singing about the drugs - specifically heroin addiction and the harm it does to relationships with others. Deep.

tonight is metal loud in my ears !!

This doesn't sound awful, ignore the fucks who say so Sounds awesome

I love this song

Translations differ depending on what part of Germany your from

This song takes on a whole new meaning to me know,Thank You Germany for being so fucking awesome!

If anyone had the album and the last song is the English/German version. And he is singing "hate".

Ich liebe dieses Musik. Für immer meine Opas Lieblingslied.

I have a new appreciation for this song now that im learning German. Jam'n

Great job on the lyric video :)

Love sound of the guitars

awesome lyrics

How high introduced me to Rammstein and I been a fan ever since

I remember tutoring kids in German class in highschool and to help them remember the verb conjugation I'd reference this song and no one ever knew what I was talking about :|

This sounds like Prince Charming from Shrek sang this

This is Motionless in White. I can recognize Chris' voice anywhere.

good song

Genial!

What non Germans hear *loud scary German gibberish What Germans hear "will you until death do you part be faithful to her for all her days"

I like it cuz I can sit and tell ma dad the translations

So romantic

super !!

I grew up multi lingual, polish, German, Slovak. This is all second nature

Люблю рамштейн, как и весь рок ,спасибо (i love rammstein , and every rock music, thanks)

Love this tuning more

This is the song for when your on your way to a junior football game and your getting prepared to rip someone’s face off

me: *takes german class* this song: *pops up in my pandora playlist* me: :D yeaaa new favorite!

great
