Another different take from Till. Subtitles provided by educatedmarine. Please visit his channel for more Rammstein related videos: / theeducatedmarine626
With this song Till Lindemann has already done more for the international understanding between Germans and Russians than most of our politicians. My heart goes out to our friends in Russia. Peace and love from Germany!
We fought not against the German people, we fought the Hitler's Nazism. And now, anyone can see, Russia and Germany are mutually reliable partners, regardless of sanctions and other bullshit.
I read that Till Lindemann took russian in school his mother used to sing him that song...he grew up in GDR and the first foreign language they had to learn was russian.
The film "Devyatayev" is about a real case during the war, when a captured Soviet pilot was able to escape from captivity in an enemy bomber. His name was Mikhail Devyatayev, Senior Lieutenant of the Guard.
I am Russian and I think Til shows a huge accent here in this song, but because of his gentle and powerful vocals this accent is balanced by the melody and the fact that not everybody in western world hate us - and do covers on our language even though they dont speak it the way it should sound. I am greatful to Til for doing this because it doesnt sound as a parody - it sounds as a good song and this makes me very sensual and emotional as I was a little kid (6 years old) when i heard this song 1st time. Mark Bernes was the original singer that brought the song to us. I am 47 now - but this song was special to our people all the country was singing it after the world war 2.
Hey Valentin, even if it's true.. western media portrays Putins Russia as the enemy, and Russian media portrays the west as the enemy, I know so many people in Germany people who actually have great respect for Russia! We are more similar than many people think! Personally I am deeply fascinated by the Russian history and soul and how you turn suffering into something beautiful! Most people who are actually educated in history here in Germany have big respect for Russia and a deep-rooted longing to cooperate with you. We won't forget what happened in the past, Russia sacrificed the most in World War 2 to fight the Nazis! It wasn't France, nor England, nor the US who had the greatest share in the defeat of Hitler, it was you guys! I'd love to visit Russia and talk to many of you but I don't speak any Russian, which is sad :( You are not hated guys! We are brothers and sisters and we need to find our way back together!
@@MiguelStinson88 Even at the USSR times there was a saying here that soviet people love simple people all over the world, its just their goverment we fear. I guess same applies vice versa. I wanna thank you for your extended reply, but to prevent any form of political bashing here in public threads I suggest to continue (if u wish so) via e-mail. Mine - is vinograd74@gmail.com
He has a pretty strong accent. But some parts of the song, especially the low, velvety notes, sound very clear and especially close to the original performance. For fun, you can listen here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qIe_KiOZGes.html This performance, of course, has a special subtext, because this song is associated in Russia with the Second World War (although the song was written several years before). Especially on the eve of Victory Day, which is still celebrated by the whole country on May 9. Therefore, such moments are always perceived with a double meaning in Russia. For example, when Rammstein did their concert in Samara (seemingly in 2013), fans joked that "these are the only Germans who could get to the Volga." But don't worry, these were the same 100,000 fans who came from half of the country and filled the entire field in front of the stage. )) Оf course this is just a joke. Rammstein and Till are very popular and loved in Russia (maybe even more than in the whole world).
Thank you for the explanation and the link. Yeah, I believe I made a same type of joke in one of my reactions about Germans and Russia. All in good fun. :)
I touht the song originates in 1939... And about Till - he was born in Leiptig, east Gemany, I am pretty sure he had to learn russia in the elementary school.
Regarding the accent, there is some, but the intonations are super accurate, so it just adds some little extra to the song and does not hurt the song at all. Great song, great execution :)
A True artist A german singer singing songs in Russian, what can i say About Till One of the greatest around. Bless him and Thank you very much for sharing that masterpiece with us
Till has a very cute accent. But this is not the main thing..... I cried when I heard it for the first time. It's very emotional. Yes, Paul speaks Russian because he once lived in Moscow as a child. And Till is often in Russia (I'm happy). And all the latest photos in his Instagram from Russia. He also shot the music video for "Lindemann" in Russia in St. Petersburg.
He grew up in East Germany, he's perfect in Russian. This is a big hit in Russia, it was originally performed first by Mark Bernes in 1939. Till is a versatile performer, I love how he tries to build cultural bridges between cultures.
I'm Russian. He has pretty strong accent. I'm not sure whether he speaks russian or not. All I know is that he lived in GDR and he learned some Russian in school.
Russian was usually the 1st or at least 2nd foreign languagethat kids had to learn. But there is quite a difference between kearning and speaking - specially with Russian I had to notuce on my own ...
yes I agree, I also grew up in the GDR and the 1st foreign language we had to learn was russian - not english. So I acutally don't wonder why Till sings russian aswell - better then english I would say.
Actually, he did it well, you can hear the accent, but still everything is very legible. You can hear that a lot of work has been done, they are great fellows.
In the GDR, people used to learn Russian instead of English in school, so all Rammstein members should propably be able to speak or understand Russian at least a little bit.
kids behind the iron curtain (for example poland, hungary and east germany) have learned russian in school. kids in the west most have learned english in school. thats why the rammstein-guys are speaking, more or less, russian
Russian is very difficult to learn. For an English speaker, even more difficult than learning German. After five years of Russian at school, I know maybe 50 vocabulary words. And that already includes the numbers from one to twenty. I have already completely forgotten the grammar.
@@tosa2522 i like the russian language. of corse i don´t speak a single word but i like the sound. if a male choir sing the russian anthem it´s fantastic!
@@tosa2522 Heißt das sowas wie "Mein Name ist", oder ich "nenne mich"? Und dann, Ich bin Deutscher oder aus Deutschland. Aber kann es auch nicht. Habe Italienisch und Tschechisch noch gelernt. Italienisch brauchte ich hin und wieder Tschechisch leider nie. Tja, so kann es gehen. ;-)//Well it is only a guess, but I think it might be "my name is" and "I am from Germany" or "I am German"? But I really don't know it, because I learned Italien anch Czech. Italian I need from time to time, but Czech unfortunately not.
I just realised, this is so weird to me to listen to a German singer singing in a language I (unfortunately) don't understand. And that I need English subtitles in order to understand what he says. Do speak some other languages, but Russian is not on the list. Yet.😉 Nice reaction, as usual. With love from Germany.❤🤘
Till ist in der ehem. DDR aufgewachsen und spricht nicht nur ein paar Worte Russisch, sondern sogar fliesend. Denn Russisch war Pflichtfach in der DDR.
@@rolandmeier2407 Ist mir bekannt, dass dies in der Ehemaligen DDR das Fach Russisch war! Genau wie bei meinem Bundesland war und ist halt französisch ein Pflichtfach!
All of them, I believe, grew up in East Germany where Russian was probably a requirement in school. Yes, he is singing in Russian. I am not Russian, but I majored in it when I went to college. I even spent a summer semester in Leningrad, which is now back to being called St. Petersberg.
His Russian is surprisingly good, at least in terms of the pronuonciation. I can sing Ein Sonnenkreis in German (I learned this song in the high school, even though I was from English class..), but it doesn't mean Ich spreche Deutsch. I know that Rammstein is from the Eastern part of Germany, where it was quite common to study some Russian in the middle school. From what I've heard, Till said that he heard this song from his mom. How good is his Russian? I have clue. I guess better than my German. He used some cursing in his live concerts though))
His russian is fine. Accent presents of course, but we can easily hear and understand and it ain't looks like joke or parody. Lindemann is Eastern Germany guy, so he learned russian in the past. Anyway, the song he sings is our historical classic, the war song. The song is not about war, but about dream to return from the war to a hometown, and hope that hometown was safe and calm, while in other places there was real hell. The war you guys call WW2, for us, russians, is a "Velikaya Otecestvennaya Voina". This term is hard to translate very close... "Great Patriotic War" is not absolutely correct. The meaning is that was a great war to save our motherland, a total war. Respect to mr. Lindemann. And thank you for watching and for your reaction video. Peace, bro!
I'll sign every word. Perhaps everyone was waiting for some trick in this video from Till(as usual), but I think he made it clear how he treats Russia in this idiotic political situation in the world. But most likely this is just an order for the film, without political overtones. But the fact that a German is singing a Russian song and the planes of the Soviet Red Army are featured may seem strange to many Westerners.
Yes, we (east germans) had to learn russian language in the school. It was mandatory subject. The second foreign language were english, but optional. I'm in the mid fourties now but sadly I only know a few more sentences. I last learned and spoke this beautiful language almost 30 years ago.
Lindemann was 26 years old at the time of the "Wende". I was 21 years old. He grew up behind the "Iron Curtain", I in front of the curtain. That time was indescribable! But only a European can understand that.
Hi everyone. Till's pronunciation in Russian is pretty well. By the way, Till's plane was made in the USA. Its name is Airacobra. Many Russian pilots, during WW 2, preferred to fly on American planes.
In this video Till literally copies perfomance of this song of famous soviet singer Mark Bernes. Here we hear the same arrangemet, the same voice accents. Actually "Belowed town" was written at 1939 and it was one of most popular songs in Russia in a period of WWII and much later.
His father singing this song for him, when he was young boy. This song 1939 year. Lots of Russian soldiers singing that song when drinking with friends, after second world war. My grandfather to.
There is incredibly much in common between the Germans and the Russians. We must not fight, we must work together. Union of Germany and Russia - the prosperity of Europe.
The two aircraft are Bell Airacobras. Delivered to the Soviet Union via lend lease from the USA. They were hated by the US Pilots and they were outdated. The Brits, even in times of the highest need for anything that flies, refused to accept them into the RAF service. US pilots deliberately damaged them at the end, when better fighters were available...to get those better types as a replacement. But the Russian pilots loved them. Especially, because that aircraft was an unusual one. The motor was BEHIND the pilot and the propeller was driven by a large shaft that went through a tunnel between the legs of the pilot. The Russians loved the fact, that the motor was in their back. It was a large protection against the bullets of enemy fighters, who mostly came from behind.
There is lots of accent of course but its voice nice to hear. I think he knows some words but he cant speak like fluently or middle fluently. There is 1 more song in rus - schtiel by rammstein.
Obviously, Till have an accent, like, making O too O, making Ya/Ja like separate sounds too much, but everyone from west Europe, America, etc. have same problems. But Till's Russian pretty good. This song is for movie "Devyataev"(or Devjataev, idk). It's the lastname of Soviet pilot, that escaped from nazis. That's actually a cover of 1937(or 1939) song. Originally it was about Spanish war, but then, in 40s it was used in Soviet movie about WWII, and became more famous.
Till holds a model of US built Bell P-39 AirCobra jet fighter. Thanks to US and Americans. The jet fighters were in leasing for USSR in WW2. Soviet pilot Devyataev from Devyataev movie was flying on an AirCobra when he was shot down. The movie based on real story of a jail break from a secret Nazi base on Punemunde FAW 2 rocket factory on a heavy bomber with secret blueprints and details of FAW 2 Rocket.
You are asking about: how good is his Russian? Well, it is accented, at times heavily. But, if the singer manages to bring a native speaker to tears because of how fitting his emotional interpretation is. Then you know how good his Russian is.
For mister Xsezz. I can tell you about Till Lindman's pronunciation level. He sings like a foreigner who knows Russian very well. In some words, he makes a slight emphasis. But these are minor mistakes. They can only be caught by someone who speaks Russian from birth. In general, he has very good diction and the timbre of his voice is similar to the famous Soviet singers of the 30-40s of the last century. All words in the text are legible and understandable. He does not make mistakes in stress anywhere. Its performance can be assessed as excellent. By the way, if you're interested, this film shows the planes of Soviet pilots. But they were made in the USA. This is the American Bell P-39 Airacobra. The famous Soviet fighter Alexander Pokryshkin fought on this plane.
Sweety Till is my husband in a past life... Ok i don't believe in reincarnation being a Christian but if i did.... 💕 Him! Love your reactions as well baby!! Keep it up your fantastic!!
2:20 Since Till grew up in the GDR, I assume he speaks russian to some degree. In west Germany we learned english, in the eastern part most children learned russian. Edit: the same goes for Paul, Flake, Oli and Christoph (they were members of the band "Feeling B" in the GDR) Fun fact: Flake got his nickname while being with Feeling B. Richard also grew up the in GDR, so he should speak it as well.
Надо задуматься теперь всем остальным странам , Россия дружелюбная страна и нас надо любить и уважать и мы вас будем любить и уважать ! Мир во всем мире ! Жить надо дружно!
@Xsezz I don't know if someone told you already, but this is a cover from an old song from 1939, so from the year the war started. The war on the soviet territory started in 1941, but from the song you can tell, that the overall mood was already war-like. Apparently this was Till's initiative to sing this song for the movie, he suggested it on his own and apparently he knew the song, because his mother sang it back in the day
I am a huge fan of Till when he is not being so shocking. I enjoy that too, but it takes away from the music I think. I love his voice. When it is him and the music, no frivolous sex, no antics... It is *chefs kiss* perfect! Coincidentally, that is why I love Emigrate as well (RZKs band) because the music and his talent is perfection to me. A
strong accent but in this case it is doesn't matter . because of it is not about business it is about strong act. he feels trouble and understands that if something happens, his descendants will not receive an invitation to the bunker and wanted to do at least something that he could.
An important detail: it's not a russian song. Its a Soviet song, written in 1939 as OST. Its a cover version. Original author Mark Bernes. This is part of modern Russian state propaganda. To appropriate the achievements of the Soviet Union for themselves, forgetting that several hundred nationalities lived in the Soviet Union and that these two countries are ideologically hostile to each other. Til Lindemann, of course, does not know this, and does not know what kind of film the Russian director is filming, what idea will be put into this film. He, I think, does it all with a pure heart. But his talent in this case is almost certainly in the wrong hands. The fact is that over the past few decades, not a single film has been filmed in Russia that would not demonize the past and the country that no longer exists.
to the question of the level of the Russian language. The accent is clearly audible. But I will answer that all the information provided in the song in Russian is slash 5 out of 5. this is already very cool.
