Rammstein Amerika lyric with English translation
We're all living in Amerika Amerika ist wunderbar We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren Ich zeige euch wie es richtig geht Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen Musik kommt aus dem Weissen Haus und vor Paris steht Micky Maus We're all living in Amerika Amerika ist wunderbar We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika Ich kenne Schritte die sehr nützen und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss weiss noch nicht dass er tanzen muss Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen Ich werde euch die Richtung zeigen Nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus und vor Paris steht Micky Maus We're all living in Amerika Amerika ist wunderbar We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika We're all living in Amerika Coca-Cola, Wonderbra We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika This is not a love song This is not a love song I don't sing my mother tongue No, this is not a love song We're all living in Amerika Amerika ist wunderbar We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika We're all living in Amerika Coca-Cola, sometimes war We're all living in Amerika Amerika, Amerika |
We're all living in America America is wonderful We're all living in America America, America When there's dancing I want to lead even if you're whirling around alone Let yourselves be controlled a little I'll show you how it really goes We're making a nice round dance Freedom is playing on all violins Music is coming out of the White House and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris We're all living in America America is wonderful We're all living in America America, America I know moves that are very useful and I will protect you from missteps And whoever doesn't want to dance at the end doesn't know yet that they must We're making a nice round dance I will show you the way Santa Claus is coming to Africa and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris We're all living in America America is wonderful We're all living in America America, America We're all living in America Coca-Cola, Wonderbra We're all living in America America, America This is not a love song This is not a love song I don't sing my mother tongue No, This is not a love song We're all living in America America is wonderful We're all living in America America, America We're all living in America Coca-Cola, sometimes war We're all living in America America, America |
“Amerika” was the second single released from Reise, Reise. It deals with the worldwide dominance of the culture of the United States. It is sung largely in German with a chorus partly in English: We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika. It has received mixed reviews: some perceive it as anti-American, others as being opposed to globalization. The band views it as a satirical commentary on Cocacolonization.
The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the Moon with shots of other cultures acting like Americans. The end of the video shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon set in a studio, complete with film crew, a reference to the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. Till Lindemann, Rammstein’s lead singer, wears a space suit with the name “Armstrong” on it – a reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon.

3:08 am on January 3rd, 2008I am SICK of people saying, “Oh Rammstein hates the U.S.!” No! They don’t. It is just their opinion on how everyone IS living in America. Western culture has spread everywhere. And Dil, seriously, if you aren’t going to post anything useful just don’t post at all! They aren’t Nazis just because they are from Germany. I love this song, great melody, lyrics, everything!

4:41 am on January 28th, 2008How about everyone here stop insulting each other’s- and their own- heritage? Obviously we all have something in common or we wouldn’t be visiting this site.
Germany has been unfairly expected by the UN to serve some eternal penance over something their government did over 60 years ago. Meanwhile look at what America’s government constantly does-to both their own citizens- and other countries.
I’d say we’re comparing oranges to oranges in that regard.
As far as ‘hating’ America – I neither hate my country nor will I berate myself for being American. Sadly the vision of those that originally came here has been corrupted by a government that has become ANYTHING BUT ‘of or for’ the people.
With that said, this is a great song and the video is clever also.

7:10 am on February 20th, 2008America is being used as an escape goat by all the tyrants in Europe, Asia, Africa, and everywhere else. America is not evil. The state of the world is not due to any one country or any number of countries trying to dominate each other and the rest. I think class struggle, and cultural elitism are better spheres to look into when trying to de-construct dynamics of social upheavals.

4:13 am on March 21st, 2008Don’t act like America hasn’t done anything, kaveh. No country is perfect, and America is a paradigm of hypocritical imperfection. I don’t think America is perfect, nor do I think that America is a scapegoat: I think that some claims are exaggerated but many are accurate.

2:46 am on April 5th, 2008“freedom is playing on all violins”? the idea of freedom, whether given positive or negative connotation, is NOT unique to american fundamentals. If you`re going to even suggest that the problem of our government is some kind of insane lust to spread “freedom”, remember that the idea of “freeom” is as old as the human race itself. As for what exactly freedom is, thats part of a much longer and quite complicated discussion.
Just because the Bush administration has forced itself into the affairs of another nation and is trying to change it into a democracy (that sounds scary to me in a way) doesn`t mean that all of america feels that this is a good thing. many people were gainst our involvment there to begin with. On top of that, the U.S was once a widely liked coutry; we kept to ourselves and were respectful of the cultures of other nations.
Finally. Everyone feels some kind of connection to where they were born. That place is special to them, that culture is embedded in them to where they cannot help but subconsiously compare it to other cultures they encounter. Does this make them dirty? Does this make them stupid? Is it evil to want to identify with the nation they were raised in? If so, then humans in general are dirty bias ignorant creatures. But I don`t think we are.

9:19 am on August 23rd, 2008Yeah, all the German are nazis, what a fucking cliche. I suppose what bush is doing right now keeping thousands of troops in Afghanistan killing ordinary surveillants every day because they ’suspect’ tourists are still hiding there is acceptable. And I suppose that the fact that 39% of all americans want to keep all Muslims under incubation until the war is over is also alright. Why? Is it because you’re american you have special privileges to shove nazi racism into every single German’s throat ever day. And America kicks Germany’s ass? Yeah fucking right. Next time you sit on your computer, watch TV, drive your car, listen to your ipod, eat your hamburger, drink your beer and wear your jeans remember that these are all German inventions. Face it, you would be utterly screwed without them. Germans are by an incredible level smarter, hotter and better than america.
Oh and BTW I come from Australia, a country that is really stupid by German standards but still not as nearly as stupid as america. If they could beat other countries by anything, it would be stupidity (and fuel consumption) -
9:23 am on August 23rd, 2008the only two good thing in there are the burgers and the space shuttle, both invented in Germany.

9:31 pm on September 29th, 2008i am born in america and this country is beautiful…the lands and legions of a number of it’s people are breathtaking and honourable. numerous people who live here are as frustrated and angry as i am at the current state of affairs. make no mistake, my government does not represent me. “america”…this word makes me shudder. i fervently love my country, yet have never been able to stomach the fact that its roots are bedded in hypocrisy (manifest destiny?) and perpetuated (in large part) by the HUMAN constuct of religion. i will know for myself. it is bad here…for me anyway. americans seem to have lost the mettle to stand up to injustice. the demigod of complacency has fucked the bitch of greed too many times. all hope is lost without unity…divide and conquer. if there is a revolution i would hapily join and fight because i love my country and not my government.
btw, please stop equting R+ with nazi’s just because they are German. that makes about as much sense as equating me with an american as they are perceived by the rest of the world.“it is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not”

Shenron
6:17 am on October 21st, 2008Sorry… I know how stupid we (the USA) can be I see it every day, when I check my youtube account all I see is brainless comments left by ignorant fools.
I could apologize all day for the people that don’t think or can’t. I know the rest of the world hates us for our ignorance, but I’ve learned something, they (our government)are making us that way by beating into our heads useless shit everyday with news, TV, Movies, and the worst Music! if you want to make a brain dead zombie give them music with no heart or meaning, Till Lindemann said in an interview about other popular musicians having “no talent” yes the popular artists of our day have no Talent music died in the 90’s for America thank god I can get music from other countries to keep me happy!
—TO ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT CALL GERMANS NAZI’S—
My great uncle fought the Nazis and even talked with them the man told my uncle he didn’t want to fight, they made him… That’s what a US solder would tell you today if he was not the brainwashed ones like some of the Nazis were.
The world is evil you can point fingers all day but you wont get any where! -
11:01 pm on October 22nd, 2008I don’t hate the U.S.A . But I hate the people who dont respect others peoples opinion, dosent matter if its wrong or right, respect stands at the main point of values and rights, so if you dont respect then you are nothing, not in life ,not in this world, not in this dimencion not even in time. you can only disrespect dose who do it also.
I never tolerate disrespect not even at the least or minimum rate.
I do not hate any contry land or island, I love Nacionalizim because it mean “love for you’r contry” and in Puerto Rico thats wat stands up alot!
Long will live wat war cant solve.

-
2:29 pm on December 15th, 2008Just because people are German, doesnt mean they are Nazis, but the German’s HAVE taken responsibility for World war two. So we should all forgive them. They killed my father and both my Grandfather’s in Dieppe. If ANYONE should be mad at them for being Nazis, It should be me, or someone whos Parents or grandparents died in World war two. So I don’t know why you have so much hate against Germany. They did nothing wrong, They were led falsly by an idol elected in the Deppression, is there anything wrong with that? So everyone should just back off.
-
12:34 am on December 16th, 2008You people are so fucking pathetic.
-Not all Germans are Nazis so shut up about that shit.
-America isn’t the Saint country we try to front, but I’d like to see the rest of the world survive without it.
-Realize that when America’s economy sucks, the rest of the world’s sucks too.
-If you hate it here so much, fucking leave. I’m sick of hearing you people bitch when you have been given so much. Anywhere you go there will always be shit. Go somewhere else in the world and say these things about that country. They won’t think twice about blowing your ignorant, ungrateful head off.
-I don’t agree with the vast majority of things that go on in this country, especially as of late. But shit, I respect it. They’ve kept me safe, given me the opportunity to go to school, to have a career, be able to say whatever the fuck I want, and guaranteed that WE don’t wind up with our own dictatorship.
-And most importantly: Shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music.

9:22 am on December 28th, 2008Amerika ist wunderbar
ya america is boss. head of the world -
6:50 am on January 29th, 2009NochEinLetztesMal said it right… shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music!!!
I am at least one American that can say I have an open mind. I dont fall for the brainwashing propaganda spewed out by the government controlled media.
Americans are woefully uninformed. Until I started talking to someone from Holland, I had no clue that there WAS a visa lottery to get onto the US… I was appalled!
Please do not let the fable of the “American dream” lure you into a place that is losing hope of survival. As much as I LOVE my homeland, I am quite aware of our flaws. Most Americans are taught from the cradle that if you do not speak english you are either deaf or stupid.
I only speak english (if you can call it that), I have tried to learn other languages, but have no talent for it. Anyone the speaks more than one language amazes me.
We do have a wonderful, beautiful country here, but the people of this country take all that it is for granted.
Just like someone you love, if you take them for granted, they will be gone. Americans are losing America… and we deserve it!!!Some say the founding beliefs are being lost…. I say let any belief that destroys others should go down.
Some think we live in a democracy… WE DO NOT!!! Get a dictionary… look up the definition of democracy…. Americans are brainwashed into believing we are a democracy…. we throw the word around so much it has no meaning any more.
Americans are arrogant in their false security, and false superiority.
PLEASE enjoy the music while we are still allowed to.
It may be the only thing we will have in our hearts to sustain us in the future.Peace out yo!!!
Kathy.

2:17 pm on February 4th, 2009If America sucks so bad, why is everyone trying to immigrate over here? You don’t see scores of illegals trying to sneak into Cambodia do you?
I’ll grant America is far from perfect, but it sure has hell is better than a lot of other countries out there.
I don’t shove Nazism down Germanys throat. America has plenty of history we are not proud of. -
3:59 pm on February 4th, 2009I agree with WhoCares too. I really do LOVE my homeland.
We are just messed up right now. Although I didn’t vote for our newest President, I am full of hope he will be making a BIG difference in how we are viewed by the rest of the world.
I know someone who is trying to come here from Holland. He is the one that told me about the “Lottery”.
WhoCares you are right. Everyone seems to be trying to come HERE. But one thing I can say from being a witness to it… I have seen some of those that DO get the chance to come here, HATE being here, and tend to put down Americans every chance they get.
I have been called a “stupid f*cking American” many times, by people here on a visa that they have to go home to renew every so often…
I have been to Canada and Mexico quite a few times as part of my job. NOT ONCE have I ever put down the people of those countries to their faces or otherwise.
America is a melting pot of different cultures, but I have seen others come here and disrespect the land and the people. that’s just plain RUDE.
If you do come here, PLEASE show a little bit of respect for our home just as any GUEST should.
I do not expect anyone to kiss our A$$es… But, I think a little respect is in order here.
The American people are not their Government. YES, we do elect them. But, they are Politicians… Not the everyday people.
By the way… I don’t see a Lottery here that offers citizenship to any other country…
Our Lotteries win us money to spend… Usually on trips to visit other countries to absorb the culture and see the beauty the world has to offer.Enjoy the MUSIC.
Peace…
Kathy

3:25 am on February 25th, 2009I’m confused…Am I the only person who realizes that America was built on immigration? We all came to America from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia…I myself am German, Norwegian, Irish, English, and Russian sooooo…let’s make sense here. Why is everyone fighting over some lyrics? Just so everyone knows, the Bush family is the MOST hated and embarassing family this country has ever seen. I’m embarassed to be an “American.” I’m glad someone flew planes into those fucking towers, we needed to pull our heads out of our asses and swallow our egos and see there’s more important things than Paris Hilton in a bathing suit eating a cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr. Fuck it!

10:54 pm on February 25th, 2009haha! all the Americans talking about Germans being Nazis by default need to look at Americas own population of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists! There is a rather large population of them. Oh yes, this song is cool also.

11:32 pm on May 18th, 2009I don’t know why everyone always resorts to how someone is worse than another. Even joking about being a Nazi in Germany lands you in prison for three years, I highly doubt Rammstein are encouraging Nazi beliefs. Just like the Columbine shootings, they blame the artist because everyone needs someone else to blame. It’s just music, if you don’t agree with what they’re preaching, DON’T LISTEN TO IT. Also, America is PLAGUED by gangs, cults, the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc. Where do any of us get off insulting others for their beliefs when we’re hypocrites? I don’t believe in God, Satan, Heaven, or Hell but I sure as shit don’t criticize others for doing so. I also don’t care about Neo-Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan because while I don’t agree with their philosophies, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. All we do as Americans is whine about everything and act like we’re soooooo much better than everyone else when the truth is, we all have our faults just like Germany did. WWII was 60 years ago, GET OVER IT! It’s the same as black people crying over slavery to this day, that was 200 years ago, GET OVER IT. Are your minds so small you can’t grasp the idea that other people live life differently? That’s the problem with the world, we can’t be what we want to because there’s always someone who doesn’t like it so there’s always going to be conflict. We’re arguing over a song written about a country who’s number one in immigration, 25% of the worlds immigrants live in America and they must all be retards too if they’re coming to such an awful place right? Numbers don’t lie.

9:51 pm on June 11th, 2009hey guys, i´m from germany and i hope you will listen to the music of r+ every day. it´s awesome, you know it. in this bloq, there are people with shit in theyr heads. germany is not a naziland. when someone in germany says he´s a nazi he get beaten up. when we have our wahlen(sorry i dont know your word) and the npd (a nazi-group) wants some bills, the plakate get burned. we have some nazis here but not more than in the rest of the world.
enjoy the music and i think america i not as bad as the news want us to think.

5:23 am on August 13th, 2009Great song. There should be more bands singing about the wonderful USA. It’s a country filled with obese, arrogants. I’m listening to all you fat ass American’s, and as soon i graduate college, I’m moving to Europe. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS EUROPEANS: america is not a glistening land of oppurtunity. I hate peoples attitudes here. People have forgotten about their morales and virtues and manners here. In school (i’m 15), even the teachers preach about how nobody can beat us in a war. I hate american patriotism, because we have nothing to brag about now. Anything you want to brag about, Europe has it. Safety, money, comfort. Everybody is already free accept a few asian and african countries. I’m not rascist, or anything, but to me, Europeans are far more attractive and pleasant. White people are. Blacks over here are rude, smelly, and are stupid. They listen to shitty musik unlike rammstein. I hate it here. And so would most Rammstein listeners, so please, All Europeans, thank yourselves for not migrating over here. I’ll try to bring the few good Americans with me when I come to Europe :]
-
4:16 am on August 20th, 2009You know, except for natives, America is just made up of people from all around the world, if no one came here all the things that America globalized would just have been globalized from various countries. (And I would probably be in Norway or Germany right now.) Who knows…

4:14 pm on October 4th, 2009America has its flaws. Every country has flaws. It’s just that America’s flaws have happened to have a rather large impact on the world at large. Doesn’t mean we’re the devil country; it just means that we aren’t perfect, we can’t be expected to be perfect, and such the like. I like the idea of America, but in practice it hasn’t turned out all that well. In conclusion, this song is awesome, Rammstein is awesome, and people can be extremely silly

4:51 am on October 13th, 2009I came to this site so I could get translations for R+ lyrics, the music sounds fantasic, great for cleaning the kitchen at work, but all I seem to have found is a load of people arguing over wether America is good or bad and wether Germans are natzis or not, I am deeply sadend by the fact that some people in this world have such a shallow mind.
As far as I am concerned, politics here in the uk, in Germany, France, USA or anywhere else in the world is just rich people who think they know what’s people want but don’t, wars are pointless in the first place all they do is split country’s up, wherthere on the home fromnt or in the batle feild. There have been 4,000+ dead due to this silly war that’s 4,000+ to many.
Just listen to the musi and have fun. Chilax

10:20 am on October 25th, 2009Regardless what we put on this poll its not going to change anybody’s outlook on what they believe/feel. we all have our own opinions and sad to say with all the arguing over this thing we all still have one thing in common needless to say……WE ALL LOVE RAMMSTEIN. so we just need to embrace the music and go on with our lives regardless of how shitty it is.
Long Live Rammstein

5:50 pm on November 17th, 2009its kinda stupid for an arguement over who is right.
everyone has their opinion and you cant make them change your mind
most americans dont understand that. people fight and kill people because they have an opinion someone doesnt agree with. im from germany and i have lived here for 6 years. (im 15) and its apalling to see the ignorance of people here.they hate over things that happened years ago and they say how they are upset about the way things were but they continually repeat the patterns of the past
dont hate someone because someone similar to them did wrong when you werent even alive.
i cant stand blacks and whites here because they fight over something they were not alive to be apart of. they continue the cycle. germans arent nazis. im german and im not a nazi. just because 60 years ago someone of my country hated people of yours doesnt mean hate me.
obviou8sly we must get along on some aspect because as many others have already stated we are here for rammstein..
enough of my rant….
rammstein is my favorite band regardless of the questionable lyrics. they are innovative and have good music.
the singers voice is so powerful.
i listen to them all the time and i love them -
8:53 pm on December 28th, 2009“-America isn’t the Saint country we try to front, but I’d like to see the rest of the world survive without it.
-Realize that when America’s economy sucks, the rest of the world’s sucks too.”
Man, you have NO idea how little effect that has on our daily lives out here. Your media is overblowing things. That blowdown in America has not even affected me one tiny bit, and I’m just a commoner, not some rich person with a lot of money to fall back to. America is important, but just as important as many other countries combined.
“-I don’t agree with the vast majority of things that go on in this country, especially as of late. But shit, I respect it. They’ve kept me safe, given me the opportunity to go to school, to have a career, be able to say whatever the fuck I want,” and you think you should be grateful for this while there are so many in your country that don’t get equal attention for it. But then again, where to draw the line of “entitled privileges” and “stop bitchin; it could be worse” ? I think the greater problem is “INEQUALITY,” not “shut up stupid american, you never had to walk 2 hours to school or walk 20 minutes for water everyday.” Inequality like “the black man gets beat up for things the white man gets off with a ticket.” or: “the ghetto kids can never get an education because the live in the suburbs, 3 hours away from school, and library closes an hour after school, and at home they can’t use the internet as a second library because they have no internet, let alone a computer. Their house has gone without water or electricity for months, and their parents are alcoholics. The governors don’t care about these folks. and focus more on folks that DO vote, like the middle-class.”

5:15 am on January 9th, 2010This is ridiculous…
It’s just a song, not the fucking end of the world!
Everyone has the right to say whatever they want about anything! And you all know that Rammstein likes to make controversial songs and watch people fight among themselves, so don’t be shocked. -
6:26 am on January 9th, 2010Meh, just decided to read every comment, and i agree with the people who state that no country is perfect and that we should not bash them for their questionable “stupidity”. Canadian with many American friends, they nice to me, family is part German, English, French and native, i know no neo-nazi’s in any of my german friends, cuzins or directly related family.
However, since i saw that no one commented on WHITE, ill say this, learn history before you make fun of the french.-The USA may have helped liberate france, but you musnt forget there was a french resistance, Vishy france fought with the allies after operation torch, the british and canadians, both french and english helped in the liberation.
-The french left indo-chine (sorry, dont know countries name it split), where viet-nam became two independant factions, because the largest land military at the time (FRANCE) could not fight against an enemy in soil they do not know well. Remember that the French prime minister told the american president to not go into viet-nam because they would have to pull out… and thats what the american military did.
Dernierement, je suis fiere de Rammstein et leur chanson. Le group est magnifique et suberbe donc le facon qu’ils construise leur music … Quebec 2010 je viens … Je me souviens.

7:51 pm on January 25th, 2010Hi
i am from germany and want to comment “german are nazis”
i am 20 years old and i learned about them in school. I NEVER saw a Nazi and both my grandfathers are dead, so i even never have talked to somebody who participated in the war.
And i am not very interested in history. i had to do my final schooltest in the nazitopic and they gave me a bad mark, because i didn’t take this topic as seriously as it has to be taken (teacher said: in germany we have to know what let this happend bla bla….). Of course I know that really really bad things happened in the past, but for me living in germany it is nothing else as any other historical topic.
sorry how i placed the words in my sentences^^ -
6:47 pm on January 28th, 2010I’m surprised that more people haven’t noticed the inverse properties of these arguments.
Not all Germans are Nazis. A very small percentage of Germans even come close to fitting that negative stereotype.
Not all Americans are obese warmongers. Again, a very small percentage. As the name implies, I’m from Texas. By all accounts, I should be surrounded by fat, racist, blind patriots.
But I’m not.
Perhaps it’s time to agree that not all Frenchmen are assholes, not all Irishmen are drunks, not all Middle Easterners are suicide bombers…
Just a thought.

5:12 am on February 17th, 2010Hey,
I am going to admit I dont know what every things is like in the world, but here in my own little world, America rules. GM owns our infamous car maker Holden, we seem to be on a regular basis getting some new American chain. 80% of the shows on TV have come from America. WHICH is what I feel Rammstein is singing about, I dont live in America but the American influence is everywhere.Also every one is proud of their nation in some way, slagging nations is going to get some one fired up in some way or another.
EosTT, Australia is NOT stupid!! I take offence. Its a great place to live.

9:23 pm on March 8th, 2010Does anyone else here get the feeling that this is exactly the kind of reaction Rammstein were going for when they wrote this song? They love to get a rise out of people as much as anybody – usually more. Take the song for what it is, and cool it with the flame wars already.
