Rammstein Feuer und Wasser lyric with English translation
Wenn sie Brust schwimmt ist das schön dann kann ich in ihr Zentrum sehn Nicht dass die Brust das Schöne wär Ich schwimm ihr einfach hinterher Funkenstaub fließt aus der Mitte ein Feuerwerk springt aus dem Schritt Feuer und Wasser kommt nicht zusammen Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen und bin im Wasser verbrannt Im Wasser verbrannt Wenn sie nackt schwimmt ist das schön dann will ich sie von hinten sehn Nicht dass die Brüste reizvoll wären Die Beine öffnen sich wie Scheren Dann leuchtet heiß aus dem Versteck die Flamme aus dem Schenkeleck Sie schwimmt vorbei bemerkt mich nicht Ich bin ihr Schatten sie steht im Licht Da ist keine Hoffnung und keine Zuversicht denn Feuer und Wasser kommt nicht zusammen Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen und bin im Wasser verbrannt So kocht das Blut in meinen Lenden Ich halt sie fest mit nassen Händen Glatt wie ein Fisch und kalt wie Eis sie wird sich nicht an mich verschwenden Ich weiß Feuer und Wasser kommt nie zusammen Kann man nicht binden sind nicht verwandt In Funken versunken steh ich in Flammen und bin im Wasser verbrannt |
It's beautiful when she swims the breaststroke Then I can see into her core Not that the breast is what's beautiful I just swim after her Sparking dust flows from the center A firework shoots from her crotch Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water Burned in the water It's beautiful when she swims naked then I want to see her from behind Not that the breasts are attractive Her legs open like scissors Then from its hiding place, the flame glows hotly from her thigh-angle She swims past and doesn't notice me I am her shadow, she stands in the light There is no hope and no confidence Fire and water don't come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water Like this, the blood boils in my loins I grab her with wet hands Smooth as a fish and cold as ice She won't waste herself on me I know Fire and water never come together Can't be bound, aren't related Sunken in sparks, I am aflame and am burned in the water |
In the chorus of “Feuer und Wasser” (Fire and water) , Till Lindemann sings “Feuer und Wasser kommt nicht zusammen” (Fire and water doesn’t come together). While this would be grammatically incorrect, the use of the singular third person verb kommt rather than the plural kommen indicates the intent for fire and water to be viewed as a single entity. Thus, a literal translation would be “Fire and water doesn’t come together”. In fact, when Till Lindemann sings this sentence, he doesn’t say “da kommt nicht…”. (fire and water, (it) doesn’t come together). This song tells of a man who is madly in love with a woman that has no interest in him (Sie schwimmt vorbei bemerkt mich nicht, Ich bin ihr Schatten sie steht im Licht|She swims past and doesn’t notice me, I am her shadow, she stands in her light).

4:13 pm on December 10th, 2009This song is written for me…
it describes my story, For the GIRL that will never waste herself on me. :’(GOD! I LOVE HER!

1:41 pm on December 14th, 2009beautiful song.. Like Harris said, it describes the life experience of many of us.
Also, there might be a different meaning in the song – the man doesnt want to show his love to the girl, because he knows that they will not match, like water doesnt match the fire. So maybe the girl doesnt reject him, she just doesnt know about him.

I think its part of the story of most people’s love-life.
Everybody I know has had at least one unanswered love…I’m a lucky man because the woman that first helped me grow emotionally by giving me the pain of rejecting me (as many did) at age 16, fell for me 14 years later.
(There were a few other serious relationships inbetween, but she was the first and I hope she will be the last!) -
5:03 pm on April 23rd, 2010This song is rather about pedophilia & terrorism. A German man loves a mermaid who is actually busy planning to set NewYork on fire? So they cannot mix. Because she’s all the time in the water. While he’s waiting beside the statue of liberty (which is carrying a burning a torch, yes). What the fuck is this song about? A man seeing through the crotch of his focking center, ja!

4:14 pm on September 16th, 2010Simply… Breath-taking…The lyrics completely reflect my current condition…The melody evokes the deepest of emotions…
This, people, is MUSIC. Speaks to the soul. Rock on, Rammstein. Keep on creating real music. Not these pop-ish superficial “songs” that come out nowadays,if they can be called that…
Sorry for my bad english, but I’m from Greece

1:32 am on July 8th, 2011If you think of it like this – fire is the male and water is the female. Fire wants to get close to water but knows that if he does he will get extinguished. I believe this to be a metaphor for rejection. Water has no desire for fire and carries on with her life as if he weren’t there. For fire, who feels a strong lust towards water, this is all heartbreaking.
