Rammstein Hilf mir lyric with English translation
Ich war ganz allein zu Haus Die Eltern waren beide aus Da sah ich plötzlich vor mich stehen Ein Schächtelchen nett anzusehen 'Ei' sprach ich, 'wie schön und fein' Das muss ein trefflich Spielzeug sein Ich zünde mir ein Hölzein an Wie´s oft die Mutter hat getan Immer wenn ich einsam bin Zieht es mich zum Feuer hin Warum ist die Sonne rund Warum werd ich nicht gesund Es greift nach mir ich wehr mich nicht Springt mir mit Krallen ins Gesicht Es beißt sich fest es schmerzt mich sehr Ich spring in Zimmer hin und her Oh weh die Flamme fäßt das Kleid Die Jacke brennt en leuchtet weit Es brennt die Haut es brennt das Haar Ich brenne am ganzen Leib sogar Immer wenn ich einsam bin Zieht es mich zum Feuer hin Warum ist die Sonne rund Warum werd ich nicht gesund - Das Feuer liebt mich Hilf mir Das Feuer liebt mich nicht - Das Feuer liebt mich Ich bin verbrannt mit Haut und Haar Verbrannt ist alles ganz und gar Aus der Asche ganz allein Steig ich auf zum Sonnenschein Das Feuer liebt mich Das Feuer liebt mich nicht Hilf mir |
I was all alone at home Both of my parents were out There before me I suddenly saw a little box, nice to look at Oh, I said, how pretty and nice That must be a splendid toy I strike a match Like mother often did Every time that I'm alone I'm pulled to the fire Why is the sun round Why don't I get healthy It reaches for me, I don't resist Jumps with claws to my face It bites hard, it pains me a lot I jump around the room Oh no, the flame touches my dress My jacket burns, it glows far My hand burns, my hair burns In fact my whole body is burning Every time that I'm alone I'm pulled to the fire Why is the sun round Why don't I get healthy - The fire loves me Help me The fire loves me not "“ The fire loves me I have been totally burned Everything is burned completely From the ashes, all alone I climb up to the sunshine The fire loves me The fire loves me not Help me |
“Hilf mir” (Help me) is based on the story of “Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug” from “Der Struwwelpeter” by Heinrich Hoffmann (1809-1894). The story is about a girl who lights a match and develops an unusual love of fire (see pyromania). When a flame accidentally touches her dress, she, along with her house, is burned to the ground. At the end she rises from the ashes to the sunshine.

12:41 pm on July 16th, 2009One of the best songs on “Rosenrot”, simply fantastic music and melody. Till’s voice is unmatched!
-
12:35 pm on July 28th, 2009this is my favorite rammstein song by far, but followed by sonne. They seem to have an obsession of the bad happening rather than the good. Better than the pussy american bands… Great lyrics and rhythm.

10:36 pm on January 14th, 2010This song is a materpiece and it pains my heart that it didn’t get it’s due recognition. Rammstein is the most under-rated band…They deserve so much more. Rammstein fur immer !
-
10:38 pm on January 14th, 2010A particularly disturbing thing is why Rammstein treat ‘Rosenrot’ as their disowned child.
-
9:10 pm on January 16th, 2010Udeeksh, i completely agree with you – it is pretty disturbing.
It’s great CD, along with all the others.About ‘Hilf Mir’ – I extremely love this song.
Lyrics are truly amusing. -
6:36 pm on January 18th, 2010Mortina, I know…I was expecting that they’d perform atleast 2-3 songs from ‘Rosenrot’ in the current tour. I have a feeling that they would perform these songs later when the promotional stage for LIFAD is over. Well, they should!

2:10 am on March 2nd, 2010This has really grown on me, It’s now a favourite. Makes me want to get into German literature.Just need ten years of lessons in the language first. Had thought about learning a new language for a long time as something to keep the brain on the ball. A growing love of this band finally decided which one to study. If you want to do something different, I can recommend this as an option. If you’ve spent time going through this site or simmilar then you’ll have a head start.

5:02 pm on March 4th, 2010I started learning German because I’d always wanted to do so; Rammstein’s music and the lyrics translations on this site have helped a lot. Having something you actually want to translate goes a long way…

2:42 pm on May 14th, 2010This is my favorite Rammstein song ever. The little box reminds me of cigarettes, though I know it’s matches. Probably because I’ve been an underage smoker as a teenager. :\

1:14 pm on May 17th, 2010(related to Tasha’s comment)
I don’t smoke, but I love to play with fire!
One time in class, one of my lighters fell out of my pocket so I tried to cover it with my foot.
Mr.Scruggs was like “Why are you trying to hide that?” So I picked it up, put it in my pocket, and the entire class acted like nothing happened…
LOL, most of them probably think I smoke!
But nah, I just like burning stuff. XD -
11:34 pm on June 7th, 2010does anyone know what the lyric ‘why dont i get healthy’ mean / relate to. is the girl sick and cant leave the house. or she has pale skin (effected by sun) just curious cheers guys!
p.s travelled from australia to berlin to watch em at wuhlheide. it was fucking amazing!!!! defo. worth the trip!!!! -
8:00 am on June 12th, 2010The ‘why don’t I get healthy’ probably relates to the person in which the song is about; questioning themselves. “Why am I like this (Why am I a pyro and why can’t I do anything about it) speaking as if pyromania is a problem. You can see throughout that the character loves fire, but also understands it’s a problem within himself / herself.
P.S. After reading it again it could also mean ‘why won’t someone help me’ or ‘why can’t I help myself’ it’s not the sentences literal meaning but Rammstein is all about double meanings.

7:08 am on July 6th, 2010I went through a small pyromaniac phase some years back. It stopped once I threw a handful of flour onto an open flame in a barbecue grill. Note: For the love of god, don’t do this at home, if you value your eyebrows. Nearly burned them off that way. Fire coming straight at my face – kind of woke me up to the fact that I could seriously hurt myself if I kept doing things like that.
-
12:07 pm on October 3rd, 2010I took me quite a long time to realise how the lines
Why is the sun round
Why don’t I get healthygo together.
I think the whole theme of the song is a metaphor for addictions: the pyromaniac kid plays with matches, and gers burned, just like if you’re addicted to alcohol or to smoking, you will eventually die sooner due to your bad habits. Asking why ‘the sun is round’, is just like asking ‘why don’t I get healthy’, while you’re constantly destroying yourself: of course you’re not going to get healthy if you consume ten bottles of whisky a day, for example! -
10:49 am on October 11th, 2010I lvoe these lyrics. How Till write his lyrics is just amazing. I don’t understand how he does it. I adore that man so much, he’s like a God. And his voice.. It is so pretty!
-
8:36 am on January 24th, 2011The entire song is a metaphor for sexual experimentation, the fire in this case being the opposite sex. In “playing” with the fire the girl is burned, and crumbles into emotional ashes when the fire ceases to love her.
-
2:03 am on January 27th, 2011@Fleisch-Gewehr, actually this is a pretty straight song. The lyrics is based of a novel or something about a girl who developes pyromanic behaviours. Just cause it’s Rammstein doesn’t mean it’s connected so sex.
Btw, just me who hears “das feuer liebt mich” (screamed cocky almost stuck up tone) and “das feuer liebt DICH nicht” (said in a calmer, more explaining voice)? As if he’s telling himself that the fire doesn’t love him and he’s screaming back at himself that it sure does. ?????
-
8:28 pm on January 27th, 2011berry – totally agree ppl read way to much into the lyrics. it is just about a pyro obsession… yep i hear das fuer liebt mich and then das fuer liebt dich nicht.

1:41 am on February 16th, 2012Der Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffman is not just a book. It’s an old book for parents to help raise their children. It’s very nice to read, they’re, like, stories to tell your kids to keep them on the straight and narrow. Play with fire ? You’ll die. Suck yout thumbs, someone will cut them of. Keep yourself clean or you’ll die in your own filth. Tease or torture animals and they will bite your ass one day, play with guns, it can be used against you and kill you, and so forth. I read it when I was a kid, my aunt had it, I inherited it from her and it’s pretty scary for kids. Each story has a moral that tells about consequences of misbehavior in an scary way. And the subtitle is “funny stories with amusing drawings”!!!!
It’s a bizarre book, so it fits Rammstein perfectly. -

See above. Maybe your mind is too sex-orientated.
