Rammstein Mann gegen Mann lyric with English translation
Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht und mir ein Geschenk gemacht Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand Mein Verlangen ist bemannt Wo das süße Wasser stirbt weil es sich im Salz verdirbt trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn Ein König ohne Königin Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt Mann gegen Mann Meine Haut gehört den Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern Mann gegen Mann Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied wenn die Lust von hinten zieht Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter Mann gegen Mann Meine Haut gehört den Herren Mann gegen Mann Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern Mann gegen Mann Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen Mann gegen Mann Kalte Zungen die da schlagen Schwulah Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen Kalte Zungen die da schlagen Schwulah Mann gaygen Mann |
Destiny smiled on me and gave me a present Threw me on a warm star So close to the skin, so far from the eye I take my destiny in my own hands My desire is manned Where the fresh water dies because it taints itself in salt I keep the Little Prince in mind A king without a queen When a woman is mistaken about me then the bright world is confused Man against man My skin belongs to the gentlemen Man against man Birds of a feather flock together Man against man I am the servant of two masters Man against man Birds of a feather flock together I am the corner of all rooms I am the shadow of all trees No link is missing in my chain when lust pulls from behind My sex calls me a traitor I am the nightmare of all fathers Man against man My skin belongs to the gentlemen Man against man Birds of a feather flock together Man against man But my heart freezes on some days Man against man Cold tongues that beat there Faggot! I'm not interested in balance The sun shines in my face But my heart freezes on some days Cold tongues that beat there Faggot! Man gay for man |
“Mann gegen Mann” (Man against man) is a song about the benefits of homosexuality, however all band members are heterosexual. The song is simply about the subject of homosexuality and seems to avoid taking sides. This song is the third single from Rosenrot. Till repeatedly screams “Schwuler” (sung as “Schwulah”, concatenating an “ah” suffix equivalent to a scream “Aaahh!” In English it would be something like saying,”Playa’.”) in the background, which is a derogatory German equivalent to the English word “faggot”.

12:40 am on February 26th, 2008Schwulah (Schwule-ah)= gay-ah = “the nightmare of all fathers”!

9:48 pm on March 7th, 2008Edward, it means faggot in the vulgar. It's slang. Fag means a cigarette in the UK where bummer is a man looking for gay sex. If one were to say I'm bummin in the US, obviously it means you're down, in the UK however it means trolling for gay sex. Schwulah is faggot for rude usage, Schwule is fag or gay [gay proper]. Danke.

10:19 pm on February 10th, 2010Unforunately he is wearing, as Wikipedia puts it “what can best be described as latex panties”. Hahaha.
-
5:11 am on June 5th, 2010Only R+ would have the balls to write a song like this, and even more so, shoot a video like this !!! I’m a HUGE RAMMSTEIN Fan and the video is a bit too much even for me. You have to know that R+ are all about shocking and pushing back the line.
-
4:23 pm on July 10th, 2010Faggot? Schwulah means gay-Ah!
“when lust pulls from behind” He he
-
1:43 pm on September 24th, 2010where are the benefits?!?!?!?!
““Mann gegen Mann” (Man against man) is a song about the benefits of homosexuality”
-
7:46 am on December 22nd, 2010Yeah, this song has no ambiguities when it comes to the benefits of homosexuality. As said before, Rammstein doesn’t seem to take sides on the matter, they’re just commentating.
-
8:14 am on February 24th, 2011i think this song was written against to gays
by the way schwul means fag
you can get song’s mean from this word -
7:31 am on March 29th, 2011I seen the music video. It’s pretty smexy XD remember kiddies, it’s only gay if you make eye contact with the other man! Only Rammstein has the balls to make a video like that
-
11:06 am on March 29th, 2011yeah i think it is compeletly against homosexuality (gay & lesbian) because it says : schwulah! aaaaaaaah!
-
11:59 pm on March 29th, 2011Neon, if you know/knew Rammstein at all or even just a little bit, you would know you are wrong man…
RAMMSTEIN = LIVE AND LET LIVE
-
8:45 pm on March 31st, 2011Some of you are horrible fans xD
This song is about the life of a gay man, and it’s against homophobia… -
11:18 am on April 3rd, 2011i really dont know what are u saying RAmmskyes
-
3:00 pm on April 3rd, 2011how can i be more c;ear !!! This song is AGAINST people who hate gays…AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA. If you don’t understand that…I can’t help
-
1:05 am on July 8th, 2011How can you say they are against homosexuality because of one word, when the entire song is about being gay?
e.g. “I love being gay I love it It’s pretty cool, faggot, I love it.”
Maybe a bit extreme, but you get the point. Also, have you seen the video? Nobody against homosexuality would even dare to glance at it much less star in it. lol
-
11:06 am on October 16th, 2011love this song..rammstein fuggen kicks ass!!
-
11:49 am on October 17th, 2011yeah i got it,but if u know,lots of rammstein songs are confusing,like this! and i say they just put across about something.in this song about gay or homophobia as u said.
i think lots of rammstein songs are like this,PUT ACROSS ABOUT SOMETHING! :d
tnx for UR answer rammsteinskyes,anyway…:d
-
4:53 am on January 10th, 2012Its not “against” homosexuality, per se, but probably a deeper understanding of the inner torment that homosexuality brings upon gay people. Social as well as personal pressure creates a divided “secret” side that struggles with the self. Notice the “anguish/anger” (then again, it IS Till!) in his expressions…and don’t forget the demon…

2:08 am on February 16th, 2012Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen
However, my heart freezes some daysKalte Zungen die da schlagen, Schwule !
Cold tongues that lash out, faggot !So, even though the gay man is very happy and comfortable in his sexuality, the words that people with cold tongues lash out( as in not knowing how much it can hurt what they scream at him)hurt him like a whip.
This is NOT an anti-gay song, more an anti-homophobic song.
-
4:33 pm on February 25th, 2012Maria said:
“This is NOT an anti-gay song, more an anti-homophobic song.”That seems right. Notice how the yelling of “Faggot” comes right after he is saying that “Cold tongues” are beating on him. It seems that he is not yelling “Faggot,” but rather that some others (homophobes) are yelling it and it is freezing his heart.
I loved this song before I knew what the words meant, and now I like it even more!

6:42 pm on May 1st, 2012Yes AnoNY and Maria, I 100% agree with both of you
that’s exacly how I interpreted that part. They are calling him a ‘fag’ again, and then he get’s like ‘Aaaaaaaah stop calling me a fag, I’m perfecly happy the way I am so leave me alone!’. It literaly drives him crazy when they call him a fag. It is a nasty word in my opinion. It’s kinda the feeling I get when people are telling me for the one billion’th time that I look younger then I am :p Then I’m like Aaaaaaaaah, I know I do, get over it!’ I just adoooore this song, so powerfull and bombastic (does that word exist in the english language?)and I yell along with it in the car One time someone saw me driving along while I was ‘singing’ along, and they later asked me why I was so angry in my car 
cracked me up!! ^^ I was like no dude, just singing along with Rammstein :p
