Rammstein Stirb nicht vor mir lyric with English translation
Die Nacht öffnet ihren Schoß Das Kind heißt Einsamkeit Es ist kalt und regungslos Ich weine leise in die Zeit Ich weiß nicht wie du heißt Doch ich weiß dass es dich gibt Ich weiß dass irgendwann irgendwer mich liebt He comes to me every night No words are left to say With his hands around my neck I close my eyes and pass away I don't know who he is In my dreams he does exist His passion is a kiss And I can not resist Ich warte hier Don't die before I do Ich warte hier Stirb nicht vor mir I don't know who you are I know that you exist Stirb nicht Sometimes love seems so far Ich warte hier Your love I can't dismiss Ich warte hier Alle Häuser sind verschneit Und in den Fenstern Kerzenlicht Dort liegen sie zu zweit Und ich Ich warte nur auf dich Ich warte hier Don't die before I do Ich warte hier Stirb nicht vor mir I don't know who you are I know that you exist Stirb nicht Sometimes love seems so far Ich warte hier Your love I can't dismiss Stirb nicht vor mir |
The night opens her lap The child's name is loneliness It is cold and motionless I cry softly into time I don't know what your name is But I know that you exist I know that sometime someone will love me He comes to me every night No words are left to say With his hands around my neck I close my eyes and pass away I don't know who he is In my dreams he does exist His passion is a kiss And I can not resist I wait here Don't die before I do I wait here Don't die before I do I don't know who you are I know that you exist Don't die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can't dismiss I wait here All the houses are covered in snow And candle light in the windows They lie there together And I I only wait for you I wait here Don't die before I do I wait here Don't die before I do I don't know who you are I know that you exist Don't die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can't dismiss Don't die before I do |
“Stirb nicht vor mir // Don’t die before I do” is uniquely different compared to Rammstein’s other songs. It is dominated by clean, arpeggiated guitars, with no distorted guitar to be found on the track. “Stirb nicht vor mir” is a duet, featuring Sharleen Spiteri from the British band Texas on vocals along with Till Lindemann. Till sings in German as usual, but Sharleen’s lyrics are in English.
A strictly German version may be released sometime in the future. Christian “Flake” Lorenz expressed dissatisfaction with the current song in an online chat with fans: “I hope that we can release the German version. The English version is not good, IMO. I don’t know how English speakers feel about it. For me it’s just embarrassing. In the German version, Bobo sings it.”
When asked about up-coming music videos in a recent interview, Richard mentioned that the next video will be for Stirb nicht vor mir, saying: “We will do one more for the duet with Sharleen.”

11:03 pm on October 24th, 2007Again can someone tell me the meaning of this song. Some of these songs r very confusing.
-
6:54 pm on December 5th, 2007The Songs title is Translated wrong on this Sight! It’s translated “Don’t die before i DO!

8:58 pm on February 18th, 2008this song is beautiful. for me, it is about knowing that the person who has haunted your dreams is really out there somewhere but you can't find them…you feel them because they are a part of you and hopefully, this time, you will find them. this love transcends time.
-
7:07 pm on June 2nd, 2008ok question if this song actually became true in the way that you dream about a person you have never meet and then one day you go to help your sister out by working at this sport club and you meet the guy that has been in your dreams and you go after them then on ur 2 days after ur 6 mnth anno they break up with you and your deeply in love with them do you wait for them to return to you?

6:54 am on June 3rd, 2008i wish i knew.

8:26 am on June 9th, 2008Exactly. But, in this case, they literally mean that they won't stop waiting or looking until one of them is dead, but until one of them dies, they won't. Hence the title "Don't Die Before I Do".

9:19 pm on October 2nd, 2008UM yeahhhhhh… I found this person and i wish i didnt because he is a total SACK-licker!!!!! I still like the song tho- it rocks out.
-
5:57 am on November 24th, 2008I love this song too. I think that its interesting that (it seems to me, anyway) they made the woman the one to save him, since he is waiting for her, and not the other way round. I also like the fact that it is in two languages – like it possible for love to transend not only time but distance, etc.

4:56 am on July 21st, 2009I would say it was about two people who are soulmates, but will likely never meet, as they live in different parts of the world. The singer is british, but in my envisioning, the character is an American, therefore having an ocean to seperate the two soulmates. It’s a sad song about love never found.
-
2:24 am on December 18th, 2009haha soulmates lol i think it has something to do with him not knowing his mother aswell as never finding love

I agree whole heartedly…that’s how I see it as well. A love that transcends time and space…that haunts your soul as you pass through the ages. Another song, with this theme… you may enjoy is ‘Somewhere’ by Within Temptation.I’m not quite sure why some don’t like the English version. I think that version is amazing.

2:24 pm on May 14th, 2010I must say that I was kinda shocked when I suddenly heard this woman singing in english the first time.

Love Iria (Liverpool UK)

10:56 pm on September 26th, 2010the ONLY Rammstein song I never EVER listen to.
It’s just dreadful, I mean, what were they thinking?
it’s just awfully cheesy, just awful
I’m not kidding, this song has 1 plays in my iTunes whatever, Rammstein is the best
-
9:34 am on December 29th, 2010For me it´s about a child wanting a mother and a woman´s dream of having a son. They dream of each other.
-
5:51 am on January 20th, 2011Well…a really good band that goes without saying. Not their best song but it’s really good. It’s just different and unique ect ect. I like hearing a song or two like this every now and then. It’s refreshing to know that a big German rock/metal/loud noise band can make a soft slow and peaceful song. I don’t want nor do I excpect them to make a lot more like this but, like I said, I like the change.
-
1:06 am on February 24th, 2011I like this song, not so much R style but very, very nice,like mentioned by some before the transcendent energy somewhat surounds it.Its great to read how people understand the song,in their own way.The title is very profound it has big impact on me,the melody is simple but very nice and ambiental and both vocals are great,they complete each other, making the song full.

1:14 am on March 4th, 2011LOVE IT!

4:45 pm on April 10th, 2011I’m really surprised that nobody said….
It sounds like it’s about the Phantom of the Opera! I thought of that the first time I heard it. It also reminds me of a friend who thought she was having a love affair with a ghost. We…still don’t know if he exists or not XD haah…
I’ve been looking for the full German version, but I don’t see it anywhere…
I like this song a lot. -
3:31 pm on April 20th, 2011I believe this song has elements of a still born baby in it. The first verse is self explanatory if you see it from that perspective. I then think it also goes on to express the trauma of the event ‘with his hands around my neck.’ Then possibly the parents commit suicide in a suicide pact together?
- It’s just an interpretation. I can see the other view you guys have too
-
10:32 pm on July 21st, 2011I, personally, LOVE this song. It’s a softer side to rammstein but that just shows how creative they are by going outside of their usual heavier rock ways to compose a beautiful and more mellowed out piece such as this. I’m an english speaker and i love the fact that they combined german and english. Great song! Keep crankin out the jams!! Ich liebe rammstein! <3
-
5:16 am on August 25th, 2011This song is pretty good as it is, i think the english part gives it a good touch, and it keeps the poetic style of rammstein, this is actually one of my pref songs
-
9:11 am on December 11th, 2011There’s a leaked demo of this song on youtube. It’s all in German, has slightly different lyrics giving a sadder tone, and it’s only Till singing. Personally, I wish this version were released instead of what was on the album.
Video has lyrics in both German and English.
