Rammstein Wo bist du? lyric with English translation
Ich liebe dich Ich liebe dich nicht Ich liebe dich nicht mehr Ich liebe dich nicht mehr oder weniger als du Als du mich geliebt hast Als du mich noch geliebt hast Die schönen Mädchen sind nicht schön Die warmen Hände sind so kalt Alle Uhren bleiben stehen Lachen ist nicht mehr gesund und bald Such ich dich hinter dem Licht Wo bist du So allein will ich nicht sein Wo bist du Die schönen Mädchen sind nicht schön Die warmen Hände sind so kalt Alle Uhren bleiben stehen Lachen ist nicht mehr gesund, und bald Ich suche dich hinter dem Licht Wo bist du So allein will ich nicht sein Wo bist du Ich such dich unter jedem Stein Wo bist du Ich schlaf mit einem Messer ein Wo bist du |
I love you I love you not I love you no more I love you no more or less than you Than you loved me When you still loved me The pretty girls are not pretty The warm hands are so cold All clocks have stopped It's no longer healthy to laugh, and soon I'll look for you behind the light Where are you? I don't want to be so alone Where are you? The pretty girls are not pretty The warm hands are so cold All clocks have stopped It's no longer healthy to laugh, and soon I look for you behind the light Where are you I don't want to be so alone Where are you I look for you under every stone Where are you I fall asleep with a knife Where are you? |
“Wo bist du?” (Where are you?) is a song that was supposed to be on Reise, Reise but because Rammstein wanted to make Reise, Reise the hardest album they have made so far, it was felt that the song was too gentle and it was left out. The song begins with a clarinet and then the rest of the instruments begin to play. The song is different because the keyboard is the instrument that is easiest to hear.

2:47 am on August 11th, 2009Personally, i dont think that Reise, Reise is to hard. Sure, for example Mein Teil is pretty heavy, Stein um Stein is heavy at many parts, Amour and Stein um Stein is.. 50/50, both hard and soft parts. And so on, i think Herzleid is harder on its own way without its neccesary that is much / less loudier. Anyways, i like Rammstein pretty good,i think the texts are genious. Im sure many is disagreeing with me, but thats just my opinion =) (Comment to the “info”)
I like this song pretty good, its calm and easy ^^, which says that Rammstein can make both hard and soft songs (ofc Wo bist du isent the only song proving this).

9:54 am on September 6th, 2009Alot of people, ive noticed, are confused by the sleeping with a knife lyric. if you think about the song you know he’s worry about something, sleeping with a knife refers to him not being secure without that person, so he does his best to stay safe through the dark times without the light( or the person he’s waiting for)

8:01 am on November 3rd, 2009i really think this song is brilliant i could listen to it a hundred times over and still wont be bored of it ive been a rammstein fan since i was 12 and im 18 now so thats 6 years when i first heard this song i didnt think much of it untill i read the english lyrics its a pure love song and i think theres 4 love songs on the rosenrot album im not sure my favourite song has to be ohne dich that song is really soft dunt ya think and its on the reise reise album im confused shouldnt that song be on a different album cuz ohne dich is way too soft

11:03 pm on November 22nd, 2009About the ‘falling asllep with a knife bit’,
he obviously feels that without this person he is lost; ‘The pretty girls are not pretty The warm hands are so cold All clocks have stopped
It’s no longer healthy to laugh’, he cannot function and his life lacks any happiness
then the lyrics say; ‘and soon I’ll look for you behind the light. Where are you? I don’t want to be so alone. Where are you?’
It’s pretty obvious (i think) that the ‘look behind the light’ refers to suicide, when you take into account the rest of the song, almost the last thing that is said is ‘i fall asleep with a knife’, he doesn’t want to feel so alone so he is searching for her, for completeness and happiness ‘behind the light’, whether he finds it is debatable as he is still asking where she is while he does so -

I think you’ve summed it up perfectly. That’s how I see it as well….’ look behind the light ‘, look behind the light of life. -
6:45 am on January 22nd, 2010i really love this song. it stirs alot of emotion. its beautiful.
-
7:04 pm on March 18th, 2010Yeah, falling asleep with a knife obviously refers to the final sleep (death), and with all that has gone before that fits perfectly as an ending
-
11:53 pm on April 6th, 2010I definitely think you are right and I love that train of thought but I am stuck on the “Ich such dich unter jedem Stein” It all fits together except that line really. Soon he’s going to look for her behind the light, he doesn’t want to be alone, he falls asleep with a knife, he looks for her under rocks… what?
-
7:12 pm on June 22nd, 2010Sleeping with a knife? First what I imagine is him stabbing himself with that knife -> this song is about suicide..

“Ich such’ dich unter jedem Stein” is a shouldn’t be taken literally. It is an idiom wich means “I will search you everywhere -
11:54 pm on August 4th, 2010in the line near the end, “Ich schlaf mit einem Messer ein” there is a -large- pause between Messer and ein. Does anyone know if it is an example of wordplay or something? Would the meaning be changed at all without the ‘ein’ at the end? I speak pretty much no german, so i would really appreciate if any german speakers could enlighten me!
-
10:20 pm on August 16th, 2010“Ich schlaf’ mit einem Messer” means “I SLEEP with a knife”
“Ich schlaf’ mit einem Messer ein” means “I FALL ASLEEP with a kinfe” -
2:25 pm on October 1st, 2010Mein absoluter Favorit – Ich liebe Rammstein!
-
6:58 pm on October 26th, 2010With this song I kind of get the feeling that he can’t stand losing her and his frevent search is going to end in a murder and suicide. It’s kind of like he’s saying “I will search everywhere for you, I will leave no stone unturned, oh, and by the way, I sleep with a knife”
To me it comes across as quite menacing.
That all being said, I love this song. -
3:03 pm on October 31st, 2010Rammstein is the best!
I LOVE this song I think I broke a record, I have had this song stuck in my head for perhaps 3 months? it just will not go!!!!!
love it!
P.S
I actually do sleep with a knife right by me xD

6:17 pm on January 18th, 2011This song reminds me of my girlfriend… who is moving in a couple of months… it makes me cry every time I hear this song.
-
11:28 pm on January 19th, 2011You’ve all gone soft, this is a Rammstein song. A gentle love song till the twist at the end – THE KNIFE! He’s saying “When I find you, if I can’t have you then no one will”
-
8:08 pm on May 19th, 2011I don’t get how this wouldn’t be on reuse resize if it had been intended to be. If you can put ohne ditch on there then surely this song could lol but it was there choice. I bought the album especially for this song. Could’ve been a single. Ich liebe Rammstein!!!

1:51 am on June 26th, 2011Each time I listen to this song, it makes me think of the woman I thought loved me, who I could never think about living without, yet she turned out to be a horrible person, undeserving of anything decent.. Yet still after all this time, knowing that anyone will still be better for me, I still cry at night because she’s not with me.. I miss her more than anyone else, even though she’s bad for me, and sometimes nearly drove me to suicide with her words…

4:19 pm on July 25th, 2011Omg ;( i cry every time when i listen to this song… My girl, broke up with me, and this song is so depressing now…
