Fans of German music

So my friend showed me this video the other day, he was more interested in the female but I thought the song was awesome. Problem is, is that my German is awful and I have no idea the name of the song - mostly because I can't understand it enough to translate it!! The following link will take you to the video, if you have quicktime it will just play via your browser, otherwise you will have to download it

Please help, this is really keeping me up at night!!!


P.S - I want to say that its Rammstein, from Reise, Reise or something similar but haven't been able to verify. Thanks to any and all!!!!!

Need a better link, that one doesn't seem to work

Hi, the link didn´t work on my computer, either.
But I chekced on youtube, there is a song called Reise reise bei Rammstein

If this song is correct, MrSleepy, I found these lyrics. Is this the song you want?

Lyrics ©2004 Rammstein.

Auch auf den Wellen wird gefochten
Wo Fisch und Fleisch zur See geflochten
Der eine sticht die Lanz' im Heer
Der andere wirft sie in das Meer

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Die Lanze muss im Fleisch ertrinken
Fisch und Mann zur Tiefe sinken
Wo die schwarze Seele wohnt
ist kein Licht am Horizont

Ahoi

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Jeder tut's auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Speer zum Mann
Der andere zum Fische dann

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer

Reise, Reise Seemann Reise
Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Herzen steckt ein Speer
Bluten sich am Ufer leer

Even on the waves there is fighting
Where fish and flesh are woven into sea
One stabs the lance while in the army
Another throws it into the ocean

Ahoy

Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish

Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean

The lance must be drowned in flesh
Fish and man sink to the depths
Where the black soul dwells
there is no light on the horizon

Ahoy

Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish

Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their blood a spear is lodged
They bleed softly into the ocean

Arise, arise seaman arise
And the waves cry softly
In their heart a spear is lodged
They bleed themselves dry on the shore

[1] Though written as a noun, "Reise" is obviously used as a verb in the song. The phrase "Reise, Reise" is used by seamen as a wake-up call and finds its roots in the Middle High German verb "risen", which meant "to rise" (to which it is obviously related as well). This verb has since died out in New High German, though the noun was retained and came to mean "journey" or "voyage". The verb "reisen" was rederived from the noun "Reise", but now means "to journey" or "to travel". It seems the old meaning has been preserved in this phrase in the seaman's language.

If you mean the song accompanying the first video it's:

Vollmond by In Extremo

I think.


edit: I just listened to the other videos and they all seem to be the same song too.

Hi Feuersteve, that´s very interesting what you write about Reise/reisen and its origin and meaning in old german language.

Rammstein ist not "my world" of music, but due to this forums I frequently come across their lyrics. And I find they have many double meanings and playing with words in their lyrics.

Thank you for this interesting information

Thanks for the complement Tahira, but those are not my comments. They were posted by the translation author, Jeremny Williams. I don't listen to Rammsttein either, unless someone recommends a song to me.

I listen to Rammstein often........
I have to repeat though this is NOT Rammstein.
[see link above - I'm pretty sure it's "In Extremo" singing this]
