Rammstein Amerika lyric with English translation

Home » Rammstein Lyrics » Rammstein Amerika lyric with English translation
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika

Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht
Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren
Ich zeige euch wie es richtig geht
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen
Musik kommt aus dem Weissen Haus
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus

We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika

Ich kenne Schritte die sehr nützen
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen
Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss
weiss noch nicht dass er tanzen muss
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
Ich werde euch die Richtung zeigen
Nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus

We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika

We're all living in Amerika
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I don't sing my mother tongue
No, this is not a love song

We're all living in Amerika
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika

We're all living in Amerika
Coca-Cola, sometimes war
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika
We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

When there's dancing I want to lead
even if you're whirling around alone
Let yourselves be controlled a little
I'll show you how it really goes
We're making a nice round dance
Freedom is playing on all violins
Music is coming out of the White House
and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

I know moves that are very useful
and I will protect you from missteps
And whoever doesn't want to dance at the end
doesn't know yet that they must
We're making a nice round dance
I will show you the way
Santa Claus is coming to Africa
and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in America
America, America

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I don't sing my mother tongue
No, This is not a love song

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, sometimes war
We're all living in America
America, America

“Amerika” was the second single released from Reise, Reise. It deals with the worldwide dominance of the culture of the United States. It is sung largely in German with a chorus partly in English: We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika. It has received mixed reviews: some perceive it as anti-American, others as being opposed to globalization. The band views it as a satirical commentary on Cocacolonization.

The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the Moon with shots of other cultures acting like Americans. The end of the video shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon set in a studio, complete with film crew, a reference to the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. Till Lindemann, Rammstein’s lead singer, wears a space suit with the name “Armstrong” on it – a reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon.

    I am SICK of people saying, “Oh Rammstein hates the U.S.!” No! They don’t. It is just their opinion on how everyone IS living in America. Western culture has spread everywhere. And Dil, seriously, if you aren’t going to post anything useful just don’t post at all! They aren’t Nazis just because they are from Germany. I love this song, great melody, lyrics, everything!

    How about everyone here stop insulting each other’s- and their own- heritage? Obviously we all have something in common or we wouldn’t be visiting this site.

    Germany has been unfairly expected by the UN to serve some eternal penance over something their government did over 60 years ago. Meanwhile look at what America’s government constantly does-to both their own citizens- and other countries.

    I’d say we’re comparing oranges to oranges in that regard.

    As far as ‘hating’ America – I neither hate my country nor will I berate myself for being American. Sadly the vision of those that originally came here has been corrupted by a government that has become ANYTHING BUT ‘of or for’ the people.

    With that said, this is a great song and the video is clever also.

    America is being used as an escape goat by all the tyrants in Europe, Asia, Africa, and everywhere else. America is not evil. The state of the world is not due to any one country or any number of countries trying to dominate each other and the rest. I think class struggle, and cultural elitism are better spheres to look into when trying to de-construct dynamics of social upheavals.

    Don’t act like America hasn’t done anything, kaveh. No country is perfect, and America is a paradigm of hypocritical imperfection. I don’t think America is perfect, nor do I think that America is a scapegoat: I think that some claims are exaggerated but many are accurate.

    “freedom is playing on all violins”? the idea of freedom, whether given positive or negative connotation, is NOT unique to american fundamentals. If you`re going to even suggest that the problem of our government is some kind of insane lust to spread “freedom”, remember that the idea of “freeom” is as old as the human race itself. As for what exactly freedom is, thats part of a much longer and quite complicated discussion.

    Just because the Bush administration has forced itself into the affairs of another nation and is trying to change it into a democracy (that sounds scary to me in a way) doesn`t mean that all of america feels that this is a good thing. many people were gainst our involvment there to begin with. On top of that, the U.S was once a widely liked coutry; we kept to ourselves and were respectful of the cultures of other nations.

    Finally. Everyone feels some kind of connection to where they were born. That place is special to them, that culture is embedded in them to where they cannot help but subconsiously compare it to other cultures they encounter. Does this make them dirty? Does this make them stupid? Is it evil to want to identify with the nation they were raised in? If so, then humans in general are dirty bias ignorant creatures. But I don`t think we are.

    Yeah, all the German are nazis, what a fucking cliche. I suppose what bush is doing right now keeping thousands of troops in Afghanistan killing ordinary surveillants every day because they ’suspect’ tourists are still hiding there is acceptable. And I suppose that the fact that 39% of all americans want to keep all Muslims under incubation until the war is over is also alright. Why? Is it because you’re american you have special privileges to shove nazi racism into every single German’s throat ever day. And America kicks Germany’s ass? Yeah fucking right. Next time you sit on your computer, watch TV, drive your car, listen to your ipod, eat your hamburger, drink your beer and wear your jeans remember that these are all German inventions. Face it, you would be utterly screwed without them. Germans are by an incredible level smarter, hotter and better than america.
    Oh and BTW I come from Australia, a country that is really stupid by German standards but still not as nearly as stupid as america. If they could beat other countries by anything, it would be stupidity (and fuel consumption)

    i am born in america and this country is beautiful…the lands and legions of a number of it’s people are breathtaking and honourable. numerous people who live here are as frustrated and angry as i am at the current state of affairs. make no mistake, my government does not represent me. “america”…this word makes me shudder. i fervently love my country, yet have never been able to stomach the fact that its roots are bedded in hypocrisy (manifest destiny?) and perpetuated (in large part) by the HUMAN constuct of religion. i will know for myself. it is bad here…for me anyway. americans seem to have lost the mettle to stand up to injustice. the demigod of complacency has fucked the bitch of greed too many times. all hope is lost without unity…divide and conquer. if there is a revolution i would hapily join and fight because i love my country and not my government.
    btw, please stop equting R+ with nazi’s just because they are German. that makes about as much sense as equating me with an american as they are perceived by the rest of the world.

    Sorry… I know how stupid we (the USA) can be I see it every day, when I check my youtube account all I see is brainless comments left by ignorant fools.
    I could apologize all day for the people that don’t think or can’t. I know the rest of the world hates us for our ignorance, but I’ve learned something, they (our government)are making us that way by beating into our heads useless shit everyday with news, TV, Movies, and the worst Music! if you want to make a brain dead zombie give them music with no heart or meaning, Till Lindemann said in an interview about other popular musicians having “no talent” yes the popular artists of our day have no Talent music died in the 90’s for America thank god I can get music from other countries to keep me happy!
    —TO ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT CALL GERMANS NAZI’S—
    My great uncle fought the Nazis and even talked with them the man told my uncle he didn’t want to fight, they made him… That’s what a US solder would tell you today if he was not the brainwashed ones like some of the Nazis were.

    I don’t hate the U.S.A . But I hate the people who dont respect others peoples opinion, dosent matter if its wrong or right, respect stands at the main point of values and rights, so if you dont respect then you are nothing, not in life ,not in this world, not in this dimencion not even in time. you can only disrespect dose who do it also.

    I never tolerate disrespect not even at the least or minimum rate.

    I do not hate any contry land or island, I love Nacionalizim because it mean “love for you’r contry” and in Puerto Rico thats wat stands up alot!

    Just because people are German, doesnt mean they are Nazis, but the German’s HAVE taken responsibility for World war two. So we should all forgive them. They killed my father and both my Grandfather’s in Dieppe. If ANYONE should be mad at them for being Nazis, It should be me, or someone whos Parents or grandparents died in World war two. So I don’t know why you have so much hate against Germany. They did nothing wrong, They were led falsly by an idol elected in the Deppression, is there anything wrong with that? So everyone should just back off.

    12:34 am on December 16th, 2008

    You people are so fucking pathetic.

    -Not all Germans are Nazis so shut up about that shit.

    -America isn’t the Saint country we try to front, but I’d like to see the rest of the world survive without it.

    -Realize that when America’s economy sucks, the rest of the world’s sucks too.

    -If you hate it here so much, fucking leave. I’m sick of hearing you people bitch when you have been given so much. Anywhere you go there will always be shit. Go somewhere else in the world and say these things about that country. They won’t think twice about blowing your ignorant, ungrateful head off.

    -I don’t agree with the vast majority of things that go on in this country, especially as of late. But shit, I respect it. They’ve kept me safe, given me the opportunity to go to school, to have a career, be able to say whatever the fuck I want, and guaranteed that WE don’t wind up with our own dictatorship.

    -And most importantly: Shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music.

    NochEinLetztesMal said it right… shut your mouths and enjoy the goddamn music!!!

    I am at least one American that can say I have an open mind. I dont fall for the brainwashing propaganda spewed out by the government controlled media.

    Americans are woefully uninformed. Until I started talking to someone from Holland, I had no clue that there WAS a visa lottery to get onto the US… I was appalled!

    Please do not let the fable of the “American dream” lure you into a place that is losing hope of survival. As much as I LOVE my homeland, I am quite aware of our flaws. Most Americans are taught from the cradle that if you do not speak english you are either deaf or stupid.

    I only speak english (if you can call it that), I have tried to learn other languages, but have no talent for it. Anyone the speaks more than one language amazes me.

    We do have a wonderful, beautiful country here, but the people of this country take all that it is for granted.
    Just like someone you love, if you take them for granted, they will be gone. Americans are losing America… and we deserve it!!!

    Some say the founding beliefs are being lost…. I say let any belief that destroys others should go down.

    Some think we live in a democracy… WE DO NOT!!! Get a dictionary… look up the definition of democracy…. Americans are brainwashed into believing we are a democracy…. we throw the word around so much it has no meaning any more.

    Americans are arrogant in their false security, and false superiority.

    PLEASE enjoy the music while we are still allowed to.
    It may be the only thing we will have in our hearts to sustain us in the future.

    Peace out yo!!!

    Kathy.

    If America sucks so bad, why is everyone trying to immigrate over here? You don’t see scores of illegals trying to sneak into Cambodia do you?
    I’ll grant America is far from perfect, but it sure has hell is better than a lot of other countries out there.
    I don’t shove Nazism down Germanys throat. America has plenty of history we are not proud of.

  41. Kathylvsthemusic
    3:59 pm on February 4th, 2009

    I agree with WhoCares too. I really do LOVE my homeland.

    We are just messed up right now. Although I didn’t vote for our newest President, I am full of hope he will be making a BIG difference in how we are viewed by the rest of the world.

    I know someone who is trying to come here from Holland. He is the one that told me about the “Lottery”.

    WhoCares you are right. Everyone seems to be trying to come HERE. But one thing I can say from being a witness to it… I have seen some of those that DO get the chance to come here, HATE being here, and tend to put down Americans every chance they get.

    I have been called a “stupid f*cking American” many times, by people here on a visa that they have to go home to renew every so often…

    I have been to Canada and Mexico quite a few times as part of my job. NOT ONCE have I ever put down the people of those countries to their faces or otherwise.

    America is a melting pot of different cultures, but I have seen others come here and disrespect the land and the people. that’s just plain RUDE.

    If you do come here, PLEASE show a little bit of respect for our home just as any GUEST should.

    I do not expect anyone to kiss our A$$es… But, I think a little respect is in order here.

    The American people are not their Government. YES, we do elect them. But, they are Politicians… Not the everyday people.

    By the way… I don’t see a Lottery here that offers citizenship to any other country…
    Our Lotteries win us money to spend… Usually on trips to visit other countries to absorb the culture and see the beauty the world has to offer.

    Enjoy the MUSIC.

    Peace…

    I’m confused…Am I the only person who realizes that America was built on immigration? We all came to America from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia…I myself am German, Norwegian, Irish, English, and Russian sooooo…let’s make sense here. Why is everyone fighting over some lyrics? Just so everyone knows, the Bush family is the MOST hated and embarassing family this country has ever seen. I’m embarassed to be an “American.” I’m glad someone flew planes into those fucking towers, we needed to pull our heads out of our asses and swallow our egos and see there’s more important things than Paris Hilton in a bathing suit eating a cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr. Fuck it!

    I don’t know why everyone always resorts to how someone is worse than another. Even joking about being a Nazi in Germany lands you in prison for three years, I highly doubt Rammstein are encouraging Nazi beliefs. Just like the Columbine shootings, they blame the artist because everyone needs someone else to blame. It’s just music, if you don’t agree with what they’re preaching, DON’T LISTEN TO IT. Also, America is PLAGUED by gangs, cults, the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc. Where do any of us get off insulting others for their beliefs when we’re hypocrites? I don’t believe in God, Satan, Heaven, or Hell but I sure as shit don’t criticize others for doing so. I also don’t care about Neo-Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan because while I don’t agree with their philosophies, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. All we do as Americans is whine about everything and act like we’re soooooo much better than everyone else when the truth is, we all have our faults just like Germany did. WWII was 60 years ago, GET OVER IT! It’s the same as black people crying over slavery to this day, that was 200 years ago, GET OVER IT. Are your minds so small you can’t grasp the idea that other people live life differently? That’s the problem with the world, we can’t be what we want to because there’s always someone who doesn’t like it so there’s always going to be conflict. We’re arguing over a song written about a country who’s number one in immigration, 25% of the worlds immigrants live in America and they must all be retards too if they’re coming to such an awful place right? Numbers don’t lie.
