Summing up these lyrics to represent unfulfilled sexual desires is rather simplistic. It is about being born, becoming an adult and survival of the fittest. The irony is in spite of the torment of life and repeating ‘nie mehr…’, we can’t overcome the one primal urge that causes us to perpetuate the cycle.
Rammstein Das Alte Leid lyric with English translation
Back to the list of all Rammstein lyrics
Aus der Bohne und in das Licht ein Wesen mich zu gehen drängt für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid meine Tränen mit Gelächter fängt und auf der Matte fault ein junger Leib wo das Schicksal seine Puppen lenkt für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid weiß ich endlich hier wird nichts verschenkt Aus der Bohne und in das Nichts weiß jeder was am Ende bleibt dieselbe Sache und das alte Leid mich so langsam in den Wahnsinn treibt und auf der Matte tobt derselbe Krieg mir immer noch das Herz versengt dieselbe Sache und das alte Leid weiß ich endlich... Ich will ficken Nie mehr das alte Leid |
Out of the bean and into the light a being pushes me to go for the same thing and the old sorrow it catches my tears with laughter and on the mat a young body rots where fate directs its puppets for the same thing and the old sorrow I know at last that nothing is given away here Out of the seed and into the nothingness everyone knows what remains at the end the same thing and the old sorrow it drives me slowly to insanity and the same war rages on the mat it still always scorches my heart the same thing and the old sorrow I know at last... I want to fuck Never again, the old sorrow |
“Das alte Leid†is about the old sorrow of unfulfilled sexual desires, as explained in the line, “Ich will ficken†(â€I want to fuckâ€). At live performances during this line, Till would emerge with a large firecracker protruding from his pants, which would explode emitting sparks.
