so here we go..
It's exactly like someone on page 2 said, I will qoute, so you hopefully finally get that!!
"There is a word play on 'Du hast' (you have) which sounds exactly like 'Du hasst' (you hate)
"Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
Du hast mich
<- until here, the listener thinks Till is singing 'You hate, you hate me' (Du hasst, du hasst mich) because that's the only thing that would make sense. (You have me? Doesn't make too much sense in my opinion)
Du hast mich gefragt"
<- That's where you realize that it means 'have', as he says 'you have asked me'
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt
<- 'You have asked me and I haven't said anything' (just to include the "have", correct translation would be: You asked me and I didn't say anything)"
Fucking YES, it's exactly this way. you think "ah well, she hates him, okay." but then he says "you asked me", which turns the meaning of the song. you realize, that he means the question, if he would marry her ("Willst du bis der Tod euch scheide, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?"), and he says "Nein" (No), because he just don't wants to marry her, okay?
It's easy like that! ; )
Here's a qoute again:
"The whole song is, as said before, a satirizing wedding vows.
The narrator is asked to marry somebody and says 'No!' as a response. Simple as that.
The first word play could be the explanation to why the character answers no. "you hate me"? "
And fucking yes again. I also think, that it's not by accident, that they took this particular two words. Maybe she really hates him and just wants to use him..?!
But that's just interpretation.
So please stop debating over this song, it's THAT WAY.
Believe me. ; )
If someone will still deny it, I will let him/her; with an uncomprehending shake of my head.
And by the way, don't you think, Rammstein is an unbelieveable good band? This lyrics are just... gorgeous. : )
