MANN GEGEN...BWHAHAHAHAHAH

[apokolokyntosis]

And today after partying alltogether Stefano's birthday at the Chinese restaurant, after some laughter and definitely LOTS of love..and Chinese food, me and Val went walking around with some friends and we talked about Rammstein.
I bet you all know Rammstein (don't? Ask wikipedia!) and the music they play (Tanz Metal iz ♥) but my problem is I don't speak german at all, don't even know how to say hello so I don't understand a whole damn of their lyrics.
Luckily for me, Val knows some german so he's been soooo kind and explained to me the meaning of some songs I like... and mostly the meaning of MANN GEGEN MANN.
I was somehow convinced that it was a "Man against Man" song, but definitely didn't expect how... SLASH IT IS!!

For those who don't know it, here's the song!

And here's the lyrics... *laughs*
Das Schicksal hat mich angelacht
und mir ein Geschenk gemacht
Warf mich auf einen warmen Stern
Der Haut so nah dem Auge fern
Ich nehm mein Schicksal in die Hand
Mein Verlangen ist bemannt

Wo das süße Wasser stirbt
weil es sich im Salz verdirbt
trag ich den kleinen Prinz im Sinn
Ein König ohne Königin
Wenn sich an mir ein Weib verirrt
dann ist die helle Welt verwirrt

Mann gegen Mann
Meine Haut gehört den Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern
Mann gegen Mann
Ich bin der Diener zweier Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern

Ich bin die Ecke aller Räume
Ich bin der Schatten aller Bäume
In meiner Kette fehlt kein Glied
wenn die Lust von hinten zieht
Mein Geschlecht schimpft mich Verräter
Ich bin der Alptraum aller Väter

Mann gegen Mann
Meine Haut gehört den Herren
Mann gegen Mann
Gleich und Gleich gesellt sich gern

Mann gegen Mann
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen
Mann gegen Mann
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen

Schwulah

Mich interessiert kein Gleichgewicht
Mir scheint die Sonne ins Gesicht
Doch friert mein Herz an manchen Tagen
Kalte Zungen die da schlagen

Schwulah
Mann gaygen MannDestiny smiled on me
and gave me a present
Threw me on a warm star *
So close to the skin, so far from the eye
I take my destiny in my own hands
My desire is manned

Where the fresh water dies
because it taints itself in salt
I keep the Little Prince in mind
A king without a queen
When a woman is mistaken about me
then the bright world is confused

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together
Man against man
I am the servant of two masters
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

I am the corner of all rooms
I am the shadow of all trees
No link is missing in my chain **
when lust pulls from behind
My family calls me a traitor ***
I am the nightmare of all fathers

Man against man
My skin belongs to the gentlemen
Man against man
Birds of a feather flock together

Man against man
But my heart freezes on some days
Man against man
Cold tongues that beat there

Gay-ah ****

I'm not interested in balance
The sun shines in my face
But my heart freezes on some days
Cold tongues that beat there

Gay-ah
Man gayfor man *****

* "Warm" (warmen)  means the same as the English word "warm", but also is slang for "homosexual".
** "Glied" can mean both "link" (of a chain) and "member" - that is, "penis".
*** "Geschlecht" can mean many things: "sex", "gender", "family", "house", "generation". It can also be short for "Geschlechtsteil" which means "genitals".
**** The screaming "Ah" has been combined with "Schwuler" to make "Schwulah". "Schwuler" should mean "Faggot"
***** "Gegen" and "gay gen" sound the same. The former means "against", the latter "gay for".

...and for those brave enough, watch the video on youtube. ATTENTION! Naked men, sweat, body oil....and stiletto heels.
*satisfied* Thank you Val for this XD I think I'm gonna laugh hard for the rest of my days!
