  General Comment:Where's the English?
  
  --------
  
  One can break
  One can speak
  One can steal hearts
  One heart torments one heart
  
  They want my heart at the right spot
  Yet I look over then below, away
  There it strikes to the left
  
  Hearts can sing
  A heart can burst
  Hearts can be pure
  A heart can be stone
  
  They want my heart at the right spot
  Yet I look over then below, away
  There it strikes to the left two, three, four
  
  One can ask a heart
  To carry a child under
  One can give it away
  Think with the heart
  
  They want my heart at the right spot
  Yet I look over then below, away
  There it strinkes in the left breast
  Neither barely knew it
  
  To the left two, three, four

  General Comment:striktly politikal meant, i presume
  like often they adapt well known phrases.
  all the things hearts could do are typical expresions known to everyone in germany.
  and the chorus?
  it revers to a klasikal german workers-marching-song (also sung by ton steine scherben):
  
  "und weil der mensch ein mensch ist
  drum hatt er stiefel im gesicht nicht gern
  er will unter sich keine sclaven sehn
  und über sich keinen herrn
  
  drum links 2 3
  drum links 2 3
  wo dein platz genosse ist
  reih dich ein in die arbeitereinheitsfront
  weil du auch ein arbeiter bist"

  General Comment:Think of it like this. we say HUT 2 3 4,
  
  They say LINKS zwo, drei, vier
  
  and anyone who links rammstein with Nazi's, is 1. Ignorant 2. Dumb as hell

  General Comment:Actually I would have loved if they were right winged. Finally a right winged rock band, instead of all those left winged ones. Pity they aren't

  General Comment:The song was written around a time when Rammstein were under heavy fire for their overall Germanic theme, especially after the Columbine massacre and the two protagonists' supposed links with Nazism. To a lot of people in the non-German world (especially AmeriKKKa), German=Nazi, full stop. Though if the Americans had found out that the band were all Communists, they would probably have reacted just as badly. I on the other hand admire their style.

  General Comment:half cab and madkal are pretty much right about this. the song was written in response to rammstein being called nazi's by the media thats where "they want my heart on the right side" comes from, their response is that they are more left wing and not right wing fascists like the media was portrayin them as

  General Comment:Pinten; Lite rasist kanske? ^_^;
  Well, I think it's about everyone (media etc) think they're Nazists, and they are trying to tell everyone their not.
  Clever lyrics, I love Rammstein both music and lyric-wise. ^^

  General Comment:Haha, this song is so cool. For me it's about people rebellion against a overwhelming enemy. They gather underground and strike from beneath. It might sound like revolutionary dreams. But it's like that in Sweden. We are getting oppressed in our on country with foreigners. And the Swedish youth generations are just a boiling bowl of hatred. There are marches against politicians and corruption annually. For me it's the song about the will of the youth. Going to explode in the traitors faces!
