You
You hate
You hate me

You
You hate
You hate me


You hate me to say
You hate me to say
You hate me to say
And I did not obey


Will you until death does sever
Be upright to her forever


Never


Will you 'til death be her rider
Her lover too, to stay inside her


Never

    Yes, they definitely say "Hate". I think it's a play on words, personally. Since "Hasst" translates to "Hate", and "Hast" translates to "Have", it's of my belief that Rammstein purposely made the song as such in order to illustrate the ambiguity in marriage. Just my thoughts.

    General Comment:Umm, it's quite strange, I;m not that good in german, but I am dutch, and well, I do know that Du hast mich gefragt is You have asked me. So if you would translate du hast as you hate, well, the sentecne will be "You hate asked me" Soin my eyes, there's not really any debate about this, because the whole song would be translated incorrectly. the one who translated it on the cd probably was really bad in english...

    General Comment:Saying "you hate" makes no sense. I don't care what you people really think about it but I swear almost every song I translate from a foreign language, I get a weird translation.

    General Comment:THANK YOU Raptor, I have been reading all these peoples comments, I skipped a whole page...But anyway, ya, Rammstein loves to work with homophones. It's just one of their things. Someone said it at the very top of the first page too. Listen to more stuff of theirs, Ibet you could all find a few more homophones.I'm no big rammstein fan, but even my german teacher who grew up in Germany says that...

    General Comment:Hear me out. I know it's been said before but I'm saying it again: The song has a double meaning. German has a lot of homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently, like two and too). Many of Rammstein's songs have double meanings, and they choose their words carefully to accomplish that. In the German version of the song, it means hate and have, but for them to translate it, English 'have' and 'hate' dont sound the same so they could not include the same message in their song. They probably just decided on one meaning and went with it. I'm not fluent in German but I'm learning it and I've done a lot of reading on Rammstein and their music and I've read German and English lyrics to most of their songs so I at least have an idea of what I'm talking about instead of just saying people who disagree with me are wrong.

    General Comment:This is a play off or next chapter from Heirate Mich on the first album. He is answering her with never. In the german version he says nein but in the form he uses it does somewhat mean never. They just put the song in perspective for the english population. Also Richard speaks perfect english he live in New York.
