ciphergoth | Lied to by Rammstein

If you don't know the song, this won't make any sense to you.

"Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt"

"You
You hate
You hate me
You hate me to say
You hate me to say, and I did not obey"

(Rammstein - Du Hast)

Wow, it rhymes in English too! The weird thing is, how come "gesagt" means "obey"? It looks like "say" to me.

(looks up "frage" in dictionary)

And "gefragt" means "question"? This isn't right!

And it isn't.

With the help of my handy German dictionary and Babel Fish, here's what I get:

"You
You have
You have me
You have asked me
You have asked me, and I said nothing."

"Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet treu ihr sein für alle Tage? Nein!
Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen? Nein!"

"Do you want, until death divorces you, to be faithful for her for all days? No!
Do you want, until the death of the sheath, to love her even on bad days? No!"

(contrast with the "official" translations: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Disco/4752/lyrics.html)

Bloody hell. Lied to on the lyrics sheet printed with the album. *sigh*...
