Moskau (English)
Rammstein · Other Songs - Rammstein
This city wears a dress,
it has red spots on its forehead.
Her teeth are gold.
She is fat and yet still takes.
Her mouth fills you with emptiness.
When she pays for you
she'll pull you out,
yet not for money;
the city stops my breath.
Moscow!
One, two, three
Moscow!
look, pioneers! There they go, songs to Lenin they sing
She is old but beautiful,
I can not stay here again.
I can't keep balance
She powders her old skin,
she has gotten new breasts.
It built again
She turns me on,
I grieve the torment.
She dances for me,
I must pay.
I must pay
She sleeps with me,
yet not for money,
its the greatest city in the world.
Moscow!
One, two, three
Moscow!
Look, pioneers, there they go, songs to Lenin they sing
I see it, what you don't see.
When you sleep deeply at night
I see it, what you don't see.
When you lie before me
I see it, what you don't see.
When you speak to me
I see it, and you never will.
One, two, three
Moscow!
One, two, three
Moscow!
Look, pioneers, songs to Lenin they sing!
Moskau (English)
Rammstein's "Moskau (English)" serves as a direct English-language adaptation of the band's 1997 track "Moskau," originally featured on the album *Sehnsucht*. The song retains its signature industrial metal and Neue Deutsche Härte sound, characterized by distorted guitars, heavy percussion, and the group's distinctive, guttural vocal style. While the original German version explores themes of political tension and the looming threat of nuclear war, the English translation makes the lyrics accessible to international audiences without altering the song's dark, apocalyptic atmosphere. Released as a standalone single rather than on a specific album, it stands as a testament to the band's commitment to translating their complex, politically charged message into a broader linguistic context, maintaining the raw intensity that defined their early discography.
