Mutter (English)
Rammstein · Other Songs - Rammstein
I pull out one of your white hairs
I throw into the air the wet chain
And I wish that I had a mother
No sun shines on me
No chest had milk, I cried
in my throat puts a hose
I have no navel on the belly
mother, mother! mother, mother!
I was not allowed to lick nipples
and no fold for hiding
Nobody gave me a name
Born in haste and without seeds
The mother that never bore me
I tonight sworn onto
I will make it an illness
And throw it afterwards in the river to sink
mother, mother! mother, mother!
In its lungs a Aal
On my forehead a mother mark
Remove it with measurer kiss
Even if I must die too
mother, mother! mother, mother!
In its lungs a Aal
On my forehead a mother mark
Remove it with measurer kiss
Even if I must die too
mother
Oh give me strength
