brother dear, come and be so kind
brother dear, come touch me
slide closely to me
In front of the bed, a black hole
and every sheep falls inside
I am already too old, yet still count them
because I cannot sleep
Under the navel, in the branches
a white dream is already waiting
brother dear, come hold tightly
and shake the leaves from the tree for me
Play a game with me
give me your hand and
play with me
a game
play with me
a game
play with me
because we are alone
play with me
a game
father, mother, child
Dear brother's hand hurts
he turns to the wall again
the brother helps me now and then
so that I can sleep
Play a game
with me
give me your hand and
play with me
a game
play with me
a game
play with me
because we are alone
play with me
a game
father, mother, child (or brother :?)
Spiel Mit Mir (Play With Me)
Rammstein's "Spiel Mit Mir" serves as the English-language adaptation of their iconic track "Spiel Mit Mir," released in 2000. The song exemplifies the band's signature fusion of industrial metal with gothic rock, characterized by heavy distortion, rhythmic pounding, and a hauntingly repetitive chorus. As part of the early phase of their discography, the recording captures the raw, aggressive energy that defined their rise to prominence in the German Neue Deutsche Welle scene. The lyrics, translated into English, explore themes of seduction and psychological manipulation, delivered through a vocal style that oscillates between whisper and roar. This version remains a staple for international audiences seeking access to the band's early sound, reflecting the dark, theatrical atmosphere that would become central to their global legacy.
