Rammstein "Rosenrot"



I like the lyrics of this song very much as they reflect a kind of romantic Female power and control theme. 

-EJ




A girl saw a little rose It bloomed there in bright heights 
She asked her sweetheartif he could fetch it for her

She wants it and that's fine
 
So it was and so it will always be 
She wants it and that's the custom 
Whatever she wants she gets

Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water Rose-red, oh Rose-red Deep waters don't run still

The boy climbs the mountain in torment

He doesn't really care about the view 
Only the little rose is on his mind 
He brings it to his sweetheart

She wants it and that's fine
 
So it was and so it will always be 
She wants it and that's the custom 
Whatever she wants she gets

Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water 
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

At his boots, a stone breaks

Doesn't want to be on the cliff anymore 
And a scream lets everyone know 
Both are falling to the ground

She wants it and that's fine
 
So it was and so it will always be 
She wants it and that's the custom 
Whatever she wants she gets
Deep wells must be dug
if you want clear water Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still
 

[1] This song is inspired by and to some extent based upon the poem "Heidenröslein" by Goethe and the story "Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot" from the Brothers Grimm.
