Hallelujah (English) Lyrics
On his wall a picture of the Lord
He smears the spots of the Bible
The evening meal - he loves to spread
They hold their spirits in
But worry makes him the tenor
So he must be next to him
On his night table still and mute
A picture of the Lord
He turns so slowly
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will remain without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
Hallelujah
The sin nestles over the bone
So he helps to drive it out
With music and candlelight
Hallelujah
He will fold his hands in prayer
Hallelujah
He will be without a wife
Hallelujah
So he will have to love his next
Hallelujah
He takes his young to pray
Hallelujah
He is the true Christian
Hallelujah
And he knows, what charity is
Hallelujah
Turn around
yeah...sounds like priest molestion to me too. As a Christian I'd like to point out that it's not cool. (nor should those poor guys not be able to have sex..what the hell man!!! =P) religon and christianity don't mix well..confused..lol..so would most people who don't know.
Yet another weak translation. Here's a better one: " He is holy and very sensitive On his wall a picture of the Lord He wipes the stains off the Bible He endulges in dealing out the Communion wine / nightly meal
[Abendmahl is an ambiguous word in German; as the communion service goes back to Christ's last supper, we still use the same word for both meanings.]
He loves the choir boys They keep their souls clean But the tenor makes him full of care So he must be attending to him most On his bedside table still and mute A picture of the Lord He slowly turns it round
When the church bell strikes twice Hallelujah He folds his hands in prayer Hallelujah He has remained without a wife Hallelujah So he will have to love his neighbour Hallelujah
The young man may stay with him
Sin dwells above the leg
So he is pleased to help exorcizing it
With music and candlelight.
When the church bell strikes...
When the church bell strikes strikes twice Hallelujah He gives the boy a private sermon Hallelujah He is the true Christian Hallelujah And he knows what love thy neighbour means Hallelujah
Turn around slowly Turn around "
Since some of the other comments have confused the hell out of me, and I'm an actual Christian, I gotta go with the majority on this one. It's totally about priests molesting boys. It's kinda obvious. If Rammstein has more Christian fans (am I the only one? ;-;), they probably jumped on this one, like a lot of Apocalyptica's fans did on "I'm Not Jesus". Just another song about hypocrisy in the Catholic church, but still pretty awesome.
Since you got the english lyrics up its self explanitory...Great Rammstein song. This song is so freakin eerie sounding. I love it. Its one of those songs that just freaks you out when you listen to it..Who dosent love the German language! Till is a freaggin wako but a awesome wako.....R+
i like this song a lot. it sounds creepy, but that's what is kool about RAMMS+EIN! go till, paul, richard, christoph, olli and flake =)
Okay, where do I get this song from ?? I don't think it's on any Australian release and I am keen to get my hands on it - any advice ??
If you want to get this song, it is on the soundtrack for Resident Evil. It is track number 9. Rammstein rules!
I'm confused, is this song about faith or priests molesting children?
It's about priests molesting children.
As Christian I'd like to point out that comment made no sense.
Anyway, are you sure about the meaning being of priest molestation? I could have sworn it was about The Dancing Banana (yes, THE Dancing Banana! The one of legend).
