About This Track

Released as the third single from Rammstein's untitled seventh studio album in May 2019, 'Ausländer' finds Till Lindemann adopting the persona of a globe-trotting seducer whose only fluency is in brief encounters. The lyrics thread German with snatches of Italian, French, Russian and English, the polyglot chorus a come-on assembled from phrasebook scraps. Lindemann frames himself as the perpetual foreigner, never staying longer than an hour or two before moving on to the next city and the next liaison. The song's title translates as 'foreigner', and the conceit is knowingly absurd: a character who has learned just enough language in each country to charm his way through a one-night stand, then vanishes before sunrise. The repeated refrain 'Ich bin Ausländer' anchors verses that catalogue this itinerant lifestyle with a mix of boastfulness and self-aware comedy, the final lines descending into broken pidgin that undercuts any pretence of sophistication. Rammstein deliver the premise with their usual industrial heft, the arrangement built for arenas even as the lyric winks at its own ridiculousness.

"Ausländer" is a single by Rammstein, from the album Rammstein, released 29th April 1994. The track is 3:52 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Rammstein.

Lyrics

Ausländer

Ich reise viel, ich reise gern
Fern und nah und nah und fern
Ich bin zuhause überall
Meine Sprache: International

Ich mache es gern jedem recht
Ja, mein Sprachschatz ist nicht schlecht
Ein scharfes Schwert im Wortgefecht
Mit dem anderen Geschlecht

Ich bin kein Mann für eine Nacht
Ich bleibe höchstens ein, zwei Stunden
Bevor die Sonne wieder lacht
Bin ich doch schon längst verschwunden
Und ziehe weiter meine Runden

Ich bin Ausländer (Ausländer)
Mi amor, mon chéri
Ausländer (Ausländer)
Ciao, ragazza, take a chance on me

Ich bin Ausländer (Ausländer)
Mon amour, Я люблю тебя
Ein Ausländer (Ausländer)
Come on, baby, c'est, c'est, c'est la vie

Andere Länder, andere Zungen
So hab ich mich schon früh gezwungen
Dem Missverständnis zum Verdruss
Dass man Sprachen lernen muss

Und wenn die Sonne untergeht
Und man vor Ausländerinnen steht
Ist es von Vorteil, wenn man dann
Sich verständlich machen kann

Ich bin kein Mann für eine Nacht
Ich bleibe höchstens ein, zwei Stunden
Bevor die Sonne wieder lacht
Bin ich doch schon längst verschwunden
Und ziehe weiter meine Runden

Ich bin Ausländer (Ausländer)
Mi amor, mon chéri
Ausländer (Ausländer)
Ciao, ragazza, take a chance on me

Ich bin Ausländer (Ausländer)
Mon amour, Я люблю тебя
Ein Ausländer (Ausländer)
Come on, baby, c'est, c'est, c'est la vie

Du kommen mit, ich dir machen gut
Du kommen mit, ich dir machen gut
Du kommen mit, ich dir machen gut
