Apparently it's a play on German wedding vows. There’s a much better lyrics page with a translation by someone who knows what he’s doing that has a bit of discussion on the du hast/du hasst thing.

So the band is fucking with us too! :) Actually, just to add a bit more confusion, we have the Wikipedia entry which states that the band’s english translation was a non-literal translation.

I prefer, “I wish you a sentiment appropriate to whatever holiday you are observing, in whichever religion that is. Please don’t hurt me.”

This may be delievered to followers of any religion.

I agree that the written lyrics are a different thing and they are clear, but I would bet that Rammstein on Purpose fiddeled a bit with the double meaning of the words.

(BTW, worst translation ever. There were no English classes in East Germany...) If Hallmark ever makes a card where you re-state the fact that you rejected a marriage proposal, that would be the theme song... I'd just like to add that with sufficient amounts of weed, a connection between Hotel California and Yom Kippur could be found. Then again, with sufficient amounts _anything_ can be connected with Hotel California...

Have fasting and flowers always gone together? I came across such a treat this past weekend while shopping at the local Jewel Osco with Les. It was next to the 'Mexican Heritage Bouquet' [?!] in the grocery store's flower section. Hey brother Joe,

"You hate" would be "Du hasst", but in actual fact the song translates as "You have", ending in "Du hast mich", which translates to "You have me". CAN be heard as "You hate me", but the german lyrics are quite clear :) Just a quick comment on the “Du hast” note: It’s not “You hate”, though it could be understood as such. “You hate” would be “Du hasst”, but in actual fact the song translates as “You have”, ending in “Du hast mich”, which translates to “You have me”.
