Rammstein - Du Hast

Wikipedia: "Du Hast" is a song by the German Industrial rock band Rammstein from the 1997 album Sehnsucht. The song is one of the band's best known worldwide, owing to its inclusion on the soundtrack of The Matrix and heavy airplay on MTV. It has also been featured in other films, such as CKY2K and 1999's How High. It is oftentimes the only Rammstein song any American radio station will play, let alone have in its library.

The video for the song was influenced by Reservoir Dogs[citation needed].

Two versions can be found, one with the chorus and first three verses in English, and another completely in German. The lyrics to the English version are not a translation of the lyrics in German.

The whole song is a play on German wedding vows.

The refrain ("Willst du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?") roughly translates, "Do you want to remain faithful to her for all days, until death separates you?" Instead of answering with "ja" (yes), the singer says "nein" (no), finally answering the question to which he replied "nothing" earlier in the song ("du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt", which translates, "You asked me, and I said nothing"). As stated earlier, the English version of Du Hast is not translated, but changed altogether
