Du Hast

Du Hast is the title of a song by the German rock group Rammstein. The title is commonly interpreted as "You Hate", but it's really a long play on words as you can see in the literal translation below:

Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt

Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet
Treu ihr sein fuer alle Tage

Nein

Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide
Sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen

Nein
You
You have*
You have me*
You have asked me
You have asked me and I have said nothing

Will you until death does you part
Be faithful to her for all days

No

Will you until death which would separate**
Love her also in bad days

No

(*) Du hast means You have, but Du haßt means You hate, and sounds the same.
(**) Tod, der scheide (without capital and with a comma) means death which would separate, whereas Tod der Scheide (with a capital S and without comma) means death of the vagina.
