This song is a commemoration of the air show disaster which occurred in Ramstein-Miesenbach on 28th August 1988 in which three planes collided while performing the Pierced Heart formation. All three pilots and sixty seven spectators died, with hundreds seriously injured.

LOL -- nice try ;) The words in German:

Rammstein
Ein Mensch brennt
Rammstein
Fleischgeruch liegt in der Luft
Rammstein
ein Kind stirbt
Rammstein
die Sonne scheint

Rammstein
ein Flammenmeer
Rammstein
Blut gerinnt auf dem Asphalt
Rammstein
Mütter schreien
Rammstein
die Sonne scheint

Rammstein
ein Massengrab
Rammstein
kein Entrinnen
Rammstein
kein Vogel singt mehr
Rammstein
die Sonne scheint

The translation in English (from www.herzeleid.com):

Rammstein
A man is burning
Rammstein
The smell of flesh lies in the air
Rammstein
A child is dying
Rammstein
The sun is shining

Rammstein
A sea of flames
Rammstein
Blood is coagulating on the asphalt
Rammstein
Mothers are screaming
Rammstein
The sun is shining

Rammstein
A mass grave
Rammstein
No escape
Rammstein
No birds are singing anymore
Rammstein
The sun is shining

It's about the airshow disaster at Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany, which is where Rammstein got their name from.
