Frau und MannLetras, Traducción al Español y Significado

This song is built around a pretty simple but effective concept: opposites attract. The bulk of the lyrics are just a long list of contrasting pairs, black and white, hot and cold, rich and poor, love and hate, war and peace, and so on. It reads almost like a children's book at first, just cataloguing the basic dualities of existence. But the point is to set up the central idea that everything in life has its counterpart, and that tension between opposites is fundamental to how the world works.

Where it gets more personal is in the bridge, when Lindemann shifts from abstract pairs to something intimate. He starts saying things like "I can't lie down when I'm standing, I can't stand when I'm walking," which are just stating obvious physical truths, and then he slips in "I can't forget you." That line lands differently because it follows the same grammatical pattern as all these simple, undeniable facts. Forgetting this person is apparently just as impossible as defying the laws of nature. It's a quietly devastating way to express being unable to move on from someone.

The closing lines tie it all together: "always shadows, little light, but without love it won't work." Despite all the darkness and contradiction built into life, love is presented as the one non-negotiable. The song is emotionally warmer and more straightforward than a lot of Lindemann's work, almost playful in its structure, but underneath the list-making there's a real longing. The whole thing is essentially a love song dressed up as a philosophy lesson.
