Es brenntLetras, Traducción al Español y Significado

This song is essentially a critique of people who want passion, intensity, and excitement in their lives but only on safe, comfortable terms. The central image is fire, which throughout German Romanticism and beyond has stood for desire, emotion, and transformation. Lindemann sets up the paradox right away: people want to burn, but not too hot. Not too loud, not too quiet, not too cold, not too warm. They want the feeling of flame without any risk of actually getting scorched, and he treats this as a kind of spiritual cowardice or emotional mediocrity.

The song builds toward something darker as it goes on. That middle section about pain and fire loving each other, resting together on ashes, is a reminder that real passion and real suffering are inseparable. You cannot have one without the other, and the warning "don't stick your hand in the embers" is delivered almost mockingly, because the people he is describing would never dream of doing that anyway. They have already reinvented fire with the heat removed, which for Lindemann is essentially no fire at all, just a cold flame with no ember, which is a contradiction and an absurdity.

By the end the tone shifts from irony to something more savage. He calls it "Einfalt," which means simplemindedness or naivety, and says stupidity has its price. The flame eventually bites, laughing, into the dumb flesh of people who thought they could have intensity without consequence. So the song is not really a warning so much as a dark, sardonic observation that people who try to sanitize experience will eventually get burned anyway, and harder for having been so unprepared.
