Zunge English translation
von Till Lindemann

There is a hole in the face
That is the mouth with which one speaks
A word falls from the thoughts
The tongue provides the word's transport
I seek questions to every answer
I have the need to say everything, now and always
I can speak them or sing them
The words force

My tongue has no bone
And that's why I say what I want
Oh, my heart, it is broken
But it still beats
Never stops
My tongue


There's a hole in the face
Because it doesn't work without language
But it happens that one is mistaken
When heart and mind are so confused
I have to say it, can't contain myself
It's the wind beneath my wings
Is the storm beneath my wings
The words force

My tongue has no bone
And that's why I say what I want
Oh, my heart, it is broken
But it still beats
Never stops
My tongue

The fine word has always been my enemy
So many words were not meant that way
So much language, so mean
So many have cried so much

My tongue has no bone
And that's why I say what I want
Oh, my heart, it is broken
But it still beats
Never stops
My tongu


My tongue is trapped
And it cannot free itself
Your teeth are white pincers
Can't sing
Can't even scream
