Genius English Translations
Rammstein - Klavier (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
They tell me "Unlock this door"
Curiosity becomes a scream, what could be behind it?
Behind this door stands a piano
The keys are dusty, the strings are out of tune
Behind this door, she sits at the piano
But she doesn't play anymore, oh, that was so long ago

[Chorus]
There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath

[Verse 2]
She said to me, "I'll always stay with you"
But it only seemed that she played for me alone
I poured her blood into the fire of my rage
I locked the door, they asked for her

[Chorus]
There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
I stood beside her
It seemed
She played for me alone
[Verse 3]
The door is open, oh, how they scream
I hear mother pleading, father is beating me
They take her from the piano and no one believes me here
That I am deathly ill from sorrow and the stench

[Chorus]
There, at the piano
I listened to her
And when her performance began
I held my breath
There, at the piano
She listened to me
And when my performance began
She held her breath
