About This Track
“Du hast” (German, “you have”) is a song by the German Tanz-Metall band Rammstein from the 1997 album Sehnsucht. The song is one of the band’s best known worldwide, owing to its inclusion on the soundtrack of The Matrix and heavy airplay on MTV. It has also been featured in other films, such as CKY2K and 2001’s How High, as well as TV’s Gilmore Girls in the episode “Presenting Lorelai Gilmore”.
The video for the song was influenced by Reservoir Dogs.
Two versions can be found, one with the chorus and first three verses in English, and another completely in German. The lyrics to the English version are not a translation of the lyrics in German.
The song hit #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the United States. It is the highest charting German language song in the history of that chart.
Lyrics
The whole song is a play on German wedding vows.
The refrain (“Willst du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?”) translates to “Will you, until Death separates you, be faithful to her forever?” Instead of answering with “ja” (“yes”), the singer says “nein” (“no”), finally breaking his silence earlier in the song: “Du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt”, which translates to “You asked me, and I said nothing.”
As stated earlier, the English version of Du Hast is not translated, but changed altogether (“Du hasst” (du haßt) means “you hate”. The extra “s” differentiates it from the conjugated verb form of haben (to have).

ok it is: 1. "you..." 2. "you have..." OR "you hate..." 3. "you have (got) me" OR "you hate me" OR "you have [waiting for verb] me" 4. "you have asked me". all intended confusion because of the same pronounciation of two different words and the position of the verb at the end in this kind of sentence.

Actually, the first three words is not 'you hate me', but 'you have me', due to there only being one 's' in 'hast'. it can be a bit confusing.

yes it's ambiguous. "du hasst mich" = you hate me, but "du hast mich (gefragt)" (with one s) = you have (asked) me.

it's pretty obvious. But am I the one who think that listening songs we don't understand is stupid? You can just look to the dictionary and check.

You 'have' me, you 'hate' me. It is a bit ambigous. Has anyone else heard that?
