Weiberfell Lyrics in English by In Extremo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Weiberfell by In Extremo from German to English.
Ich fing ihr Herz an einem Sommertag
I caught her heart on a summer day
Der auf dem Wasser so müde lag
That lay so weary on the water
Die Luft erbrach sich fast vor Fruchtbarkeit
The air almost burst with fertility
Und unsereins der hat schon lang nicht mehr
And our kind hasn't for a long time
Sich in ein Weiberfell hineingewühlt
Burrowed into a woman's skin
Sie sang ihr schönstes Lied so schwarz wie Teer
She sang her most beautiful song as black as tar
Bis die Nacht herunterfiel
Until the night fell
Da lag sie da ohne ihr Kleid
There she lay without her dress
Ich hieb Drei Zweige ab vom Strauch
I cut three branches from the bush
Und legte sie dann auf ihren Bauch
And then laid them on her belly
Sie war so jung und alt genug
She was so young and old enough
Und auch der Nabel war versteckt vom Haar
And her navel was hidden by hair
Und tief darunter lag der Muschelmund
And deep beneath it lay the p*ssy
Egal was ihr so von mir denkt
No matter what you think of me
Sie hat mir nicht nur eine Nacht geschenkt
She didn't just give me one night
Leider schnell wie Schnee der zerrinnt
Unfortunately quickly like melting snow
:Nur ein Traum am bleichen Teich
Just a dream by the pale pond
Zuletzt hat mich das Luder doch genarrt
In the end, the b*tch fooled me after all
Ohne ihre Mund, das Gras war hart
Without her mouth, the grass was hard
Und auch das Wasser ist kein WeiberschoÃ?
And the water is no woman's lap
Wenn man sich am bleichen Teich verirrt
If one gets lost by the pale pond
Mit einer Mondfrau paart vielleicht
Perhaps mates with a moon-woman
Wird dann mein Herz die Schmerzen los
Will my heart then be rid of the pain
Und singt der Liebe bald ein neues Lied
And soon sings a new song to love
Wie ein Netz die Muscheln aus der Tiefe zicht
Like a net draws the shells from the deep
:Nur ein Traum am bleichen Teich
Just a dream by the pale pond

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Weiberfell — woman's pelt / woman's skin
Weiberfell is a fascinating and somewhat archaic compound word. Literally, it translates to "woman's pelt" or "woman's skin," combining Weiber (plural of Weib, an older, sometimes derogatory term for woman) and Fell (pelt, fur, skin).
In the context of this song, it evokes a primal, almost animalistic intimacy, suggesting a deep, physical connection with a woman. It's a word that immediately grabs attention due to its unusual nature and the vivid imagery it conjures, making it memorable and enticing for a learner.
