Feuer Frei! Lyrics in English Rammstein

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Feuer Frei! by Rammstein from German to English.
Scorned is whoever knows pain
By the fire that burns the skin
I throw a light
Onto my face
A hot scream
Fire at will!
Bang Bang
Bang Bang
Ennobled is whoever knows pain
By the fire that burns into lust
A burst of sparks
Into her womb
A hot scream
Fire at will!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Dangerous is whoever knows pain
By the fire that burns the mind
Bang bang
Dangerous the burned child
With fire that cuts from life
A hot scream
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Your luck
Isn't my luck
It's my misfortune
Your luck
Isn't my luck
It's my misfortune
Bang bang
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Bang bang
Bang bang
Fire at will!
Bang bang

SONG MEANING

Feuer Frei! literally means “open fire”, and Rammstein turns this command into a blazing anthem about the thin line between pain, pleasure, and power. The lyrics paint images of skin-searing flames and explosive sparks as metaphors for raw emotion and reckless desire. Every shouted “Bang bang” feels like both a gunshot and a heartbeat, showing how danger can be thrilling. By repeating that only those who know pain are “ennobled”, the song suggests that intense experiences—whether physical, emotional, or erotic—forge a tougher, almost exalted self.

At the same time, the band warns that this flirtation with fire comes at a cost. “Dein Glück ist nicht mein Glück, ist mein Unglück” (“Your happiness is not my happiness, it’s my misfortune”) hints at the isolation and self-destruction lurking beneath the adrenaline rush. In short, Feuer Frei! is a roaring celebration of living on the edge, charged with military imagery and industrial guitars, yet it also questions whether the heat that empowers can ultimately burn us away.
