Mein Land Lyrics in English Rammstein

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mein Land by Rammstein from German to English.
Where you going, where?
I go with myself from east to south
Where you going, where?
I go with myself from south to west
Where you going, where?
I go with myself from west to north
There he comes running
With the flag in his hand
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My land
My land
You're here in my land
Where you going, where?
I go with myself from north to east
Where you going, where?
I go with myself from east to west
Where you going, where?
I go from land to land alone
And nothing and nobody invites me to stay
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My wave and my beach
A voice out of the light
Falls off the sky's face
Tears the horizon in two
Where you going, there's nothing free here anymore
That's my land
That's my land
That's my land
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My wave and my beach
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My wave and my beach
My land
My land
You're here in my land
My wave and my beach
My land
My land
My land
My land

SONG MEANING

Surf rock guitars, a sunny beach video, and a chorus that shouts Mein Land – Rammstein love to play with contrasts. On the surface the lyrics sound like an anthem of pride: the singer marches from East to South, North to West, forever planting his flag and declaring “You are in my land.” But the further he walks, the clearer it becomes that he is alone, never invited to stay, and his borders keep shifting with him. The song turns into a tongue-in-cheek critique of blind nationalism: if everywhere you stand is yours, do you truly belong anywhere?

Behind the pounding drums lies a warning. Images of “my wave and my beach” feel welcoming at first, yet the voice from the sky suddenly says “here is nothing free.” Rammstein expose how possessiveness can twist beauty into exclusion, turning open shores into guarded frontiers. Mein Land invites listeners to dance, laugh at the exaggerated chest-thumping, and then question where patriotic pride ends and xenophobia begins.
