    What is the correct English translation of this part from a Rammstein song, the Google translation does not make much sense, maybe it is translating it literally, "Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein Acht, ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen, ich hab euch etwas mitgebracht, ein heller Schein am Firmament, Mein Herz brennt." I know mein herz brennt means my heart burns, but how about the rest?

    Question #56244. Asked by pjotr. (Mar 28 05 8:38 PM)

    		What follows is a translation based partly on half forgotten high school German and partly on the dictionary at:
    http://www.iee.et.tu-dresden.de/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/wernerr/search.sh

    If anyone is better qualified than I to translate, please feel free to correct profusely.

    Now listen up beloved children: I am the voice from the pillow. I have brought you something. A bright light shines in the heavens. My heart burns.

    "you" here is plural and refers to a group of more than one person. The lyrics seem a bit disjointed. Are there parts of the song between the parts you have given here?

    		If you go to the website they have all the translations to their songs:
    http://www.Herzeleid.com

    The full song translates to:

    Now, dear children, pay attention
    I am the voice from the pillow
    I have brought you something
    I ripped it from my chest

    With this heart I have the power
    to blackmail the eyelids
    I sing until the day awakes
    a bright light on the heavens
    my heart burns

    They come to you in the night
    demons, ghosts, black fairies
    they creep out of the cellar shaft
    and will look under your bedding

    Now, dear children, pay attention
    I am the voice from the pillow
    I have brought you something
    a bright light on the heavens
    my heart burns

    They come to you in the night
    and steal your small hot tears
    they wait until the moon awakes
    and put them in my cold veins

    Now, dear children, pay attention
    I am the voice from the pillow
    I sing until the day awakes
    a bright light on the heavens
    my heart burns

    My heart burns


    And part of the song was taken from a children's show called "Das Sandmännchen" (The Little Sandman.)
