Translations for Rammstein

A note about my translations for Rammstein:
If you go online looking for the English versions, you'll find controversy.
Rammstein's lyrics are complex and don't always translate word for word
in a way which fits the song (i.e. rhythm & rhyme schemes). "Du Hast/You Hate"
being a prime example. The translations I was hired to do and worked on
with Till Lindemann were done with singing in mind. That is to say,
word for word meaning took a back seat to the rhythm and the rhyme schemes in the songs.
If you don't speak German and you're looking for 'literal' translations, then
there are plenty of web sites with word for word meaning.
