According to Lyrics Mode, the term Du Hast is the name of a 1997 Rammstein song, from the album Made in Germany. In this song, the term du hast has a double meaning. First, du hast means “you have” in German. However, this is a homonym for the phrase “du hasst” which means “you hate.” This gives the song a double meaning, as the lyrics could either mean that the person he is singing to has him or hates him. The lyrics can ead as either “you have me” or “you hate me,” represented by the German lyrics “du hast mich gefragt” or potentially “du hasst mich gefragt.” In the English version, the lyrics are usually written as “you have me” following the title of the song. This loses a bit of the double meaning and wordplay that the band was going for by using the homophones in the German language. Sometimes song meanings can change between languages.
Rammstein is a Deutsch (German) metal band from Germany, also known as Deutschland. Band members include Till Lindemann, Richard Zven Kruspe, Christian Lorenz, Christoph Schneider, Oliver Riedel, and Paul Landers. The song’s German lyrics are below, from Song Facts.
