Rammstein - TATTOO (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
I'm carrying a letter with me
The words burn on the paper
The paper is m-my skin
The words, pictures, colorful and so loud

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show myself yours
Show me yours, I'll show you mine

[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I show my skin
Pictures that are so familiar to me
From the needle, a blue flood
In the pores, the blood boils

[Verse 2]
Those who have to be beautiful also want to suffer
And even death can't do us part
All the pictures on my skin
My children so, so familiar

[Pre-Chorus]
Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Show me yours, I'll show you mine

[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I show my skin
Pictures that are so familiar to me
From the needle a blue flood
In the pores, the blood boils

[Bridge]
I'll engrave myself with your name
Then you're forever here
But when you break us up
I'll search someone who's called the same

[Chorus]
When the blood kisses the ink
When the pain embraces the flesh
I love my skin
Pictures that are so familiar
From the needle a blue flood
In the pores, the blood boils
