I'm Polish and long time ago I learnt the German language - at that time I discovered Reinhard Mey and I fell in love with his music, voice and lyrics. After so many years nothing has changed, I still like him a lot. Thank you for reminding me Reinhard Mey - I'm coming back to listening to his music and to the German language because in the original language the songs are always the nicest. ♥
also quite a bit of context is lost. Like "we name airports [...] after the worst ones" - the song is from 1996. In 1992 the new airport in munich was named after Franz Josef Strauß. The part about peacekeeping missions and sable-rattling is probably about the "peacekeeping missions" during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s -- and "since five ö'clock this morning we've been shooting back" references Hitlers speech at the beginning of World War Two: "since 5:45 we're shooting back" (after a false-flag "attack")
Reinhard Mey is a poet. He has critical songs, songs about the nice things in life, sad things, his children, very little things, like a sandwich with butter, a mug of chocolate or his father's coat and even really funny songs. In one of his concerts I laughed so hard the whole evening I nearly fell off my seat. You wouldn't believe it when you listen to him here, but it's true. He is special. Just a little thin man in black clothes and his guitar on a stage and the audience, small or big, listens to every syllable he is singing. Extraordinary.
Reinhard Mey is one of the great contemporary German poets. He knows how to turn words into power. Whoever did the translation did an excellent job, but in German it sounds even better.
Reinhard Mey was born in berlin during ww2, when the city was bombed and destroyed, and grew up during the cold war, he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to peace, war and politics. The lyrics were translated perfectly! I hope you listen to more of his songs, he’s a legend, even today at age 81.
Reinhard Mey wrote this song 1996 and for me it sounds like it was from yesterday. And yes, the text is brilliant in German and the translation ist really good. He was born 1942 in Berlin. In the times of bombs, hunger and freezing. I suppose, his playground was the rubble of destroyed Berlin houses. He got famous in the 60s and I grew up with his music in a time of many important singers/songwriters.
The times were always like this, since civilasation exist. And that is the sad part, we humans just refuse to learn from it and step in the same trap every time.
I am not giving my son...meinen Sohn gebe ich nicht...This is the best of Reinhard Mey, and even more topical, given everything that is going on in the world👍
Wenn man bedenkt dass er das Lied 2003 veröffentlicht und es immer noch Aktuell ist und leider aktuell bleiben wird und dass gilt für seine ganze Musik. Ich höre ihn schon seit Ich ein Kind wahr und ich bin jetzt 45 Jahre alt. Ich habe ihn durch meine Eltern kennen gelernt und ich mochte einfach seine Stimme aber je Älter Ich wurde und erkannt habe was für wichtige und Starke Botschaften in seiner Musik erzählt gefällt sie mir noch mehr wie als Kind
Ich kenne schon seit Jahren "Über den Wolken" und "Maikäfer", was ja schon Kritik beinhaltet. Aber " Sei wachsam" und " Ich gebe meine Söhne nicht" sind der Knaller und laufen in keinem ( mir bekannten Radiosender). Die sollten vor jeder Nachrichtensendung laufen, so als Einleitung.
Für mich war jahrelang "über den Wolken " sein berühmtestes Lied 🥲 Über das Lied, "nein meine Söhne geb ich nicht" wurde ich wieder auf ihn und seine tiefgründigen Botschaften für die Menschen aufmerksam😃 Jetzt erst 🤦🏻♀️ Dieses Lied könnte sämtliche Nachrichten im Fernsehen ersetzten, denn wahrhafter und anschaulicher kann man es fast nicht mehr darstellen☝️‼️‼️ Danke Reinhard Mey für dieses Lied ❤ Thank you for sanding around the World 🙏❤❤❤
He is a gem of a songwriter or more a poet who is speaking from his heart and abot things surrounding all of us. No matter if it is serious and so very important or funny as hell like some of his songs are too (men in the hardware store, I am a plumber by profession, Some idiot is always mowing somewhere, not sure if there's a translation) he is always describing the reality masterfully using the language like a painter colors. The translation is very good here but it's even more effective in German as he is using every nuance of the language and some are really hard to translate (it's literally like translating poetry), not to mention his lyrics are three or four times longer than most songs you hear.
Dear D, I can tell you, that Reinhard Mey's German lyrics are even better - much better! - than the translation and it would be worth, doing many more of his songs as he has always been an outstanding master of words, a real poet during his very long career! Cheers from Switzerland, Leo
There is another great song from him on a similar topic. It's called "Das Narrenschiff", "The ship of fools". I will see if there is a video with english lyrics.
for a brief moment I was afraid this was the studio version. glad to hear the guitar from the live show right away. powerful song (background, I think he tried to make this song go mainstream and didn't catch the "modern" right. he's a chanson singer known for his guitar arpeggios with band and tried to do some avant-garde hip-hop-ish thing. in hindsight he should've released a version in his style and invite other musicians to cover it for their audiences.)
Reinhard May ist seit meiner Jugend ein Held für mich. Seine Lieder sind einfach nur genial ❤❤ Hört Euch (Meine Söhne gib ich nicht ) an. Der ist aus den 80 igern. Aber aktueller denn je. ❤🎉🎉
Oh yes, he´s a genius. This Song is good in English but it´s even better in German. If you also like him look for his songs "das Narrenschiff" und "Kai" they are also great. Or an really old one (1974) "Was kann schöner sein auf Erden als Politiker zu werden" , and maybe the Song "Es ist an der Zeit" from R. Mey, Hannes Wader und Konstantin Wecker. All this Songs shows the reason why we must be aware. Good luck und Grüße aus Deutschland.
Reinhold Mey is maby the most intelligent, poetic and underestimated singer/ songwriter we have in Germany. He predicted so much 30 years ago, it's freaking me out. Listen to Narrenschiff (fools ship) or Nein, meine Söhne geb ich nicht (No, you won't get my sons) and you can tell.
This songtext is good in english but in german is the song a pound deeper... In the German language, 50% of the message is in the text, but the other half is expressed through the intonation of the words. So if you only read the text, its possible that you only get the half message. That's why one and the same sentence can have several meanings, even completely opposite ones.
Reinhard Mey, one of our best singer /songwriters ❤ The lyrics work fantastic in German, there are a lot of rhymes in it. Thank you for your reaction ❤
Thank you so much for reacting to one of our most honest songwriters. Times are getting darker and darker and it's so important to be vigilant. Always keep your eyes open my friend! Best regards from Germany

In fact in german it has lot more expression . But the translation is great. You can’t translate everyday sayings in another language without lost. There is a song with Reinhard Mey, Konstantin Wecker and Hannes Wader called „Es ist an der Zeit“ you will love when you like this one
"Es ist an der Zeit" is originally by Hannes Wader alone (1980) - and itself an interpretation of Eric Bogles No Man’s Land (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride")
Reinhard host a show at the Bavarian broadcast call " Songs an einem Sommerabend". The bosses tell him" If you sing this song you will lost the show" but Mr. Mey was never able to bend his knee. He sing this song and he lost the show. When Bode Wartke takes over the show he invite Mr. Mey as much as he can because he is a huge fan of Mr. Mey. They will silent you!
@Reactions by D Hello from Germany, I fully agree with your comment at the end of the video. All over the world, people are being lied to by their governments, but that has always been the case and as long as the masses of people don't change anything, it will stay that way. And it will become more and more difficult because most people are less and less willing to leave their comfort zone. As long as they have a car, a TV and at least one vacation a year, they are happy. I always like your comments on the videos and you have definitely gained a loyal fan here in Germany. I recommend the two titles with English translation : ruclips.net/video/_v-UgzTQXOk/видео.html New version ruclips.net/video/8DTkzmikotw/видео.html Herzliche Grüße
The German Lyrics are even better than the English translation ! Reinhard Mey is one of the greatest contemporary German poets . He also speaks French perfectly : His poems are published in French schoolbooks !
Ton Steine Scherben - Der Traum ist aus (English Subtitles) (beware of long instrumentals ;) sadly not a lot of Rio Reiser and Ton Steine Scherben has translations
Hello, Reinhard Mey's texts are fascinating. Sometimes funny, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes simply taken from life and often critical. Even in the critical songs, he doesn't stop at anything and everyone gets their comeuppance. Songs such as “Der Bruder” (The Brother) sing about the prejudice against other skin colors, “Alles OK in Guantanamo Bay” (Everything OK in Guantanamo Bay) sings about the ignorance of the USA towards critics, “Das Narrenschiff” (The Ship of Fools) sings about the top 10,000 who are ruining the country, “Nie wieder Krieg” (Never again war) sings about the senselessness of war, just like the song “Der Wind geht allezeit über das Land” (The wind always blows over the land) or “Es ist an der Zeit” (It's about time). But there are also songs that remind us of our German past, such as “Die Kinder von Izeau”.
You love Reinhard Mey-songs ans lyrics?! So you must listen to songs from Hannes Wader. He and Reinhard Mey are very close friends in mind. And Hannes Wader is an excellent guitar player...
07:22 Believe me, in german even better than the english translation. It loses a lot in the translation because the lyrics are "customized" for the german language and soundmelody. And for some german words and expression simply exist no valid english translation. The english lyrics are good and meet the gist of it, but will never reach the level of the original. I think that is normal with every piece of art. I read books that I enjoyed in english but not really the german translation. Even worse with dubbed stuff like video games, movies, tv-shows. If possible one should always watch the original since so much stuff gets lost in translation and efford of the actors/actresses. Example: Meryl Streep is a great actress who works a lot with her voice and the expression of her voice. Like different styles and accents. The german dubbing of her movies is, well.. its good, but not even close to the original. And I could list tons of games which are unplayable for me in the german translation (vocal and text). Like Mass Effect trilogy. I didnt last 10 minutes with the german version before I switched back to the original. It just rubs me wrong.
Great reaction. This man has more Songs, but a other AntiWarSong is: "Nein meine Söne geb ich nicht" In English " No, I will not give my sons" He sang this with his Friends ruclips.net/video/1q-Ga3myTP4/видео.htmlsi=Ov4dRbM4iAa-3ABY
I recommend "meine Söhne geb ich nicht" (i dont give my sons) by him. The greatest anti war song i ever heard. ruclips.net/video/1q-Ga3myTP4/видео.htmlsi=aLwQbKLEM_0L6USY
To be honest, I think this song is quite problematic and the message is not very good. He takes exactly the same line as demagogues who say, that every politician is a liar who just wants power and doesn't care about the people ("underlings" "be on your guard"). That completely negelcts the compexities of political decisions and processes, compromising and the normal democatic way of gouverning. Of course some politicians are bad, some just don't know better, some actually don't care about the people, but a lot of them really want the best for their country and, at least in Germany and the USA, most people really do live quite good lives. The constitution ensures freedom, the rights against the state and if you look into statistics you see, how high the freedom is in the USA and Germany. While it is generally necessary to keep an eye on the factual freedom and things like the influence of media tycoons etc., the way he generalizes things and calls on the people to distrust everyone who is in power, paves the way for easy messages and populist messias-figures that emerge everywhere today.
You've got some important point here. But I think Reinhard Mey is not saying every single politician is dishonest. He's refering to those who are, I guess.
I was a part-time politician for quite some time when I was younger. It is my impression that there is a substantial difference between those people and politicians that do politics for a living and never haven’t done anything else but politics. I was a senior lecturer in chemistry, in that profession, I earned as much in a week as I was paid for my efforts in politics in an entire year. I spent that for attending party meetings, so the net gain was zero. But I can only tell for my Scandinavian home country.

Reinhard Mey's texts are fascinating.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes simply taken from life and often critical.
Even in the critical songs, he doesn't stop at anything and everyone gets their comeuppance.
Songs such as “Der Bruder” (The Brother) sing about the prejudice against other skin colors, “Alles OK in Guantanamo Bay” (Everything OK in Guantanamo Bay) sings about the ignorance of the USA towards critics, “Das Narrenschiff” (The Ship of Fools) sings about the top 10,000 who are ruining the country, “Nie wieder Krieg” (Never again war) sings about the senselessness of war, just like the song “Der Wind geht allezeit über das Land” (The wind always blows over the land) or “Es ist an der Zeit” (It's about time).
But there are also songs that remind us of our German past, such as “Die Kinder von Izeau”.

You've got some important point here. But I think Reinhard Mey is not saying every single politician is dishonest. He's refering to those who are, I guess.
I was a part-time politician for quite some time when I was younger. It is my impression that there is a substantial difference between those people and politicians that do politics for a living and never haven’t done anything else but politics. I was a senior lecturer in chemistry, in that profession, I earned as much in a week as I was paid for my efforts in politics in an entire year. I spent that for attending party meetings, so the net gain was zero. But I can only tell for my Scandinavian home country.
