What are they singing at 00:36?@frostlikeashes @notafraidofredyellowandblue

Watch "RAMMSTEIN ГОВОРЯТ НА РУССКОМ! Самый большой сборник фраз и интервью!" on YouTube

[notafraidofredyellowandblue]

This song is based on an old Feeling B song "Lied von der Unruhevolen Jugend" (Song of the restless youth), which is based on a original russian song (from Rammwiki: "The original Russian song is titled Песня о тревожной молодости (Pesnya o trevozhnoy molodosti) and was written by Александра Пахмутова (Aleksandra Pakhmutova) and Лев Ошанин (Lev Oshanin) in 1958".

From Rammwiki i get that the version Rammstein played in the Russian concert above is a slightly altered version of it, but you can clearly recognise the original

i always love this Feeling B version with Paul and Flake doing the vocals at the start and then around 2m30 Aljoscha coming in (Aljoscha was famously unreliable as a singer, sometimes he showed up late for a song (like here) or not at all) and even by that short part the he does, you can tell that he is actually the singer 🥰

eta

this is a version of the original song

which would be imo the way the GDR guys would have known it 😊 afaik the original song title translates to "Song of Troubled Youth" (or "Lied der unruhigen Jugend" in German), but i guess the Feeling B one feels much more like 'troubled youth' than this, and that was probably exactly why the East-punks made their version 🌺
