Oh, now, really...

There's a few lines in a Rammstein song (Rein Raus) which have been bothering me for a while. Surely, I thought, I must be mishearing...

Today I finally bestirred myself to google for the lyrics.

"Tiefer tiefer
sag es sag es laut
tiefer tiefer
ich fühl mich wohl in deiner Haut
und tausend Elefanten brechen aus"

Which I'd translate as:

Deeper, deeper
Say it, say it loud.
Deeper, deeper.
I feel myself within your skin,
and one thousand elephants break out.

And the rather excellent translations available here suggest I'm not too far out.

Nope, I'm not mishearing.

Eh ? Elephants ?

One of the reasons to learn german is so that I can comprehend half the music I listen to.
