Lyrics

[Chorus] Seine Angst ist meine Angst Seine Wut ist meine Wut Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe Sein Blut ist mein Blut
[Verse] Die Flamme dringt in mein Gehirn ein Wie ein Blei-Teddybär Ich bewahre viele Dinge in meinem Herzen auf Deshalb ist mein Herz so schwer
[Chorus] Seine Angst ist meine Angst Seine Wut ist meine Wut Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe Sein Blut ist mein Blut
[Verse] Yo sé muy bien lo que soy Ternura pa'l café Solo soy un terrón de azúcar Sé que me funde el calor Sé desaparecer Cuando tú vienes es cuando me voy
[Chorus] Seine Angst ist meine Angst Seine Wut ist meine Wut (This is divine intervention) Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe Sein Blut ist mein Blut
[Bridge] The only way to save us is through divine intervention The only way I will be saved (Is through) divine intervention
[Outro] I'll fuck you till you love me I'll fuck you till you love me I'll fuck you till you love me Till you love me Till you love me...

Translation

[Chorus] His fear is my fear His anger is my anger His love is my love His blood is my blood
[Verse] The flame penetrates my brain Like a lead teddy bear I keep many things in my heart That's why my heart is so heavy
[Chorus] His fear is my fear His anger is my anger His love is my love His blood is my blood
[Verse] I know very well what I am Tenderness for the coffee I'm just a sugar cube I know that the heat melts me I know how to disappear When you come is when I leave
[Chorus] His fear is my fear His anger is my anger (This is divine intervention) His love is my love His blood is my blood
[Bridge] The only way to save us is through divine intervention The only way I will be saved (Is through) divine intervention
[Outro] I'll fuck you 'til you love me I'll fuck you 'til you love me I'll fuck you 'til you love me 'Til you love me 'Til you love me...

The Deeper Meaning of "Berghain"
A Symphony of Obsessive Connection

"Berghain" is not just a song; it's a sonic immersion into the abyss of obsessive love and identity fusion. The track uses the notorious Berlin nightclub as a metaphor for a relationship that is dark, all-consuming, and transcendent. The German chorus, "Seine Angst ist meine Angst... Sein Blut ist mein Blut" ("His fear is my fear... His blood is my blood"), establishes the central theme: a complete dissolution of self into another, where individual emotions and even physical being become shared.

ROSALÍA's Spanish verse introduces a conflicting sense of self-awareness and fragility. She knows she is like a "sugar cube" that melts in the heat of this passion, acknowledging her tendency to "disappear" when the object of her affection arrives. This highlights the paradox of losing oneself in love while being acutely aware of the erasure. The call for "divine intervention" signifies the overwhelming nature of this bond—it's too powerful for mortals to handle alone, requiring a higher power to either save or sanctify it.

Finally, Yves Tumor's raw, repetitive outro strips away the poetry, exposing the carnal, almost violent desperation at the core of this obsession. The line "I'll fuck you 'til you love me" is a primal scream, a demand for reciprocity that mirrors the relentless, pounding beat of a techno club. It's the chaotic, physical culmination of the song's emotional and spiritual turmoil, leaving the listener in the same breathless, overstimulated state one might feel after a night at Berghain.
