| Rosenrot tracklist | |
Te quiero puta! is the ninth song on the album Rosenrot by Rammstein.
Background
- The song features Carmen Zapata on the backing vocals.
- In March 2004, a song with the length of 3:34 entitled Ich bin was found in the GEMA database. Later that month the German magazine "Sonic Seducer" published a tracklist of the 4th album, where Ich bin was listed as the sixth track.[2] According to some people who have heard this song, it had different, German lyrics, the line sung in the chorus was "Ich bin ergeben, so ergeben". Paul confirmed in an interview that the song was eventually reworked and subsequently released with new, Spanish lyrics as Te quiero puta!.[3] According to him, the main guitar riff was not changed, the first line of the first verse was "Ich steckte meinen linken Fuß in einen Pfuhl, der stinken muss" and the chorus was "Оmm, wie erleuchtet... Omm, ich bin total erleuchtet". The band members did not like these lyrics, so Till had to come up with something different for the song.[4] Some of these lyrics were released in 2015 as the poem Hare Krishna in Till's book In stillen Nächten.
