Dont mean to be pedantic, but 'Du Hast' in the case of the song stands for 'You Hate' as even though it is written 'hast' it actually uses the verb 'hassen' as opposed to 'haben'.

I suppose it is because they didnt want to use the german symbol for a 'double s' (or 'es tzet' as it is pronounced)

Cracking song though, easily one of my favourites and from one of my favourite bands.

Theres quite a good translation on youtube for the meanings, and theres a lot of debate over which word they actually mean...But that's Ramstein for you :)

In situations like this I refer to the official website:

"Rammstein - Du hast
"Du hast' does NOT mean 'you hate,' but really 'you have.' Yes, I know that on the english version of du hast at the end of the Sehnsucht album and the lyrics on the official page say 'you hate,' but to say you hate, there has to be another s, du hasst. The infinitive form of hate is hassen, while the infinitive form of have is haben. Haben is an irregular verb, so when it's conjugated into the you/du form, it's hast. The only reason the song was 'translated' as 'you hate' is to appeal to an english speaking audience, but luckily, radios refused to play this Rammstein version of the song and stuck to the german version. The same applies to Rammstein Engel's 'english version.'"
