Rapunzel
Harpyie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In einem Turm voll wüster Pein
Sie träumte von der fernen Welt
Von Liebe, Schönheit, Ruhm und Geld
Von ihrem Turm sah sie von fern
Den Reiter kommen sie zu frei′n
Doch was sie nicht sah, sein Gesicht
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor'n
Gehüllt in dichten Nebelrauch
Nimmt so das Schicksal seinen Lauf
Das schöne Kind so jung und rein
Wird bald nicht mehr das selbe sein
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar hernieder
Bin hier zu brechen deine Glieder
Bin hier zu schänden deinen Leib
Das ist mein schönster Zeitvertreib
Geruch von faulem toten Fleisch
Steigt nun herauf vom Weltenreich
Das Fräulein schließt die Augen zu
Stürzt sich herab zur letzten Ruh
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor′n
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Dann bist auch du verlor'n
The lyrics to Harpyie's song "Rapunzel" tell the tale of a young woman who lives alone in a tower and dreams of escaping to the outside world. She sees a rider approaching her tower, hoping that he has come to rescue her from her loneliness, but she cannot see his face as he is wearing a mask. The lyrics take a dark turn as the rider reveals himself to be a vile character who plans to defile Rapunzel. The verses paint a picture of a disturbing and violent encounter that leaves Rapunzel with no hope of ever escaping her tower.
The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab" ("Rapunzel, let down your hair"), referencing the traditional fairy tale of Rapunzel, in which the heroine lets down her long hair so that her prince can climb up to her tower. However, in this song, the request has a sinister tone and is used to manipulate and control Rapunzel. The lyrics create a sense of hopelessness and despair as the young woman is trapped in her tower and ultimately meets a tragic end.
Overall, the lyrics of "Rapunzel" explore themes of loneliness, manipulation, and abuse of power. The dark and haunting melody of the song adds to the sense of foreboding and unease that pervades the lyrics.

Ein Fräulein lebte einst allein
Once there was a young girl who lived alone
In einem Turm voll wüster Pein
In a tower filled with wretched pain
Sie träumte von der fernen Welt
She dreamed of the distant world
Von Liebe, Schönheit, Ruhm und Geld
Of love, beauty, fame, and wealth
Von ihrem Turm sah sie von fern
From her tower she could see afar
Den Reiter kommen sie zu frei′n
The rider coming to woo her
Doch was sie nicht sah, sein Gesicht
But what she didn't see was his face
War knochenbleich und widerlich
Pale and repulsive it was in fact
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Rapunzel, let down your hair
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Down into the abyss
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Let us climb up to your tower
Dann bist auch du verlor'n
Then you shall also be lost
Gehüllt in dichten Nebelrauch
Enveloped in dense fog
Nimmt so das Schicksal seinen Lauf
Thus fate takes its course
Das schöne Kind so jung und rein
The beautiful and pure young girl
Wird bald nicht mehr das selbe sein
Will soon not be the same
Bin hier zu brechen deine Glieder
I am here to break your bones
Bin hier zu schänden deinen Leib
I am here to defile your body
Das ist mein schönster Zeitvertreib
That is my favorite pastime
Geruch von faulem toten Fleisch
The smell of rotten dead flesh
Steigt nun herauf vom Weltenreich
Now rises up from the world below
Das Fräulein schließt die Augen zu
The young girl closes her eyes
Stürzt sich herab zur letzten Ruh
Throws herself down to her final rest
Dann bist auch du verlor′n
Then you shall also be lost
Rapunzel, lass dein Haar herab
Rapunzel, let down your hair
Hinunter in das Erdengrab
Down into the abyss
Lass uns erklimmen deinen Turm
Let us climb up to your tower
Dann bist auch du verlor'n
Then you shall also be lost
