Till Lindemann's 'Messer' - "Sautod"

Come on, come on, just a little closer…

Boy, are you in for a treat with this one. This poem is the origin of Waidmanns Heil. The demo version is linked because that has two extra lines from ‘Sautod’ sung in it, thus giving it extra relevance.

I’d also appreciate corrections from those who are familiar with Waidmannssprache.

A delectable soup for the soul.

This is actually a fairly mild one. (The poem, not the soup.) I think this translation is genuinely as good as it gets!
