Although the German phrase does not translate to English, "Du hast" can
mean "you have," but it can also mean "you hate." Therefore the song has
two meanings. One being sort of "You hate me but still want to marry
me" (the song is about marriage) and the other being "You want to marry
me but I don't want to." (thanks, Oscar - Stockholm, Sweden)
"Hast" is a conjugation of the base form "haben" which means "to have."
To hate, would be the verb "hassen" which would be conjugated as "Du
hasst mich" (you hate me). Though they are similar they are not
homophones in that the S sounds in "hasst" for "hate" would be stressed a
little more then it would in "hast" for "have." This is confirmed when
Till says, "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nights gesagt," which
literally means "You have asked me and I have said nothing. "Hast" is
used as the "haben" helper verb for the past participle "gefragt," of
which its base form is "fragen," which means "to ask." (thanks, Scott -
Vincennes, IN)
