We’re charging our battery
And now we’re full of energy
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We’re functioning automatic
And we are dancing mechanic
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
Я твой слуга
Я твой работник
Я твой слуга
Я твой работник
We are programmed just to do
Anything you want us to
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We’re functioning automatic
And we are dancing mechanic
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
Я твой слуга
Я твой работник
Я твой слуга
Я твой работник
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots

“The Robots” is a song by Kraftwerk from their seventh studio album The Man-Machine. It was released as a single in 1978.
The song’s lyrics explore robotics and how this groundbreaking use of technology affects society, a theme often referenced throughout Kraftwerk’s discography. “The Robots” includes lines in Russian spoken in a pitched down voice. The vocals on the track were heavily edited using vocoders to fit with the concept.
A rearranged and rerecorded version of “The Robots” was released as a single in 1991 as part of their remix album The Mix.
Florian Schneider-Esleben, a co-founder of German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, has died, record label Sony said Wednesday, 6th of May. He was 73. Citing fellow group founder Ralf Huetter, Sony said that Schneider-Esleben had been suffering from cancer, German news agency dpa reported.
Schneider-Esleben and Huetter started working together in 1968. In 1970, they founded the Kling-Klang-Studio in Duesseldorf and launched Kraftwerk.
Schneider-Esleben was involved in Kraftwerk albums including Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine and Tour de France. He left Kraftwerk in 2008.
