Hi. I'm no fluent German speaker, so I had to rely on my eyes. There are some differences here. Aaron has some points better translated, just like Yağmur's one. Based on text comparing software, there's ~25% of difference. For instance, he didn't translate the Russian/French/Italian lines, which Yağmur did. A Mod who I contacted even said that this is more grammatically adequate than his translation, honestly. That said, I don't see a reason that would justify the removal of this translation.

Thank you!
I want to add a few things:
I think, for a song like this, with no metaphors or idioms, every translation is bound to be similar. Here's a word for word translation of the pre-chorus:
Ich bin kein Mann für eine Nacht
I am no man for a night
Ich bleibe höchstens ein, zwei Stunden
I stay at most one two hours
Bevor die Sonne wieder lacht
Before the sun again laughs
Bin ich doch schon längst verschwunden
Am I already long gone
Und ziehe weiter meine Runden
And drag again my road
Not even talking about the chorus which only consists of one sentence in German and a few other generic sentences in other languages.
When it comes to verses, there's a clear distinction. The similarities between the translations stem from the pre-chorus and the chorus, both of which are bound to be similar as I said before.
I did not intend our translations to be similar, I did NOT check the other translation before publishing mine.
The fact that my translation is very similar to a native speaker's makes me glad, yet, this whole discussion has also shown me that people are quick to jump into conclusions without hearing what I have to say.
Have a nice day everyone, let's end this debate here!

This translation is obviously not copied from Achamp, it would take up much more time to take a translation and change certain words than to translate a song like this yourself.
Everyone who likes can submit translations here, there is no rule against having two translations of a song to the same language.
Rammstein is a very popular band outside of Germany, I expect even more translations to English of this song and others in the future.

I mean, this translator made mistakes that Achamp didn't, like in the very first line "I travel a lot, i love to travel" the second "I" is written "i", if Achamp's translation would have been copied and then just a few words changed, this mistake would not have occurred.

Well, obviously the translator wanted to translate it this way and Achamp liked it the way he translated it. There are a few differences in the translation, so for me that's good enough. It gives people two perspectives of how to tranlate certain words or phrases.
I don't think a translation should be deleted or given only one star just because there already exists another version.
I mean, Achamp's translation is good, but graciex wanted to translate it her way, I see nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn't call them changes, I'd call them differences, and there are a few more. Fact is, I don't think the author took Achamp's translation and just changed a few things, I think she translated the song by herself, but as it is not a very complicated song it turned out very similar to Achamp's translation.

Hi, this is my sixth year on this website and I assure you I saw four, five translations of the same song, all of which resemble each other. I have been in contact with people from different websites whom I thought had copied my translation. They all turned out to be coincidences, just like this one. I did not copy or "change" anything from the other translation, in fact, i didn't even take a look at it in order not to resemble it. I'd be super glad if you guys kept these (false) accusations in private and not here, in my dms would be nice. After all, I am the translator and I should at least have a word.

No, it doesn't take more time to change an already existing translation than to translate yourself. I always take an existing translation even if it's only Google. I used to translate without any help until I realized it's much faster to translate on an existing translation - and it helps a lot to avoid similarities.
Uhm if you don't noticed but I already made a translation!
Copying also don't count as self translation
