Get the Sie Sind Das Essen Und Wir Sind Die Jager mug.Related Words
"Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger" (please notice the Umlaut) is the catch phrase of the intro music of the famous Anime Attack on Titan.
As with many German lyrics in Japanese pop culture, the translation is not quite right.
Apparently, what the creators wanted to express is "they are the prey and we are the hunters". However, "Essen" literally translates to "food" and would never be used by a native speaker in this context. A better German word would be "Beute".

Get the Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jaeger mug.The first line of the intro song to the Attack On Titan anime series.
Despite what the top definition says "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger" really translates to:
"They are the food and we are the hunters."
Using 'Sie' as 'Du' is very very very formal and would never be used here and 'prey' would be 'die Beute' and can not be replaced by 'Essen'. Come on, get it right at least!
