Moskau is a song by the German Metal band Rammstein, and is the 7th track on the Reise, Reise CD. The song, obviously, is about the Russian capital of Moscow. In fact, the song opens with the declaration:

Это песня о самом красивом
городе в мире. Москва!

Which translates into English as:

This song is about the most beautiful city in the world. Moscow!

The song is about the city of Moscow, and its beauty and unique sites. The city is continously referred to as a prostitute, for example, in the first verse:

Diese Stadt ist eine Dirne
Hat rote Flecken auf der Stirn
Ihre Zähne sind aus Gold
Sie ist fett und doch so hold
Ihr Mund fällt mir zu Tale
wenn ich sie dafür bezahle
Sie zieht sich aus doch nur für Geld
Die Stadt die mich in Atem hält

Meaning, in English:

This city is a prostitute
She has red spots on her forehead
Her teeth are made of gold
She's fat and yet so lovely
Her mouth falls to my valley
when I pay her for it
She takes off her clothes but only for money
The city that keeps me in suspense

The song continues this theme, with the exception of the chorus, which goes combines Russian and German to say:

Moskau
Раз, два, три!
Moskau
Посмотри!
Пионеры там идут,
песни Ленину поют.

This relatively simple chorus translates to

Moscow
One, two, three!
Moscow
Look!
Pioneers are walking around there,
singing songs to Lenin.

(The Pioneers were a sort of Boy Scouts-y group of the USSR)
