Nina Hagen - Ave Maria
From Album: "Nina Hagen ~ Nina Hagen"
Nina Hagen (born Catharina Hagen on 11 March 1955) is a singer from East Berlin, Germany.
Born in East Germany, Nina Hagen had already gained a reputation as a flamboyant rock singer by the time she emigrated to the West in 1976, where she formed a band, signed to CBS Germany, and released their debut album, Nina Hagen Band, in 1978. It was followed in 1980 by Unbehagen. Hagen's first U.S. release, Nina Hagen Band EP (1980), was a four-song EP consisting of songs drawn from her two German releases. She moved to New York and made her first English-language LP, Nunsexmonkrock, in 1982. That and its follow-up, the Giorgio Moroder-produced Fearless (1983), charted briefly, and "New York New York" was a Top Ten dance club hit. But Hagen left CBS after Nina Hagen in Ekstacy (1985). In 1988, she celebrated her marriage with the EP Punk Wedding, released in Canada, and in 1989 she returned to the German market with Nina Hagen. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
German Lyric: (from lyricwiki)
Ave Maria
Maria, mein Gesang
erbittet Dich um Gnade
Für Menschen, die schon solang
Ganz und gar ohne Hoffnung sind,
Ganz ohne Hoffnung sind
Siehe dort ihr traurig Dasein
Der Hunger tiefst, der Angst vor dem Tod
Millionen leben hier auf Erden,
immer noch, in allergrößter Not
Ave Maria
Ave Maria
Santa Maria
Erhöre mein Gebet, Maria
So vieles Leid, das schon geschah
Warum kommt immer neues Leid?
Nur neues Leid?
Lass nun die Menschen wieder glauben
Lass sie verstehen und verzeih'n
Dann könnten alle Völker Freunde
Und alle Rassen Brüder sein
Ave Maria
Aaaaahh.....
Lass nun die Menschen wieder glauben
Lass sie verstehen und verzeih'n
Dann könnten alle Völker Freunde
Und alle Rassen Brüder sein
Ave Maria
