An oldie but goodie

A new wave classic.

I love this song and the way her singing style goes from the voice of Regan from the Exorcist to Operatic yelps.

wow, havent heard this name in a while.

Another Nina Hagen classic

I gave up trying to sell Nina here on Org.

Naturtrane is still one of the most beautiful songs on earth to me; an AMAZING poetic lyric and her performance is so beautiful, esp BECAUSE of those operatic wails and her clucking like a chicken in the end. Genius.

Saw her sing this in a club in LA a few years ago. She was out of control Love this fucking song TO. DEATH!

Naturträne
Offnes Fenster präsentiert
Spatzenwolken himmelflattern
Wind bläst, meine Nase friert
Und paar Auspuffrohre knattern

Ach, da geht die Sonne unter:
Rot, mit Gold, so muss das sein.
Seh ich auf die strasse runter,
Fällt mir ein Bekannter ein

Prompt wird mir's jetzt schwer ums Herz
Ich brauch' nur Vögel flattern sehen
Und fliegt main Blick dann himmelwärts,
Tut auch die Seele weh, wie schön!

Natur am Abend, stille Stadt
Verknackste Seele, Tränen rennen
Das alles macht einen mächtig matt
Und ich tu' einfach weiterflennen...
Aaaahhhh...

I am always so frustrated the lyrics are untranslatable, in German it is BEAUTIFUL, the English translation does not suffice, but alas...

Through the open window I can see
The tiny clouds hovering in the sky
The wind is blowing, my nose is freezing
... a few exhaust pipes are spluttering.

Ah, the sun is going down
Red and gold, as it should be
I look down to the street below
And see a friend standing there

Suddenly my heart feels heavy
I just need to see birds fluttering
And my eyes turn up to the sky
How it jurts my soul - how beautiful!

Nature in the evening, a peaceful town
Tormented soul, the tears flow
It all makes me feel so feeble
And makes the tears flow even more
Aaah...

And just imagine how hard I fell out when I happened to be walking by the club hearing the song begin and thinking how much I loved it and then walking in and she's actually there performing it!

Yup! I was just walking down the street and I heard the beginning and I thought

Wow! I haven't heard that song in ages

and then I walked in and she is on this tiny stage in her 10,000 foot tall platforms and looking like Amanda Lepore's hot sister One of those crazy ass moments that happen here in LA
