[acintho]

Omg she looks like a dude

[acintho]

Wat een draak

[reforest4fertility]

Nina is practically plagiarizing the Buddha here. Jokin about the plagiarizing cuz He didn't say it like that, of course, bust the gist is the same. For more up to date corroboration, than 500 BC, check out the book, To Have Or To Be, by Erich Fromm. Or just watch the videos here on Youtube of Fromm being interviewed, also by good ol' Mike Wallace. Back in the days when there was stuff on TV worth wasting your time on.

[thedistortedreality1]

ain't got no god.

[tractorcete1234]

No hay que tirar la vida... Es de lo poco buen que tenemos

[plekka]

[marion2141]

[missabbebuck]

inina nina nina nina nina nina nina nina nina nina nina

[nomusician]

Are you sure she didn't say " I got lice" (just before the headaches?

[loisamusic]

I think this song is wonderfull.. but,, i think she has kinda of a man-voice.. or am I wrong?;D

[GirLInSecondLife]

No honey the song is from the musical "HAIR" which was popular in the 1960s. The musical was made into a movie starring Treat Williams, and they sing this song in the movie. It's about hippies. But you can use it any way you want to!

Nina always put her own meaning on songs you know that!

[TwilightManiaMadda]

We should thank for having Nina Simone! Personally I think this woman is a true giant of the music! This song is one that then I think he played better in his career! I do not know whether to enchant both his deep voice or the lyrics, but I love both! I apologize for my English, but I'm Italian!

[GirLInSecondLife]

@TwilightManiaMadda Your English is very good, the only mistake is use "her" with a woman, not "he" !

[GirLInSecondLife]

@TwilightManiaMadda I meant, use "her" if it is a woman. Not "he" or "him" or "his" (those are for men!), but for a woman, say "her" or "hers" or "she."

[TwilightManiaMadda]

@GirLInSecondLife Thank you!

[bucurdragos]

Nina Simone is genial !!!!!!!!

[kkh369]

the best song ever about not having shit....she was a little older by now and half crazy (no disrespect, she may have been schizo) but check out the version from the late 60s/early 70s. shes wearing yellow and his this great african hairdo. its so great!!

[hipmaf420]

Let's pray for our brothers and sisters in Japan who all they have now is life(if they are lucky)

[SrNadieTv]

This song is pure gold.

[lilydoraloveshpdrwho]

Got my head got my toes got my fingers up my nose :p

[tannerturlington]

if she didnt have any of those things she is s.o.l i guess haha

[dmdo72]

and we gotn you and your voice Nina, thanks !!!

[MajorsGirl]

Uncut Dope.

[CarlosMendez003]

I will have this song played at my funeral!!

[Rebearaniva]

@CarlosMendez003 But you will have no life then :( They should play it during births.

[babyharryable]

she looks good even with cornrows! this proves that weaves and silly extensions dont make the woman at all.. natural is the way to go!!! i love u nina

[jevousemmerde1]

Pour Sébastien... Une petite leçon d'anglais et de vie....

[dreamonstinking]

I'm listening to that song every single day, and always feel the same. It is such a positive one, and according to me that version is definitely the best one, thanks Nina Simone.

[mkeorsdoier]

@batmanga00 just one fact about your comment : it's useless

[rianneschilder]

juist

[auntiewewe2]

A real treasure!! Love her...RIP Nina.... Thanks for posting.

[dampie]

i love this woman and song!!

[shebaoscar223]

this song is for my work

[sueli1986]

Ela é uma DIVA!

Adoro ESCUTÁ-LA!

Sueli sp-sp Brasil

[AndrewDanger]

I dare any you punks write a more dank-ass song. This shit makes me shit diamond, gilded bricks.

[KnightOfDelusion]

This is Nina Simone's song? Wow, I didn't know. I only know it from the musical Hair. Then again, I know nothing of Nina Simone :S

[majajaj]

@KnightOfDelusion you should listen also to her other stuff,its very good: )

[Moreau]

It's from Hair, Simone just covered it. She is amazing though, you should def listen to her other stuff.

[lakeshow499]

@Moreau Uh this came out a LONG time before Hair buddy. This is Nina Simone and it's about the slave trade. Peace out.

[mashiksn]

best ever!

[andyparse]

i didnt know nina had died. R.I.P Nina you be missed .

[FASHIONCONSPIRACY]

Natalie Cole told wendy williams that simone will be played by Mary j Blige........fabulous!

[pragnerp]

Listening to this is such an emotionally intense experience. Unbelievable Nina..

[ledormant]

Nina died in my hometown. She will always be  remebered as a great vocalist and pianist.

[turningthetabless]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[caliqueo]

tanxs, i´ve no money now, clothes (except a pants and cigarret)

[qariss]

Thanx for the upload, but where it says "Ain't Got No Mind" it should be "Ain't Got no Mine."

[thandewye]

I think that's open to interpretation really.

[STUPIDxxSITE]

Actually it is mind. If you check out the musical Hair, you'll hear the ensemble sing "Lost it!" right after that line and if it was "mine" it wouldn't really make sense.

[billboule]

Cette chanson est issue du spectacle "Hair". La meilleure interprétation de Nina Simone reste sans conteste celle du concert à Paris.

[scarlett72nd]

Good old Nina Simone. Always saying it like it is so it hits you. Her music lives forever!

[opencurtin]

Queen of Class.

[ladiiebird]

is she still alive

[KingMattaz]

no she died in 2003 from suffereing from cancer

[egon55]

no she died from cancer :(

[anulay]

What song did she end up singing next?

[heyheyboii]

the songs about the slave trade towards black people :(. R.I.P nina you sure did get your message across xx

[pervadingdark]

@heyheyboii actually it's about the draft during the vietnam war, it's from the musical Hair.

[cycle2death]

@heyheyboii it has nothing to do with slaves.

[silas25222357]

Nina ftw!

[Pixiepup1802]

I love you Nina.

[OBlau]

she's so powerfull!!!!

she's the best!!

[ButterflyInGlassMaze]

This song's a classic! She's fantastic!

[joedaylight]

commenting on her not having fun!!! learn about her first and you will know what she went through.. having fun, COME ON!!!!

[Ilovekoreayea]

what a great song

[SS6andrikopoulos]

you may be right Omer.

Think its because she is growing old in this version.

Search for this one " Nina Simone - Ain't Got No...I've Got Life ".

Its much better.

[omer111love]

great song but when she sing it looks like she doesn't have fun...!

[pingbong44]

its suppose to be a 'happy' song, its a song about freedom and lifes stuggles ...

It has been suggested that the lyrics are in reference to the slavery and oppression of black people(wiki)

[7limegreencrayons]

We aint got you any more Nina, but we got your message and your beautiful sound and legacy will live forever. Your sorley missed.

[Shaq5ter]

lovely sung

[reallyupthere]

@7limegreencrayons _ I know that's right! Love her love love love.

[fizzlemcgee]

you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ledormant]

How deeply moving Nina was. She was so beautiful. She died in my home town in the south of France.

[ta89fr]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

[rocKy4evr14]

very nice song. Thank you, and thank you God for giving me a life,(dispite all the difficulties along the way). I'm still alive and still going.

peace

[VcLc85]

but Nina Simone does'nt sound at her best

I'm afraid

the band is not very good

[xchococaramel101]

GREAT!!!!!!!!it is sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!! but are sweaters jumpers?

[BigFatMaime]

Just so you all know Nina Simone did not write this song as it is from the musical "Hair" which was written by James Rado, Gerome Ragni, and Gald MacDermot ;)

[youthinasia1979]

the lyrics are different in every version but all the same meaning very good song. She was amazing.

[damarre7]

the best song ever, you can have no money nohome nothing, but you still the richest man ever, you have your hands if youdon't youhave you legs, if you don't you have you eyes..., and you have life, that's the best thing youhave " life "
