Nico had real poetic and musical genius. It was beyond simple originality, it had implications in the collective unconscious. So sad her life was screwed up by drugs. Would she have been such a great composer without them? - the irritating question. John Cale also a genius.

I think that Nico wrote this song for her mother who died in 1970. She was buried beside her mother, so it was quite fitting. This is the translation: Dear little mummy At last I can be near you Longing and loneliness Are redeemed through blessings Dear little mummy At last I can be near you Longing and loneliness Are redeemed through blessings The cradle that is your native dress Floats along your magnificence The pain in your heart turned into joy Holds back in the conquered flood
This is really an incredible composition. No one seems to give Nico any credit musically which makes no sense whatsoever. It's pure stupidity that the looks, the cult figure status, and the male artists she's associated with overshadow music like this.
@erinmerle I hate to contribute to this image, but musically Nico only wrote the score for the harmonium, all the rest is played and composed by John Cale, who produced the album.
This was played at her funeral.
