Nina Hagen - New York, NY German Version

Nina Hagen - New York, NY German Version
In 2000, her song Schön ist die Welt became the official song of Expo 2000. Another cover of a Zarah Leander song "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" was a minor hit the same year. The album The Return of the Mother was released in February 2001, accompanied by another German tour. In 2001 she collaborated with Rosenstolz and Marc Almond on the single Total eclipse/Die schwarze Witwe that reached #22 in Germany.

Hagen dubbed the voice of Sally in the German release of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and she has also done voice work on the movie Hot Dogs by Michael Schoemann. Hagen has been featured on songs by other bands, for instance on Oomph!'s song "Fieber". She did a cover of Rammstein's "Seemann" with Apocalyptica. Later albums include Big Band Explosion, in which she sang numerous swing covers with her then husband, Danish singer and performer, Lucas Alexander. This was followed by Heiß, a greatest hits album. Her most recent album, Journey to The Snow Queen, is more of an audio book—she reads the Snow Queen fairy tale with Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in the background. In 2005 Nina Hagen headlined the Drop Dead Festival in New York City. Hagen has been an active protester against the war in Iraq. In 2006 she was a part of the Popstars team. She is a vegetarian.[4] In August 2009 she was baptized in the Protestant Reformed church of Schüttorf.

Ist vas UN-knleine-MASSIV at der klub EXIT en Chikago USA in der 1980's, ja wohl ( der Englischer verzione, exactamention, ja ! )

[tlancast3]

Man – let the light in; David Bowie’s gonna be here tonight – au fein.

I’m getting ecstasy in my world.

Oh yes I’m a starchild, the purest superhero.

And whether you like it or not

Money rules this world, but not every world.

I am love, I am life, I am mother, I am the child.

I am love, I am life, I am mother, I am the child.

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

The newest nightclub’ opening up tonight.

New York New York New York New York

And it’s going – straight up to the top.

And it’s going – straight up to the top.

I also love Berlin and Amsterdam and Hollywood just as much

Jealousy is such a sickness – I love everything good.

And after my show, we’re always happy (ready to go)

And everyone’s going to the disco

We’re to the next disco

One disco after another disco

And shaking our head in rhythm

To the funky rap die dap

AM PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mud Club, Danceteria.

[tlancast3]

The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight The newest nightclub’ opening up tonight. New York New York New York New York. New York City is the hottest city When you’ve got a new boyfriend and hotel room. New York City is thing onto itself. And absolutely most definitely a thing for me. New York I send my heart to you I love you so much I couldn’t go on without you, I love you more and more.

[tlancast3]

That is the purest truth and I’ll swear seven times over: New York, I want to have a penthouse – one directly under the roof. And after my show, I’m always happy (ready to go) And everyone’s going to the disco We’re to the next disco One disco after another disco And shaking our head in rhythm To the funky rap die dap AM PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mud Club, Danceteria. The newest nightclub’s opening up tonight

Here's my translation of the lyrics. I think it follows the overall meaing of original text in some places matches up very closely:

New York City is the hottest city

When you have a new boyfriend and hotel room.

New York City is my favorite place

‘cause the people I know there are a real treasure.

It’s always late at night

When we’re going through the clubs.

And it always occurs to me…

I would be the nightclub queen.

@rawjoedallas i put the lyrics in a german to english translator and the lyrics are quite differerent, its about the same thing (having a good time and going to the new york clubs), but its not a like-for-like translation, i suppose its so it rhymes in both languages! like she says something about berlin and amsterdam being jealous of new york or something, which isnt in the english version...
