Jesus Ist Ein Freund Von Mir

Ui ui - brrr
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir ( verbesserte version ) von Nina Hagen
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Jesus ist mein Freund
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir.


Er hat mich inspiriert
Wie niemand je zuvor
Wenn Jesus in der Bibel spricht
Da bin ick dann ganz Ohr
Ich hatte früher Freunde, die leider keine warn,
Doch Jesus ist noch bei mir nach all den vielen Jahrn.
Jaaah.


Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Jesus ist mein Freund
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir.


Er hat mir beigebracht, zu beten det et kracht,
Er hat mir Mut gemacht und mich nie ausgelacht.
Er hat mich losgekettet
Mein Leben ist gerettet
Vom Abgrund weggelenkt.
Die Freiheit mir geschenkt. Freiheit!


Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Jesus ist mein Freund
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir.


Ich bin ihm mal entwischt, in Indien rumgezischt,
Ein Guru mich getrickst und ich vor ihm geknickst,
Doch Jesus ließ nicht locker, der Guru fiel vom Hocker,
Dass ich mich taufen ließ,
Das fand der Guru fies.


Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Jesus ist mein Freund
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir.


Gott liebt mich wie ich bin, egal ob dick, ob dünn,
Er liebt in jedem Fall nicht nur den Erdenball,
Er liebt mich, wenn ich Zeit vergeude mit nem schrägen Lied,
Er liebt mich auch, wenn es mich einmal einfach nicht mehr gibt.


Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Ich hab ein Freund in Jesus
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir
Jesus ist mein Freund
Jesus ist ein Freund von mir.

Nina Hagen -- Volksbeat -- 2011

German music icon Nina Hagen, often called "The Mother Of Punk," is gearing up for the release of her fourteenth studio album, Volksbeat. The album features production work from Peter Schmidt and Peter Hinterthür and marks her first all German album since the 80s. Nina Hagen is such an original creation that, if she hadn’t already created herself, no one would think of inventing her. With a soaring voice, an unhinged gaze and an electric stage presence, Hagen has spent her 35-year career running the gamut from pop poppet to the mother of punk.

Nina explains: "It's [Volksbeat] an attempt to sing and shout for peace, for love & compassion, for freedom against war and injustice, embracing our ancestors, like Brecht, Martin Luther, Larry Norman. In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King and Jesus the Christ, who have gone before us, who have fought for the same ideals, as well as also embracing beloved artists like Biermann & Dyla, Mayfield and Burke, to never forget why we are here; we are born to love one another and take good care of each......other. We are born to be free, born to serve humanity, so that one fine day, we all shall be free and live in peace and dignity. It's about our love that never fails!

"The Bertolt Brecht texts are so strong, they are like children's prayers for peace, It was amazing to be granted the freedom to write a new melody and beat for the Brecht Songs. It was a funtastik experience to bring strong American lyrics from Dylan, Burke, Mayfield, Norman into my mother-tongue: the German language united in spirit with all these inspiring artists, whom I love so dearly."

While the album is a return to rock, Nina insists Volksbeat is not a step backward, but a step forward. "I am moving forward, spreading the everlasting message of love divine, singing for peace and standing up for Truth!"

In East Germany, she performed with the band Automobil, becoming one of the country's best-known young stars. Her most famous song from the early part of her career was "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" ("You forgot the colour film") in 1974. However, her musical career in East Germany was cut short when she and her mother left the country in 1976, following the expulsion of her stepfather.

The circumstances surrounding the family's emigration were exceptional: Biermann was granted permission to perform a televised concert in Cologne, but denied permission to re-cross the border to his home country. During a period when bureaucracy was the norm, and families divided by the Berlin Wall had not seen one another in decades, Hagen submitted an application to leave the country. In it, she claimed to be Biermann's biological daughter, and threatened to become the next Wolf Biermann if not allowed to rejoin her father. Just four days later her request was granted, and she settled in Hamburg, where she was signed to a CBS-affiliated record label. Her label advised her to acclimate herself to Western culture through travel, and she arrived in London during the height of the punk rock movement. Hagen was quickly taken up by a circle that included The Slits and the Sex Pistols; Johnny Rotten was a particular admirer.

Back in Germany by mid-1977, Hagen formed the Nina Hagen Band in West Berlin's Kreuzberg district. In 1978 they released their self-titled debut album, which included the single "TV-Glotzer" (a cover of "White Punks on Dope" by The Tubes, though with entirely different German lyrics), and Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo, about West Berlin's then-notorious Berlin Zoologischer Garten station. The album also included a version of "Rangehn" (approximately, "Go On"), a song she had previously recorded in East Germany, but with different music.

According to reviewer Fritz Rumler, she thrusts herself into the music, aggressively, directly, furiously, roars in the most beautiful opera alto, then, through shrieks and squeals, precipitates into luminous soprano heights, she parodies, satirises, and howls on stage like a dervish. The album gained significant attention throughout Germany and abroad, both for its hard rock sound and for Hagen's theatrical vocals, far different from the straightforward singing of her East German recordings. However, relations between Hagen and the other band members deteriorated over the course of the subsequent European tour, and Hagen decided to leave the band in 1979, though she was still under contract to produce a second album. This LP, Unbehagen (which in German also means discomfort or unease), was eventually produced with the band recording their tracks in Berlin and Hagen recording the vocals in Los Angeles, California. It included the single "African Reggae" and a cover of Lene Lovich's "Lucky Number". The other band members sans Hagen, soon developed a successful independent musical career as Spliff.

Meanwhile, Hagen's public persona was steadily creating media uproar and she became infamous for an appearance on an Austrian talk show called Club 2, in which she described female masturbation techniques and became embroiled in a heated argument with another panelist. She also acted with Dutch rocker Herman Brood and singer Lene Lovich in the 1979 film Cha Cha.

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. 

German singer Nina Hagen, punk-rock star of the 1980s, openly demonstrated her religious views at her recent concert in Moscow club B1.Maximum. Hagen was absolutely serious when she offered her audience to read Our Father and rather distinctly said in Russian, “Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come.” The singer more than once kneeled down, made the sign of cross and called on God. Spectators were perplexed, the Kommersant daily has reported on Friday.Hagen alternated Orthodox prayers with such hits as Killer by Adamski or cabaret items a-la Weimar Republic. Hagen has become an ardent Christian not so long ago, when she last visited Moscow she was an adherent of Hinduism and flirted with channelled Nazi-era.

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. In August 2009 she was baptized in the Protestant Reformed Church of Schüttorf.
