来自于非洲加纳的NANA出身于一个富有的家庭,但是父亲在他小时候离他们而去,母亲带着年幼的NANA定居到了德国。肤色的歧视,家庭的破碎,使得NANA从小就在压抑的环境中生存。这首LONELY是他最有名的作品,也是最感人的作品之一。在这首歌曲中,爱情的失败,世事的的无奈,人与人之间的勾心斗角,都被他赤裸裸的展露在你面前。动情处的伤心呐喊,颓废时的无奈低吟,节奏布鲁斯,跳舞音乐,HIP HOP结合的天衣无缝。
Nana出生于1968年10月5日的非洲加纳。十岁的时候他跟随他母亲、3个兄弟姐妹一起去了德国汉堡。这完全改变了他的生活,当然,也让他学到了很多新东西。Nana很小的时候就酷爱音乐,中学一毕业,就当了一名DJ。他在很多地方表演,并小有名气。还有,他还在两部德国电影中跑龙套,所以,Nana其实也可以被称为一个演员。后来,他遇到了Toni Cottura,这厮在Fun Factory很有名,参与包装制作了后街男孩(Backstreet Boys)、超级男孩('N Sync)、Marky Mark。后来,也许是“痛苦”吧,Tony Cottura 和他的搭档离开了Fun Factory并与Nana进行合作。
很多人都误解《Lonely》的那个女声是Nana,其实中间唱RAP的男声才是Nana,才是主角,女声是Sibela。
I'm alone
I am lonely lonely lonely
I am lonely lonely in my life
I am lonely lonely lonely
God help me help me to survive!
Bridge
Remember first time we met day one
Kids in the garden' playin' games heaven' fun
Excitin' and amazin' havin' a real friend of mine
Face to face and eye to eye
Usin' our hands to buy and supply
Chillin' is cool from January to June
And we still stiked together like the glue
And know the rules
Forever you and I and believe it was clear
If I ever should fall I could count on you with no fear
Runnin' out of time I see who's fake
Alone without protection from all them snakes
All for one one for all I was told
Black white yellow no matter if your young or old
Nana's in the house to let you know
What I see is how I feel and damn
I'm alone
I am lonely lonely lonely
I am lonely lonely in my life
I am lonely lonely lonely
God help me help me to survive!
Bridge
Everybody's trippin' on me
Oh lord come help me please
I did some bad things in my life
Why can't you rescue me 'cause you've got all I need
I know I got to pay the price
Lonely (2x)
Cheepin' thru the streets at night after a fuss and fight
Tears in my eyes I'm a man lookin' for the light
Dark is the path I know he will rescue me
The lord is my shephard I'm cool despite emergency
Whom shall I fear exept the god
Thank you for the blessin' and the skils on the mic
Five years we know there's no diggity
Free at last see the light in me
What goes up must come down
I'll be around while you heading towards deathtown
Always look forward hardly never look back
So many tears and the snakes on my jock
Now I'm riding in my big fat ride
Your ass is late so look for the line
Nana in the house to let you know
What I see is how I feel so leave me alone
Lonely (3x)
Knock on my door whom you lookin' for
A dream or reality enemies at my door
Eyes I realize it's fantasize I must be high
So let me live before I die
Once again grab the bottle twist the cap
To survive your life is yours my life is mine
No emotions in this world full of lies
Step my step and be versatile
Love peace and crash that's what it's all about
Alone by yourself than you lack there's no doubt about
I'm always into something making moves to improve
What would you do if you where in my shoes
Boom a letter oops another suicide
Meet me for a ride at the boulevard
Nana's in the house to let you know
What I see is how I feel and damn I'm alone [wma]http://www.icon121.com/download/82638665/Corp/Binaries/lonely_nana.mp3[/wma] |
