Laß Mich In Ruhe!

Nina Hagen · Other Songs - Nina Hagen

everyone's against me,

they made me this way

everyone's against me,

they'll be sorry one day



lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe

leave me, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe



ignoranten, seht sie euch an one by one

alles mutanten, spoiling my fun



lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe

leave me, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe



helmut, ich hasse dich

du machst mich krank

aber ich passe nicht,

gott sei dank bin ich punk



lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe

leave me, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe



lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe

leave me, leave me alone

lass mich, lass mich in ruhe

Laß Mich In Ruhe!

Nina Hagen's 1985 track 'Laß Mich In Ruhe!' stands as a defining anthem of the Berlin punk and new wave scene. Recorded during her prolific period with the band Die Toten Hagen, the song exemplifies her signature style: a fusion of aggressive rock energy, theatrical vocal delivery, and sharp social commentary. Released in the mid-1980s, the recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that characterized the city's underground music culture at the time. The lyrics, delivered with her trademark intensity, reflect a defiant attitude toward authority and societal norms, themes central to Hagen's public persona and artistic output throughout the decade. As a staple of her discography, the song remains a powerful representation of the era's alternative rock movement and Hagen's enduring influence on German-language pop music.
