1) Nena was a German Neue Deutsche Welle band formed in West Berlin in 1981. In 1983 and 1984, their German-language song "99 Luftballons" (and its English version, "99 Red Balloons") reached number one in the singles charts of countries around the world.
The band released four studio albums: Nena (1983), Fragezeichen (1984), Feuer und Flamme (1985) and Eisbrecher (1986). With two english language albums: 99 Luftballons (1984) and It's All In The Game (1985). The band disbanded in 1987 without ever officially announcing their end.
2) Nena is the stage name of German singer and actress Gabriele Susanne Kerner (born 24 March 1960 in Hagen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany). Nena was also the name of the band with whom she released the 1984 English recording of the eponymous band's most well-known song "99 Red Balloons" (orginally released in Germany in 1983 as "99 Luftballons")
Nena acquired her nickname, which means "baby girl" in Spanish, at the age of 3 during a vacation to Spain. Her first band was called The Stripes (1979). They had a very minor hit with the song "Ecstasy", but never managed to achieve broad success.
3) The band Nena was formed with Nena (singer), Rolf Brendel (drums), Carlo Karges (guitar), Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen (keyboard) and Jürgen Dehmel (bass) in Berlin in 1981. Their first hit single, "Nur geträumt" ("Only In Dreams"), came in 1982 after appearing on the German television program Musikladen.
The following year they released their self-titled first album, which contained the singles "99 Luftballons" and "Leuchtturm" ("Lighthouse"). "99 Luftballons" was a #1 hit in many countries (including the U.S.) and an English version of the song, "99 Red Balloons", was recorded, and retains some measure of cultural influence, being referred to in current music - the Guster track Amsterdam. The song also featured in an episode of Scrubs, Gilmore Girls the film, Grosse Point Blank, and most recently the movie Watchmen. Nena then released ? (Fragezeichen) in 1984, Feuer und Flamme ("Fire And Flame", means "to be all for it") in 1985, Eisbrecher ("Icebreaker") in 1986.
Nena started dating Swiss actor Benedict Freitag shortly after the breakup of the band in 1987, and together with him had a son, Christopher Daniel, who was born disabled due to medical mistakes made during the birth that caused Nena to go into cardiac arrest. He died at the age of 11 months. She later had twins with Freitag, Larissa-Maria and Sakias Manuel.
After splitting with Benedict Freitag, Nena began a relationship with drummer and music producer Philipp Palm of Stuttgart, with whom she has two children, Samuel Vincent and Simeon Joel. The couple and the four children live together in Hamburg.
Throughout the 1990's, Nena released solo albums, including some children's albums. In 1999, Nena voiced the character Lea in the animated film Tobias Totz und sein Löwe.
In 2002, Nena celebrated her 20th stage anniversary with the album "Nena feat. Nena," a CD of self-covers of old hits. This jubilee album meant an incredible comeback for Nena that has hardly ever been seen before in German music business. Nena's 2005 album "Willst du mit mir gehn" ("Do You Wanna Date Me?") quickly achieved platinum status as well. The first single from "Willst du mit mir gehn", "Liebe ist" ("Love Is"), shot to Number 1 in the German charts in early 2005.
9th October 2007 Nena released the album "Cover Me", an album composed entirely of cover songs with songs both in English and German.
In 2007, she co-founded the school "Neue Schule Hamburg".
4) Nena is also the artistic name of a young portuguese singer.
Musically influenced by names like John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles, The Chicks (ex-Dixie Chicks) or Maro, Nena began developing and writing songs from a very young age, tending to write her first song when she was just 12 years old. After the composition process, on the guitar, where lyrics and music are usually born simultaneously, love is a recurring theme.
Although her professional training was in the area of communication, her passion and devotion to music occupied a central place in her life and, since 2019, Nena has dedicated herself professionally to this area.
Für alle die
Nena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die es verstehen
Die in der Tragik der Tragik
Das Schöne sehen
Das hier ist für alle die
Die sich verliern
Die in der Freiheit der Freiheit
Das hier ist für alle die
Die alles geben
Die romantisch und voller Mut
Für den einen Tag leben
Das hier ist für alle die
Die es wissen
Dass man alles kann
Doch man muss nichts müssen
Das hier ist für alle die
Die es laut sagen
Dass das Leben zu kurz ist
Um nichts zu wagen
Das hier ist für alle die
Die es wissen
Dass man alles kann
Doch man muss nichts müssen
Das hier ist für alle die
Die es laut sagen
Dass das Leben zu kurz ist
Um nichts zu wagen
Nena's "Für alle die" is a powerful song about living life to the fullest and not being afraid to take risks. The lyrics celebrate those who can find beauty in tragedy, who refuse to give up on their freedom, who live romantic and courageous lives, and who recognize that life is too short to hold back. Nena sings that they are the ones who truly understand that anything is possible, but nothing is obligatory.
The stanza "Das hier ist für alle die / Die in der Tragik der Tragik / Das Schöne sehen" can be interpreted as recognizing those who find beauty in troubled and difficult times. When a person can find the positive and beautiful things in tragedy, they showcase their resiliency and their ability to thrive when it matters most. The next stanza "Das hier ist für alle die / Die in der Freiheit der Freiheit / Nicht kapitulieren" is about the freedom to live life without giving in to societal expectations or pressures. This is about being true to oneself and not allowing the world to stifle one's dreams.
The song is a testament to the human spirit and an anthem for individuals who live boldly and without regret. It encourages listeners to take risks and to make the most of their time on earth. The repetition of the stanza "Das hier ist für alle die / Die es wissen / Dass man alles kann / Doch man muss nichts müssen" reinforces the idea that there are no limits to what we can achieve, but that we should never feel compelled to do anything that goes against our inner voice.
