by Peter Maffay
Nessaja was written by Peter Maffay and Rolf Zuckowski, written by Peter Maffay and Rolf Zuckowski for Maffay's 1983 rock fairy‑tale musical Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft. Nessaja is presented as the reflective song of an old turtle character in the concept album and stage show, blending rock and pop ballad elements. The song later became widely known in German‑speaking countries through both Maffay’s original and various cover versions, including a 2002 dance remake by the group Scooter.
