Kind Einer Nacht
Udo Jürgens
Child Of a Night
When he came into the world, nobody was happy
He had no father and his mother had no time
He saw people talking behind closed doors
And at the age of seven he already recognized
Child of a night
You only live by accident
Mocked and ridiculed
And uncomfortable for many
Child of a night
You were never loved
This is how you learned to take
What they don't give you
He wanted to be like the others at school
But if it was a birthday, then he was not invited
Soon the teachers called him stubborn and strange
Then they put him in a home because he was so difficult
Child of a night
You only live by accident
Mocked and ridiculed
And uncomfortable for many
Child of a night
You were never loved
This is how you learned to take
What they don't give you
At seventeen in the big city, he finally wanted to get out
Then jobs in construction and assembly line, he never lasted long
He broke into a few cars, and soon he was in court
Stubborn and without residence there was no parole
Child of a night
You only live by accident
Mocked and ridiculed
And uncomfortable for many
Child of a night
You were never loved
This is how you learned to take
What they don't give you
(Child of a night)
(You only live by accident)
(Mocked and laughed at)
(And uncomfortable for many)
Child of a night
You were never loved
This is how you learned to take
What they don't give you
