Halbkind [English translation]

You're always born at the wrong time

Your first word is I and not you

Your godfather is the love

that only lasts one summer

This golden shoe, doesn't fits you

Your parents hurt each other with words

and always hit you with them

That's how the feelings die

Like a butterfly in the snow

Born to soon

But proud and free

Half-Child

Your mother is the sun

Your father is the moon

Half sun, half moon

Half-Child all alone

as Half-Childs are

Half-Child

Half-Child

Your mother is far away and hot

Your father is near and cold

Seldom someone loves you

And you search a hold

Like the look of your eyes

endless and wide

You float between here,

here and there

Same distance from the cold

Same from tenderness

You won't stay here

and you won't go away

Half-Child

Your mother is the sun

Your father is the moon

Half sun, half moon

Half-Child all alone

as Half-Childs are

Half-Child

Half-Child

Your mother is far away and hot

Your father is near and cold

Seldom someone loves you

And you search a hold

Half-Child

Your mother is the sun

Your father is the moon

Half sun, half moon

Half-Child all alone

as Half-Childs are

Half-Child

Half-Child

Your mother is far away and hot

Your father is near and cold

Seldom someone loves you

And you search a hold
