From Here on It Got Rough (Von nun an ging's bergab)

From Here on It Got Rough (Von nun an ging's bergab) - Hildegard Knef

I came to the world on a cold winter's day

Sneezed three times it must have been hay

My father was livid he wanted a son

I took a look round and said to the nun

From here on it gets rough

At first I found I had little to do

They allowed me to grow a room with a view

But after awhile they hit on a plan

It's time to start learning the trouble began

From here on it got rough

At fifteen I had a dream which I found very clever

I wanted to act mama said no never

My father said out I was already gone

And followed the call the show must go on

From here on it got rough

My talents were spotted producers were proud

And gave me those parts where you stand in the crowd

When the star became ill I stepped in like a shot

And someone from film signed me up on the spot

From here on it got rough

I played all the good parts and sometimes the bad

And sometimes a fig leaf was all that I had

And hollywood said it would certainly die

If I didn't come soon so I went aye aye aye

From here on it got rough

But now I was famous I had made it at last

And happily back to the scene of my past

I received a big prize

Had my name in "who's who"

But after a flop that name was taboo

From here on it got rough

At first I was hurt I thought it was wrong

Then somebody heard me singing a song

I told him: I couldn't but he said yes you can

So that's how this latest torment began

A change was overdue

From here it's rough on you
