That a Child is Born is a song written for the English speaking market, changing the lyrics completely from the original German song Tränen lügen nicht (Tears don't lie) by Michael Holm which uses an Italian instrumental tune Soleado by Ciro Dammico. (Discovered this today when I listened to the latest album from the Neue Deutsche Härte band Eisbrecher who have covered it). https://youtu.be/Op-_D8bx2BM?si=pYW1WGZd9H0mY3CO
