Sarstedt was born in New Delhi in 1941 as one of six siblings, to Albert and Coral Sarstedt, who were civil servants in the British administration. Both of his parents had trained as classical musicians.
Sarstedt later moved to Calcutta (now Kolkata); seven years after Indian independence from Britain, the family moved to England in 1954, settling in south London just before the rock ‘n’ roll boom.

Lyrics:
I’ll buy you one more frozen orange juice
On this fantastic day
We’ll walk the sunny hills of Madrid
Laughing all the way
And if you feel you wanna run down the ravine
A place that no one else has ever seen before
