In 1967, the song was re-recorded by Italian singer Mina. She performed the song live for the first time on the TV show Sabato sera on 22 April 1967, where she was also the host;[2] in May, Mina's album Sabato sera – Studio Uno '67 was released, which also included this song.[3] Released as a single, the song failed to perform well, spending two weeks on the Italian chart and taking the fourteenth place.[4] The B-side was "Canta ragazzina", another song from 1967 Sanremo Music Festival, performed in the original by Bobby Solo and Connie Francis, which did not even make it to the final. Mina recorded both songs in Spanish as "La inmensidad" and "Canta muchachita" (the author of the adapted lyrics is unknown).[5] Track listing
