Sway is a Mexican song, Marian. Perhaps we can do Spanish or French next. Should be easier than Italian. There are opera arias or Neapolitan songs that have become hits in English but Henry specifically asked for Italian pop songs.

12. I Will Always Want You (Di Fronte All'Amore) - Dusty Springfield (Dusty recorded this in Italian & English)

I Also would have thought Sway to be Italian considering Dean Martins Italian heritage.

(I wanted to enter And Roses, And Roses by Matt Monro, but I wasn't sure it was an Italian song. It sure sounds Italian.)



Funnily Paul Michele chose AND ROSES AND ROSES on her Siren FM slot this week.
She was 'live' before going off 'sailing' again.
Apparently the song was written by a BRAZILIAN composer before being translated into English :)
