That’s amore.
The original was created as "Leningrad Nights" by composer Solovyov-Sedoi and poet Matusovsky in 1955, but changed at the request of the Ministry of Culture for use in a documentary about a national athletic competition. The tune was subsequently popularized in the west by Van Cliburn in 1958, and recorded with commercial success by Kenny Ball and the Jazzmen, and the Chad Mitchell Trio in the early 60s.

Dearest why so sad, why the
downcast eyes
C G7 C
And your lovely head bent so low ?
B7 E7 Am Dm
Oh, it’s hard to speak, and yet not to
speak
Am Dm7 E7 Am
Of the longing my heart does know
