"Il cuore è uno zingaro" (Italian for "The heart is a gypsy") is a song composed by Franco Migliacci (lyrics) and Claudio Mattone (music). The song won the twenty-first edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, with a double performance by Nicola Di Bari and Nada. [1] The Di Bari's version peaked at first place for six weeks on the Italian hit parade. [2]
The song was also very successful in Mexico, where it was covered in Spanish by Lupita D'Alessio with the title "Mi corazón es un gitano"; D'Alessio's version, along with the original Italian versions by Nada and Nicola Di Bari, topped the charts in Mexico in 1971. [3]
The song was later covered by several artists, including Al Martino (with the title "The Gipsy in You"), Paul Mauriat, Albano Carrisi, Chiara Civello and Dalida.
