*Italian (as 'Ti conquister')

*Spanish (as 'El novio de otra', a. k. a. 'Mi tonto amor')

*Portuguese (as 'Um amor so meu')

*Dutch (as 'Jij bent niet van mij')

*Japanese (as '' - 'Yume no Deito').

The B-side of the single was 'Funicul, Funicul', an Italian recording from her U. S. album 'More Italian Favorites'.
