In 1954, the English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel and recorded by Dean Martin backed by Dick Stabile's orchestra.

This recording reached number 15 on the Billboard magazine best-seller chart and number six on the UK chart.

The single was released with the B-side "Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket" (Jule Styne, Bob Hilliard) in the US, while the British version was backed by "Pretty as a Picture" (Johnny Anz).

The song was well received by critics, being described as a "happy reading of a listenable ditty in the Latin-American manner" by a contemporary reviewer.

A version of his rendition is used in the trailer for the movie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2022).
