"Soleado" (Spanish: "Sunny") is a mainly instrumental piece of music composed by Ciro Dammicco under the alias "Zacar", based on his earlier composition "Le rose blu" (1972).
In 1974 Spanish actor and singer Manolo Otero recited a poem, Todo el tiempo del mundo (All the Time in the World), with the tune in the background.
In 1975, Neşe Karaböcek included a cover in Turkish named Gözyaşları Yalan Söylemez (Tears Don't Lie) on her album Deli Gibi Sevdim.
Mireille Mathieu recorded a version in French, On ne vit pas sans se dire adieu (We do not live without saying goodbye).
Also in Britain that same year St Andrew's Chorale released a non-lyriced version under the title Cloud 99 on Decca Records, which reached number 31 in the UK charts.
