“Somos Novios,” by Andrea Bocelli and Christina Aguilera
This song has been covered by so many wonderful singers.
Originally sung by Armando Manzanero in 1960, it was 10 years later when Elvis Presley sang “It’s Impossible,” which sounded the same. People accused him of stealing it.
Luis Miguel was also famous for singing this song in Spanish. He actually said that it should be only sung in Spanish because of its Bolero style.
