Balla Linda was written by Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti in the late '60's. In 1969, American group The Grass Roots scored a hit with its English translation Bella Linda.
I loved this tune from the moment I heard it. It probably helped that I had a big crush on a girl named Linda at the time.
Note to any Italians out there: I took small artistic liberties in my translation of the lyrics. ;)
