This song is not on the Godfather soundtrack
editOnly the instrumental version of it is. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/The_Godfather_%28soundtrack%29
Please correct the error and specify where this song, sung by Andy Williams, is available. Again, the Andy Williams version of this song is not on the Godfather soundtrack. Only the instrumental. But nothing with lyrics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.27.31 (talk) 01:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
another cover
editSanto and Johnny have covered this song and its quite amazing i must say —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.56.140 (talk) 03:00, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Recordings
editThere are quite a few Russian versions, but certainly not by Alexander Vertinsky, who died in 1957. There is no Czech version by Jiri Malasek, there is only a piano version played by him, without any lyrics. And I doubt that there is a Slovak version by Frantisek K. Vesely or anybody else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.0.92.132 (talk) 05:47, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Written for the Godfather?
editIf It was written for the Godfather which was made in 1972, why does Johnny Dorelli release a version in 1970? cf: [1] Walker Slake (talk) 11:43, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- The link is dead, but probably it's confusing Speak Softly, Love 1972 with Love Story from 1970. MartinezMD (talk) 00:27, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Speak Softly, Love → Love Theme from The Godfather – Or The Godfather (Love Theme). Either the instrumental theme is more well known, or the English-lyrics version is. However, it's hard to tell. Both versions performed variously in music charts, and the titles of different versions are commonly used. The English lyrics were based on the instrumental piece, which... well, came earlier before The Godfather or was recycled from earlier works, according to sources.

- Support per nomination (Speak Softly, Love → Love Theme from The Godfather). The instrumental, which is so well known that it has been even heard as a car horn, is usually referenced as "Love Theme from The Godfather" or simply as "Theme from The Godfather" / "The Godfather theme", rather as "Speak Softly Love". The song, which does not have an entry that is separate from the entry for the instrumental, is also alternatively known as "Love Theme from The Godfather". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 20:07, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- There's "The Godfather Waltz" (main theme/title). I just now redirected The Godfather theme, which is probably ambiguous, to The Godfather (soundtrack). George Ho (talk) 20:16, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've now recently transformed the article about the English version (old revision) into the article about the instrumental and then its English adaptation (new revision). George Ho (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
