身兼演員、歌手及作曲三棲的意籍男藝人Jimmy Fontana與Gianni Meccia及Carlo Pes於1965年創作了"Il Mondo"這意大利語歌曲，並由前者灌唱。1966年，Decca唱片公司把該曲編成英語版，保留了Il Mondo兩字於整篇歌詞內及把歌名修改為"My World (Il Mondo)"後，交由剛以一曲"Release Me"竄紅英美樂壇的Engelbert Humperdinck作演譯，並收錄於其首張個人LP《Release Me》內。
記憶中，Engelbert Humperdinck主唱的"My World (Il Mondo)"在當年逕電台播放後，迅即廣受其時港澳流行樂迷的歡迎，並吸引了不少本地著名歌手及歌唱比賽的參賽者以此曲作演譯。從筆者的欣賞角度而言，除了喜愛這熟識的英籍歌手他那柔和及帶雄渾的唱腔外，整體歌曲的層次編排尤其出色，由平淡的前段演譯，瞬間爬升上全曲的高潮所在，往後卻又能巧妙地似的把那蕩氣迴腸之感延伸下去。
被網友上載至Youtube，由原唱者Jimmy Fontana演譯的"Il Mondo"灌唱及現場版:
No, esta noche amor no, yo no he pensado en ti
Abrí los ojos para ver en torno a mí, y entorno a mí giraba el mundo
Como siempre.
Gira, el mundo gira, en el espacio infinito,
Con amores que comienzan, con amores que se han ido,
Con las penas y alegrías de la gente como yo.
O mundo, llorando ahora yo te busco,
En el silencio yo me pierdo y no soy nada al verte a ti.
El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día vendrá.
O mundo…
El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día
Vendrá.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Abrí los ojos para ver en torno a mí, y entorno a mí giraba el mundo
Como siempre.
Gira, el mundo gira, en el espacio infinito,
Con amores que comienzan, con amores que se han ido,
Con las penas y alegrías de la gente como yo.
O mundo, llorando ahora yo te busco,
En el silencio yo me pierdo y no soy nada al verte a ti.
El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día vendrá.
O mundo…
El mundo no se ha parado ni un momento,
Su noche muere y llega el día y ese día
Vendrá.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

七十年代，"My World (Il Mondo)"也曾被香港女歌手葉麗儀(Frances Yip)及陸小雅(Juliana Luok)演譯灌唱，更曾被改編成由齊格飛(黃奇智)填詞、方逸華(Mona Fong)主唱及Los Mensajeros Del Paraquay伴唱 的華語+西班牙版本："無言的情詩"。

啊....
月光輕輕照在樹林裏，
月下尋夢人兒再彈起，
愛情歌兒美麗卻又悲悽。
Gira Il Mondo Gira,
Nello Spazio Senza Fine.
Con Gli Amori Appena Nati,
Con Gli Amori Già Finiti.
Con La Gioia E Col Dolore
Della Gente Come Me...
我心裏，
也像有琴兒輕輕彈起，
那愛情歌兒霧樣神秘，
撩起了往日模糊情意。
舊情意，
卻偏是一首無言情詩，
像月光默默無語，
沉寂裏，添悲悽。
Il Mondo,
Soltanto Adesso Io Ti Guardo.
Nel Tuo Silenzio Io Mi Perdo.
E Sono Niente Accanto A Te.
Il Mondo Non Si è Fermato
Mai Un Momento.
La Notte Insegue Sempre Il Giorno.
Ed Il Giorno
La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La
A....moi....
2005年，新晉意籍男歌手Patrizio Buanne，也就是上述筆者於數年前某處聽來的男聲，以英意雙語夾雜形式重新演譯"Il Mondo"，但這次其版本的名字卻被改成"Il Mondo (My World)"，以下是他在某音樂會中演譯該曲的Youtube短片連結:
