Bobby Vinton - Wooden Heart (1975) video free download

The melody is German - generally thought to come from Swabia (Schwaben), near the Black Forest. The Vinton words are not German - serce (which I can make out) is the Polish word for "heart", The original German / Swabian dialect words also constitute a love song, but nothing about a wooden heart - "If I must leave, If I must leave the town, and you have to stay here - when I come, when I come again, I'll return to you." .etc

As I recall, Bobby Vinton said his grandmother fussed at him to sing a song in Polish, and he chose this song.

Bobby is Polish, I am guessing he is singing Polish. It is definitely not German. :)

Interesting. Good on Bobby. Elvis must've been aware of this for in August 1975 Elvis sang a line of "Roses are Red". Is that verse done in Polish ?

Another good release LimeP. This appeared in the Elvis movie G. I. Blues, was a hit for Joe Dowell in 1961 and in recent years was part of a CD from the great Belgian performer Helmut Lotti, under its original German name Muss I Denn. This is the first time I've heard the Vinton version.
