She also ventured into singing foreign language tunes in Spanish (Lo Siento Mucho) and in Japanese (Here's My Happiness). The latter was originally sung by Teddy Tanaka and covered also famously by Nora Aunor's sometime singing partner Eddie Peregrina. The Irving Berlin penned Sayonara from the 1957 film of the same name, while Japanese in theme, is fully in English. On the other hand, Love Me With All Your Heart, was originally a Spanish song, Cuando calienta el sol. The same can be said of The Wedding which was originally a Spanish tune named La Novia (the Bride).
