Una canzone

"Una canzone" ("The song") is a song recorded by Italian singer Mina in collaboration with the band New Trolls. The song was written by the band members, the arrangement was made by Gianfranco Lombardi. The song was released as the lead single from the 1981 album Salomè, but the release was commercially unsuccessful, reaching only number 21 on the chart, which became Mina's lowest chart position of all time. The B-side was the song "Quando l'amore ti tocca", written by Ninni Carucci and Renato Di Bitonto.

Both songs translated into French by Pierre Delanoë, respectively titled "C'est une chanson" and "Quand l'amour vous touche", were released in France as a single with the intention of including them in the new album completely in French, but the last project was almost immediately abandoned.
