"Bambino" (Italian for "Little Boy" or "Child") is a song recorded by Italian-French singer Dalida that became her first major hit. It was first released on 28 October 1956 as the title song of her third EP, prior to her debut album Son nom est Dalida, where it was also included.[1] It is a French version of the Neapolitan song "Guaglione".
"Bambino" spent 45 weeks atop the French song charts, becoming the longest-running number one song in world history. It also topped the charts of several other countries[2] and was subsequently covered in Arabic language by Jean Dujardin, for the soundtrack of OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies.
