The song was translated into French (under the title "T'aimer follement", meaning "Love you madly") and recorded by two French singers: Dalida for her 1960 album Les enfants du Pirée [7] and soon then-unknown Johnny Hallyday.

The Way of Love" is a song written by Jacques ("Jack") Dieval, with English lyrics by Al Stillman. It was originally a 1960 French song titled "J'ai le mal de toi", and it was first recorded in English by Kathy Kirby in 1965. The best-known English version was by Cher whose recording reached No. 7 in the US.
An English translation was written by Bruce Sievier (1894, Paris – 1953) and is known as "Speak to Me of Love" or "Tell Me About Love". It was also recorded by Dalida in 1961, and it features her 1961 album, Garde-moi la dernière danse. Caterina Valente recorded it in 1960, but she sang it with a very special timbre.
In late 1960, the song was adapted into French by Georges Aber as "Tu parles trop" (a literal translation of the title) and was recorded by Johnny Hallyday, and was released as a single in January 1961 [10] from his second studio album Nous les gars, nous les filles ("Us guys, us girls"), which was released one month later.
