"Una lacrima sul viso" (Italian for A Tear on your Face) is a song composed by Mogol and Bobby Solo and performed by Bobby Solo. The song premiered at the fourteenth Sanremo Music Festival, with a double performance by Solo and Frankie Laine, who proposed an English version of the song with the title "For Your Love". The song entered the final, but Solo was affected by laryngitis and, unable to sing, he sang with playback being subsequently disqualified.
The single peaked at first place for nine consecutive weeks on the Italian hit parade.It sold over three million copies worldwide, and it was awarded a gold disc.
The song also named a musicarello film with the same name, directed by Ettore Maria Fizzarotti and starred by the same Bobby Solo and by Laura Efrikian.
The song was later covered by several artists, including Richard Clayderman, Franck Pourcel, Achille Togliani, Claude Challe and Francis Goya. It was also used in several films, notably Whit Stillman's Barcelona,Xavier Giannoli's When I Was a Singer, and François Ozon's 5x2.
