Peter Cincotti (piano & vocals)
Sway is the English version of "¿Quién será?", a 1953 mambo song by Mexican composer and bandleader Pablo Beltrán Ruiz. In 1954 English language lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel and recorded by Dean Martin, whose rendition reached number fifteen on the Billboard magazine best-seller chart.
The English version begins:
"When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway".
The Spanish version begins:
"Quien será el que me quiere a mi? Quien será?, quien será?".
