In the same year, German singer Nino de Angelo released a German-language version called "Jenseits von Eden" ("East of Eden") as well as an album with the same name. There was also an Italian-language version of the song, which – due to a mistake – originally had the Spanish name La valle del Edén. In 1984, the Italian title was changed to the correct La valle dell'Eden.[10]
