曲谱简介：

Speak Softly Love Speak Softly Love (Love Theme from The Godfather) is a song written for The Godfather (1972), the first film in The Godfather trilogy. While its instrumental version is simply known as "The Godfather Love Theme", "Speak Softly Love" is the vocal version. The lyrics are by Larry Kusik but the music itself is by Nino Rota. The signature musical theme that opens the piece closely models a theme that appears early in "Preludio - Povero Ernesto!" in the opera Don Pasqualeby Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848). A similar melody also appears in the Overture to La Forza del Destinoby Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). There are also different sets of lyrics for the song in Italian ("Parla Più Piano"), French ("Parle Plus Bas") and also in Sicilian ("Brucia La Terra"). The Sicilian version is sung by Anthony Corleone (Franc DAmbrosio) in The Godfather Part III.
