“Ma Che Freddo Fa” (“But How Cold It Is”) was written by Claudio Mattone (music) and Franco Migliacci (lyrics).

The first verses include a citation of Donovan’s “Laléna“.
Nada’s version was a massive success – reaching #1 in Italy - selling about one million copies, mainly in the Italian and Spanish markets.
