• Princessa recorded two versions of this song, one in Spanish, called "Que te quiero", on her self-titled 1993 album, and one in English on her 1999 album I Won't Forget You. The lyrics of the latter were taken from Sarah Brightman's version.
• Thúy Vi recorded this song on her album "Một lần trong đời", it was a Cinema Pictures production directed by Charlie Nguyên. This version also has different lyrics from the original.^[1]
