Bugiardo e incosciente

"Bugiardo e incosciente" (transl. "Deceitful and Reckless") is an Italian-language cover of the Spanish song "La tieta", recorded in 1967 by singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat. Lyricist Paolo Limiti wrote Italian version for singer Mina, although it has little in common with the original. It was included in her 1969 album ...bugiardo più che mai... più incosciente che mai.... The song became the third single from the album in February 1970 and reached number nine on the Italian chart.^[2]
