My favorite version of the song - Speak Low, in performance Billie Holiday . The color of the voice, the rhythm, everything is beautiful. But words. Ah those words. Words are the ones that blow me to a million parts and reassemble at some other time, at some other place ..... https://youtu.be/XZHzuG3j0hw Говори тише кад причаш, љубави Speak low when you speak, love Наш летњи дан прерано вене, прерано Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon Говори тише кад причаш, љубави Speak low when you speak, love Наш тренутак је брз, попут бродова који плутају, прерано смо разнесени Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon Говори тише, душо, говори тихо Speak low, darling, speak low Љубав је искра, изгубљена у мраку прерано, прерано Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon Осећам где год да одем да је сутра близу, сутра је овде и увек прерано I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon Време је тако старо, а љубав тако кратка Time is so old and love so brief Љубав је чисто злато, а време лопов Love is pure gold and time a thief Каснимо, драга, каснимо We're late, darling, we're late Завеса се спушта, све се завршава прерано, прерано The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon Чекам, драгa, чекам I wait, darling, I wait Хоћеш ли са мном говорити tiho, govori tiho и uskoro (požuri) Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

Great jazz singer, I watched one of her New Orleans movies, and I think she wrote a book, her autobiography
Yes, she is a jazz diva for sure. One and unrepeatable.
It seems a bossanova...! Cool remix but the real Queen is Billie and her unmistakable voice!
