"Romance Anónimo" (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar.
"Romance Anónimo" (Anonymous Romance) is a piece for guitar. Its origins and authorship are currently in question. It is suspected of originally being a solo instrumental guitar work, from the 19th century. The earliest recording of "Romance" is on a cylinder made in Madrid sometime between 1897 and 1901.

Narciso Yepes (Romance Anonimo)
Romance Anonimo II- Shan Zhong
"Jeux interdits" AKA "Romance"

Several vocal versions including lyrics were arranged:

Marie Laforet- Les jeux interdits (& Francoise Hardy)
Francoise Hardy - San Salvador
Mireille Mathieu - Amour Défendu (1977)

Update:
Bat-eared (analog of eagle-eyed) Yuri Drozd, noticed (in the comments) that it "very much like" "народний" романс "Нiч яка мiсячна" (приглашение девушки на свидание в лес ночью).

VASILY GERELLO UKRAINIAN SONG NICH YAKA MISYACHNA
Нiч яка мiсячна В бой идут одни старики

The story of it is amazing as well. Lyrics 1883 Михаил Старицкий. Current music is by an unknown author created nobody-knows-when (earliest notes ~1914, but the earliest known recording ~beginning of summer 1937 обр. Оскар Аронович Сандлер). It's possible that the ukrainian romance was the source of "Romance Anónimo" or vice versa.
