  Udo Jürgens ist printed on the cover of the vinyl, 1971. You can look it up here (if you click on More Images, 2nd image):
  https://www.discogs.com/release/7948777-Стефка-Берова-И-Йордан-Марчинков-Очите-Казват-Да-Семее
  
  And the song they are refering to is this song (Udo Jürgens and Margot Eskens - Schlagzeug Und Bass Und Klavier (Dearer Than Dear) 1959, (Written by: Diane Lampert, Fred Spielman; German lyrics: Kurt Feltz):

  And the original of this song is Roger Williams and The Happy Harts - Dearer Than Dear (1959), (Written by: Diane Lampert, Fred Spielman). 
  There is no audio sample at all on the net for this one.

  That means, your sample is a cover of a cover.

  Dear neaegeressem,thanks for your precious help.Feel free to propose original english name.Now i understand why i haven't found the song until now,just because the composition is not written by Udo.I listened to song by song by Udo in the 70s, but I didn't have a song like mine.
  BTW,the year (1971)mentioned in discogs of my cover is incorrect.The song was never released before '76.

  We are all mostly here to kill time 😃!
  
  I have also listened to all songs of Udo Jürgens.
  I  think one should‘nt be so hasty to accuse those at Discogs, for example, of making a mistake superficially. Because apart from the fact that only part of everything can be recorded there, I already assume that everything else is selected with some care. And what is even more important, it is simply impossible to reduce the most diverse publications of all countries here to one point exactly. And then there are promo albums, albums for non-sale etc. and sometimes the producers and artists themselves don't really know, or don't want to know (for other reasons).
  But now, when a name is printed on a cover, that's always the one to trust the most, in my view.  
  
  There is only a second song by him that also has a similar sound (“Se Partirai”, 1965, sung in Italian, which is, by the way, also a cover song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2x-ccCnMyk ).
  
  As for my proposal: The non-identical total duration of the song can be safely ignored.
  But because the song was not covered identically, and not least because of the completely different language, the most important thing is to see what the music has in common.  That's why I cut out the vocals as much as possible in both songs. You can listen to both here:
  
  Schlagzeug und Bass und Klavier:
  https://voca.ro/19zRz7e998sp
  
  Очите Казват ''Да'':
  https://voca.ro/1gneNJ8b3Xy3
  
  It would also have been very helpful, at least for me, if I had understood the text of your version. And I could not find out until now whether it is Russian or Bulgarian. - Can you please tell me?
  But I am pretty sure that it is a pure love song as well.
  
  The lyrics of my song go like this: ''Drums and bass and piano and the guitar of me bring you today a serenade of happiness, this is my love music ....“  and so on.
  
  And now imagine that the lyrics of the original version (the English one) might not be a clear love song. - Even if the music is the first criterion for copyright protection, but what if Udo Jürgens was printed on the cover because the artists relied more on this extremely romantic recipe for success, specifically expressed by the lyrics themselves?
  
  But one thing is for sure, if we are left in the dark from the official side, then we can make our own judgment. And especially you now, because this is your post here.
  A proposal I would like to make, just to be able to end this page positively, but only then, not because you were convinced by me, but because you see it that way.
