  Hello, neoton. But maybe Igl is right with his suggestion? - Has anyone heard this original?
  If you look here:  https://www-discogs-com.translate.goog/release/8780030-Надежда-Чепрага-Только-Ты?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=de&_x_tr_hl=de
  then the credits for the lyrics go to Simion Ghimpu (a Moldovan) and also to Iurie Badicu (obviously also a Moldovan from the name) for the Russian lyrics.
  And of course Ion Suruceanu is also a Moldovan. (In 1990 he was awarded the People's Artist Prize of the Moldavian SSR.)
  Nadezhda's version was released in 1984 and Ion's in 1987.
  Strange that Korać is mentioned as the song's author only on Discogs and nowhere else (if you look e.g. here: https://secondhandsongs.com/artist/48483  )
  But at least I don't know in which year the song was written, because it is not mentioned anywhere.

  The song seems to have been written specifically for Rotaru and her style,but there is one problem..why she has to sing the song in serbian if this is the first version?🙄
  Pity...we can't see what author is credited on her version,because the song is missing in discogs.

  This is getting more and more interesting. But what's also very funny is when you watch Ion's video on Youtube - believe it or not, it has 32 million views! (way too much for a normal song)
  But I have to kill time and will keep following you.

  It would have been my first suggestion that a Serb would sing the song first if the composer was also a Serb.
  At first I also looked for Yugoslav versions from the 70s, but couldn't find anything.

  There is also the option,that the song has nothing to do with this author .Sometimes in Eastern Bloc countries they give false names for composers and Suruceanu also copied a fake name.😃😄

  Yes, now I have this singer with this song on Discogs. Because now I didn't search with the Serbian "само ти" as I did at first, but with the Russian "только ты". And she sings in Russian. https://www.discogs.com/de/master/183776-София-Ротару-София-Ротару

  @Amatieris: Give me a break now!
  Rotaru is a Russian-Ukrainian singer of Moldovan descent. And she sings in all languages ​​(Russian, Ukrainian, Moldovan, etc.)
  But you were right with your video suggestion! You just gave the wrong title in the wrong language. And in the video does she sing in which language? Moldovan? - All you have to do now is find this song called "Samo Ti" at Discogs - but in the right language! It's easy, isn't it?

  "Samo Ti" is Serbian (or Croatian), but I don't have to tell you that, you know this better than me. Only for my personal interest: To me the the song doesn't sound real Serbian, does it? - But I have to pick up my sister now. - Will follow later.

  I know that the author of the video, Stefanka Chervenkova, did not correctly indicate the name in Serbian, it must be Samo ti. You see, the database on Discogs is not yet perfect, for example, this Rotaru song is not there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXKjcOiMaCY

  If you type in "Samo Ti" you get 214 results, but if you type it in Serbian "само ти" you get 19 results, for Russian "только ты" 308 - in each case only for the 70s; at least here where I live.. But we both checked it with no hits.  (Once I didn't find a song I knew the title of on Discogs because I had chosen the German site - and it was forced on me by Google. With DuckDuckGo, I'm automatically taken to the international site.)
  
  But that doesn't matter now, because Amatieris has already released the matching video! (At the moment, if someone else doesn't come up with an even older video by another singer! - In the comments to this video, one actually said that there is also a Russian version of it.) The original was mistakenly titled "Само ты" (not Amatieri's fault) - you won't find a song by Rotaru with this title on Discogs (at least not in Russian). And this song is sung 100 percent in Serbian (Just me wasn't sure - what do I know!).
  I suggest (like Amatieris already did) that this song, most likely "Samo Ti", is simply not listed on Discogs.
  But if I were a pedant, and I am, I would already look further, because Korać has already died. Probably only he could tell us when the song was written (and by whom).😃
  Rotaru's video only has 22,000 views (so far) but is the better version for me.

  After a long search, I can first offer you this song, a kind of pre-release version (don't laugh):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmLJbFrv77M
  ( https://www.discogs.com/de/release/9979811-Various-Для-Вас-Женщины )
  And then I found the first publication of Nadejda Cepraga's "Numai tu", it's from 1978: 
  https://www.discogs.com/de/release/13689324-Оркестр-пу-Павла-Овсянникова-Телевизионное-Шоу-Мелоди
  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeR2bgiGo-g )
  
  We had the same problem with her as with Rotaru: the songs they sang not in Russian were listed on Discogs with Russian titles only. (With Rotaru there is still the exception that her CD with Ukrainian folk songs is not listed in Russian at all).
  At least for now, this should now be the original. What do you think?

  In the comments on the video with Cepraga, someone also asks about the original version in Serbian and one of the users answered that it is on the Internet. So far, we only know the Serbian version by Rotaru

  Hello Amatieris. For now I can only tell you that I listened to all of Rotaru's titles on Discogs (singles and compilations too); and on other platforms (e.g. mezzoforte.ru etc.). And we were looking for these or similar titles in different languages. But I agree, if there would be a video on youtube, you could find it. I also quoted comments from viewers, but I am more interested in their reactions. If that person had been sure, he could have given the name of the singer too.
  We keep searching on youtube even though I had to watch Katy Perry's extra cheese on her head a billion times today (commercials).
  Applause can be heard at the end of Rotaru's video, which was edited out. This is the only clue for me so far.
  Most of her songs, even the oldest ones, are easy to find on Youtube. I don't think they just forgot about that one recording.  Maybe it wasn't her original recording, but just sung live.
