The French lyrics, under the title “Les moulins de mon cœur“, were written by Eddy Marnay. The song (with the English lyrics) was used as the theme for the 1968 film, The Thomas Crown Affair. In the original 1968 film, the song was performed by Noel Harrison who took the song to #8 in the UK Singles Chart. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1968.

Helena Vondráčková has also recorded a Czech language rendering of the song entitled “Můžeš Zůstat, Můžeš Jít“. This music is so good that finding in the web no decent music video for it, I decided to do it myself. Hope distinguished audience will like it.
