"Amapola" is origineel een Spaanstalig liedje uit 1920 gezongen door de in Cádiz geboren componist José María Lacalle García (later Joseph Lacalle).[1] Na de dood van de componist in 1937, werd door Albert Gamse een Engelse tekst bij de muziek geschreven.[2] In de dertiger jaren van de 20ste eeuw werd het een standaard voor het rumba-repertoire, en kwam later in de hitlijsten terecht.
