Rita Hovink (1944-1979) was a Dutch singer. She sang both in Dutch and in English and was known for her warm, low alto and her theatrical tone of voice. Rita Hovink became seriously ill in 1976, 32 years old. She died in 1979 of cancer, only 35 years old. She left a daughter behind.
Hovink released seven singles and four albums during her life; four other albums came out posthumously. Other modest hits were 'That first kiss'/'Die eerste zoen' (1964); 'Ay Dolores' (1976); and 'Antonio' (1977).

The above song 'Leave me alone'/'Laat me alleen' (1976) was originally written in Italian by Paolo Dossena, Cesare Gigli, Maurizio Monti and Giovanni Ullu. The Dutch lyricist Gerrit den Braber didn't translate the Italian songtext, but wrote his own lyrics on the melody (also about a lost love).
The song was not an enourmous hit (number 29 in the Top 40), but is still every year voted into the Top 2000 (traditionally broadcasted during the last week of the year), as high as place 270/2000.
 More translated Dutch songs in the genre 'life song' ('levenslied, smartlap') and more with the theme 'heartache songs'. See also the list of Dutch artists with all their songs on this website.
