To-day, Sonja is considered by many to be a Russian folk song. In truth, it was composed and written by a Hungarian and an Ashkenazi Jew, respectively.
The tune was composed by Hungarian composer Jenö (Eugen) Partos, (1895.-1963.)
The words, originally in German, were written by Bedřich Löwy, better known as Fritz Löhner-Beda, (1883-1942), a famous Austrian librettist, writer and poet, author of the tango "Oh donna Clara", Anthem of Buchenwald prisoners, and many other songs still known today.
Bedřich Löwy was beaten to death on December 4, 1942, at the Monowitz concentration camp.
His song Sonya gained immense popularity, and was translated into many languages, including Russian itself. It was famously rendered (and recorded) in Spanish, by the Argentinian-French singer Carlos Gardel (1890.-1935.)
This is, if not the very first, then certainly one of the earliest Serbian recordings of the song. Later it was recorded in Croatian by Vlaho Paljetak. Its popularity did not diminish even after the war. Unlike many songs, it continues to be performed even in the present day.
