Her other works include English lyrics for "Historia de amor" by Carlos Almaran, entitled "The History of Love", and lyrics for "Velvet Waters", an American instrumental composition by William Plunkett. Vocal versions of "Velvet Waters" were recorded in Australia by Bruce Gillespie (1960) and Tony Worsley (1965).
