One of the key musical themes in the film, but I prefer Ennio Morricone's version in the original soundtrack from "Once Upon a Time in America" (an excellent album).

The best version. My parents were musicians and one of the perks of sleeping in our LR, on the castro convertable couch was that my Mother played us to sleep on the piano most nights. Amapola was one of her/my favorite songs ... The juxtaposition of this wonderful haunting melody with a violent scene made it so much more powerful.
