Lyrics

L'Albero Pazzo (The Mad Tree)

One leaf in the forest fell
One cry in the night
One life lived under branches
where even the shadows are bright

She said "I will be there"
She said "alright"
The seasons they come and they go

Was that my first mistake?
You see how my heart breaks
Was that my first mistake?
And I have waited
I have waited for you
(aspetto te)
My mothers son
I long to sing
(aspetto solo te)
Without you I'm nothing
(solo te)

Forse ci siamo sfiorati in alto mare
come imbarcazioni che passano nella notte
e non si salutano e non si conoscono

Ti ho aspettato quando credevo
nell'inutilit della speranza
quando mendicante ero carico di sogni

Ti ho aspettato pago di una completa sconfitta
Ti ho aspettato quando il sorriso
era una smorfia sul mio viso

Was that my first mistake?
You see how my heart breaks
Was that my first mistake?
And I have waited
I have waited for you
(aspetto te)
My mothers son
I long to sing
(aspetto solo te)
Without you I'm nothing
(solo te)
