                        L'Albero Pazzo (The Mad Tree)
                  Andrea Chimenti (featuring David Sylvian)

                   Ti Ho Aspettato (I Have Waited for You)
                          (lyrics by David Sylvian)

                         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'inutilitą 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)
