here are the songs:
song without translation:
Piove sull�oceano, piove sull�oceano
Piove sulla mia identia
Lampi sull�oceano, lampi sull�oceano
Squarci di luminosita�ah
Forse qua in America I venti del pacifico
Scoprono le sue immensita
Le mie mani stringono sogni lontanissmi
E il mio pensiero corre da te
Remo, tremo, sento
Profondi e oscuri abissi
E per l�amore che ti do
E per l�amore che non sai
Che mi fai naufragare e
E per l�amore che non ho
E per l�amore che vorrei
E per questo dolore
Questo amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superar queste vere tempeste
Onde sull�oceano, onde sull�oceano
Che dolcemente si plachera
Le mie mani stringono sogni lontanissimi
E il tuo respiro soffia su me
Remo, tremo, sento
Vento in fondo al cuore
E per l�amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare mille tempeste
E per l�amore che ti do
E per l�amore che vorrei
Da questo mare
E per la vita che non c�e
Che mi fai naufragare in fondo al cuore
Tutto questo ti avra te e a sembera
Tutto normale

song (this one was in english):
Like the sound of silence calling
I hear your voic and suddenly I'm falling
Lost in a dream
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting
You say those words, my heart stops beating
I wonder what it means
What could it be that comes over me
At times I can't move
At times I can't hardly breathe
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
You're the one I've always thought of
I don't know how but I feel sheltered in your love
You're where I belong
And when you're with me if I close my eyes
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time
Somewhere between
The heavens and earth
I'm frozen in time
Oh when you say those words
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, ther's no one else alive
And this journey that we're on
How far we've come and I
Celebrateevery moment
When you say ou love me
That's all you have to say
I'll always feel this way
When you say you love me
The world goes still so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you

song (back to italian):
Il vento - che soffia piano
Questa notte - cambia il mio destino
E sento - che il cuore ancora si sorprendera
La vita � ora ha piu senso
Se guardo � questo cielo immenso
E la luna � innamorata s�illuminera di me
E sara�
All�improvviso amore
Come � il mare
M�invade il cuore e l�anima
E mi salvera
E sara natural � come respirare
L�aria in me
Mi parlera di te
Adesso �tutto e diverso
Respiro � te nell�universo
I tuoi occhi � son due stelle nell� oscurita�
All�improvviso amore
Come � il mare
M�invade il cuore e l�anima
E mi salvera
E sara naturale � come respirare
E sara vero amore che guarisce il cuore
Luce dentro me nascera

song (back to english):
Wash away the thoughts inside
That keep my mind away from you
No more love and no more pride
And thoughts are all I have to do
Remember when it rained
I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name
Remember when it rained
In the darkness I remain
Tears of hope run down my skin
Tears for you that will not dry
They magnify the one within
And let the outside slowly die
Remember when it rained
I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name
Remember when it rained
In the water I remain
Running down...
