Mother of pearl (For Ben)/Madreperla (per Ben)

MOTHER OF PEARL                  MADREPERLA
      (FOR BEN)                                (PER BEN)

All this time                                   Tutto questo tempo
I've been waiting                            Ho atteso che
For the Echo of your voice             L'Eco della tua voce
To wake me up                               Mi destasse
And make me look                         E mi facesse vedere
At the real ME                                Il vero ME stesso
Inside this shell                               In questo guscio
Mother of pearl                               Madreperla
Brother of coral                               Fratello corallo

And all this time                             E tutto questo tempo
I've been waiting                            Ho atteso che
For your Song                                Il tuo Canto
To work its way                              Si insinuasse
Into the depths                                Nelle profondità
Of my inner self                             Del mio essere
Inside the shell                               Dentro il guscio
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla

Now that you're here                      Ora che ci sei
All I can say                                   Ciò che posso dire
All I can do                                    Ciò che posso fare
Is doing it for you                          E' farlo per te
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla
Brother of coral                              Fratello corallo
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla
Mother of pearl                              Madreperla

Buried Treasure/Tesoro sepolto

BURIED TREASURE             TESORO SEPOLTO

One step at a time                     Un passo alla volta
And you will find me                E mi troverai
Buried here                               Sepolta qui
For you or eternity                    Per te, o l'eternità
The clues are there                    Gli indizi sono lì
If you look carefully                 Se guardi con attenzione
Don't get fooled                        Non farti imbrogliare
Or taken in                                O prendere in giro
The real Kit                               Il vero Kit
Hid me here                              Mi nascose qui
In the guise of a hare                In guisa di lepre
Under a full moon                    Sotto la luna piena
At Catherine's feet                   Ai piedi di Catherine
It's up to you, now                   Adesso tocca a te
One step at a time                    Un passo alla volta
And you will find me               E mi troverai
Buried here                              Sepolta qui
Buried hare                              Lepre sepolta
For you or eternity                   Per te, o l'eternità
