Tra te e il mare (song)

After writing the song, Antonacci recorded "Entre tú y mil mares" as a duet with the track's original performer, Pausini, and included the track in the compilation album Cuànto tiempo... y ahora, released in 2003. The Italian-language version of the song was recorded by Antonacci in 2008, for the album Il cielo ha una porta sola. This version of the song includes a sample from "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones. In 2013, the song was re-recorded with a new arrangement for Pausini's greatest hits album 20 - The Greatest Hits / 20 - Grandes Éxitos. This version of the song was re-issued in 2014 as a duet with Spanish singer Melendi. ==Live performances==

Pausini performed the song several times. In February 2001, Pausini gave a rendition of the song as a part of a medley during the 51st Sanremo Music Festival. During the concert she held il Milan on 2 December 2001, she performed the song with Biagio Antonacci.

Several other live versions of the song were released over the following years, and included in the albums Live in Paris 05, San Siro 2007, and Laura Live. During the live show Amiche per l'Abruzzo, created by Pausini herself in support of the populations affected by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake, Pausini performed "Tra te e il mare" as a duet with Italian singer Elisa. In 2014, during his concert at the San Siro stadium in Milan, Antonacci sang "Tra te e il mare" with Eros Ramazzotti and Laura Pausini.
