"Tra te e il mare" (lit. '"Between you and the sea"') is a song written by Italian singer-songwriter Biagio Antonacci and originally recorded by Laura Pausini. The song, produced by Pausini herself with Alfredo Cerruti and Dado Parisini, was released on 21 August 2000 as the first single from the album of the same name.[1] A Spanish-language version of the song, with lyrics adapted by Ignacio Ballesteros and titled "Entre tú y mil mares", was also recorded and released by Pausini for the Hispanic market.

The single hit the top five in Italy, and entered the top twenty of the US Hot Latin Songs chart, as well as on the French Singles Chart.

This version of the song includes a sample from "Start Me Up" by the Rolling Stones.[3]

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.[4]
