I tried to translate the song considering i couldn't quite find a translation. You are welcome to fix any errors that occur, i used a translator. It sounds pretty decent to me.

cold, I become cold,
and I understand a little more ....
if it is my misery, dragging me slowly
in the dark ....

I did not think
happen to me
Now I'm alone
and I find no peace
desperate as ever ...
now I feel that
my soul
is like a leaf in the wind
suspended in a vacuum
lets take away.

I feel fragile fragile
and I understand a little more ...
if is true
that on my face, slowly,
slips
a drop of dew taste so bitter.

I did not think
happen to me
Now I'm alone
lost in a drop,
is this a tear?
I wonder if
a tear
can clear away
all the pain
and suddenly in me

I try hard to respond but I know that does not come back, no
But even time can heal this wound, no, I think, no
I try hard to understand but I know it will not return the love, no
I try hard to respond but I know that does not come back, no

I did not think
happen to me
Now I'm alone
lost in a drop,
is this a tear?
I wonder if
a tear
can clear away
all the pain
and suddenly in me

now I feel that
my soul
is like a leaf in the wind
suspended in vacuum
lets take away

I have to grudgingly admit, despite my dislike for machine translations, that it sounds pretty accurate, if inelegant and somewhat grammatically incorrect. I took a shot at it myself, and here's what I came up with:

Cold, I become cold
And I want to understand a little more
If it is my torment that drags me slowly
Into the darkness...

I didn't believe that
It could happen to me
Now I am alone
And I can find no peace
I despair like never before...
Now I feel that
My soul
Is like a leaf in the wind
Suspended in space,
Letting itself be carried away.

Fragile, I feel fragile
And I want to understand a little more
If it is my own reality
That, slowly sliding
Down my face
Is a drop of dew that tastes so bitter.

I didn't believe that
It could happen to me
Now I am alone
Lost in a drop
Is this a tear?
And I ask myself if
A tear
Could cancel out
All the pain that
Is suddenly within me

I search intensely for a response but I know that I can never go back, no
But not even time can heal these wounds, no, I don't believe it, no
I search intensely for understanding but I know that love will never come back, no
I search intensely for a reaction but I know that I can never go back, no

I didn't believe that
It could happen tome
Now I am alone
Lost in a drop
Is this a tear?
And I ask myself if
A tear
Could cancel out
All the pain that
Is suddenly within me

Now I feel that
My soul
Is like a leaf on the wind
Suspended in space,
Letting itself be carried away

Ah, thank you.
that makes much more sense.
I know absolutely no italian, but i want to know what a song means if i really like it.
