L'essenziale
The Essential
Heroes maintain that
"The game's only worth playing if it's hard"
Bless them because
They get bad confused with good
It even happens to us
we make war and aspire to peace
And in my silence
I will take all your pain away
to make me appreciate what I should have chosen
While the world falls apart
I create new places and hopes
that belong to you too
because you will forever be for me
The essential
I will not accept
another failure of your worth
Love hides
behind the kind words
I said before
that were empty and stupid
While the world falls apart
I create new places and hopes
that belong to you too
because you will forever be for me
While the world falls apart
I'll leave behind my excesses
and my bad habits
I will turn back to the beginning
Back to you, because you are for me
The essential
Love does not follow logic
it takes your breath away, but not your thirst for it
While the world falls apart
I create new places and hopes
that belong to you too
While the world falls apart
I'll leave behind my excesses
and my bad habits
I will turn back to the beginning
Back to you, because you are for me
The essential

Translating Italian LITERALLY, doesn't really work, especially in song lyrics! You have to translate the MEANING and not just the words. My translation is much closer to the MEANING of the original lyric and the sentiment contained and it allows people to "get" the song in English, compare this translation and the literal one and see which one makes sense!

The last line of the fourth stanza has been removed. Please review your translation.
Nice job, this is how a translation should be!
