Quando

When

(You) Tell me when, when

Where are your eyes and your mouth

They could be in Africa for all it matters

Tell me when, when

Where are your hands and your nose

(Heading) towards a hopeless day

But I am longing (or yearning)

I am still longing.

Tell me when, when

You don't look at me anymore, love

I am tired

Because I think of the future.

Tell me when, when

We are angels

who search for a smile

Don't hide your face

Because I am longing, I am still yearning.

And I will live, yes I will live

each day in order to see you go away.

Between my memories and this odd craziness

And paradise, which doesn't exist

someone who wants a child, doesn't insist.

Tell me when, when

I need to see you

at least once

just to tell you that I still hate you

Tell me when, when

You know that I will never have you

And you're about to smile

And I am longing, I'm still longing

And I will live, yes I will live

each day in order to see you go away.

Between my memories and this odd craziness

And paradise, which doesn't exist

someone who wants a child, doesn't insist.

As for translating "ho sete", that literally means "I have thirst", so in english that would literally mean "I am thirsting..", however I don't think anyone would say that without saying WHAT they are thirsting for, so for that I believe a more accurate translation would be "I am longing" or "I am yearning", that's why I wrote that.

The sentence "chi vuole un figlio non insiste" is translated by you not really correct.
You translated the verb "insistere" as "to exist" but in fact it means in English not to exist but TO INSIST.
So, I advise you translate this sentence like this: someone who wants a child, doesn't insist.
Un figlio can mean in Italian not only "the son" but also just a child.
