Il conto di un'anima trascurata/The bill of a neglected soul 
    There was a time not far   
   in which a shell of stone was defending my pain   
   taking refuge in the "duty"   
   even though I saw the world collapse around me year after year.   
 
  There Was a Time Not to  
       
   in which a shell of stone was defending my pain    
   taking refuge in the "duty"    
   even though I saw the world collapse around me year after year.    
  
     Non una lacrima, non un cedimento     
     camminare senza avere pietà per ciò che il mio cuore provava.     
  
   Not a tear, not a failure    
      
   walk without feeling pity for what my heart felt.    
  
  
     Ma l'anima assorbe come una spugna     
     e la sua luce, anche se affievolita, rimane  sempre viva.     
  
   But the soul absorbs like a sponge    
      
   and its light, though weakened, is still alive.    
  
     Arriva un tempo in cui ti presenta il conto     
     ti chiede perchè anche tu l'hai tradita ed ignorata     
     facendole più male     
     di chi lo faceva a te.     
  
   There comes a time when it submits you the bill    
      
   and it also ask why you have betrayed and ignored it     
   making Itself more harm  
  Than who did it to you.  
 
   That courage and coolness that flaunt   
   were the only way I found   
   for not admitting the need for protection and peace of mind   
   you need to learn to live.   
 
  That courage and coolness That flaunt  
   
  Were the only way I've found  
  not to admit the need for protection and peace of mind  
  I needed to learn to live.  
 
   So Suddenly, one day show that child whom you ignored for years   
   and cry for the sense of helplessness that you feel him   
   for that weakness you could not afford a time.   
 
  And I know, Suddenly, one day you show That child who for years ignored  
   
  and cry for the sense of helplessness you feel That on  
 weakness  For That You Could not afford a time.  
 
   teach someone how to walk   
   long way and will   
   surround it in the dark and noise   
   and will no longer recognize his path.   
 
  Teach someone how to walk  
  and he will do a long way  
  Com HAVING surround and dark noise  
  No Longer Recognize His path.  
 
   I pray thee, my soul, take the time that I've stolen   
   and permit that barrier of stone   
   to hide, once again, my deep sense of sadness .   
 
  I pray thee, O my soul, take the time That I've stolen  
   
  That barrier of stone and permit  
  to hide, once again, my deep sense of sadness.
