It doesn't matter now

I looked closely at the dress I wear
and I saw more than a reason,
more than a fault..
it doesn't matter now,
doesn't matter.
 
Time passes,
my boat cuts the water
and makes lather on that sea
that dissolves slowly behind us.
Everything comes and goes
leaving its trace behind
to remember or forget..
who knows, yours and mine.
 
It doesn't matter now,
doesn't matter.
 
Now that they put you on me
you smell like iron and biscuit
and truly seems you know everything
and nothing can hurt me anymore,
get to destroy, scratch,
or even threaten
what of good I have in me.
 
It doesn't matter now,
doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter now,
doesn't matter.
 
Time passes,
my boat cuts the water
and makes lather on that sea
that dissolves slowly behind us.
Everything comes and goes
leaving its trace behind
to remember or forget..
who knows, yours and mine.
 
It doesn't matter now,
doesn't matter,
doesn't matter,
doesn't matter,
doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter now.

Thank you for translating, volkinjaz.

You have done a good job, but may I suggest some alterations?

1. lascia dietro la sua scia / da tenere impressa o da dimenticare = leaving a trace behind / for us to remember or forget
2. o anche solo minacciare quel che c’è / di buono in me = or even threaten / the good things I have inside of me

I'm not fluent in Italian, these are just suggestions.
