To Fly

I think, such a dream
Will never return.
I painted hands and face in the blue
And then suddenly the wind kidnapped me
And I began to fly in an infinite sky.
 
To fly,
To sing
In the blue, painted in the blue,
I am happy to be above.
 
And I flew, flew happy
Higher the sun and even higher
While the world disappeared slowly
Far away down.
A sweet music played only for me.
 
But all my dreams disappeared at the daybreak because
When the moon sets, it brings them with itself.
But I continue dreaming about your beautiful eyes
Which are blue as the sky embroidered with stars...
 
To fly,
To sing
In the blue, painted in the blue,
I am happy to be above.
 
And I flew, flew happy
Higher the sun and even higher
While the world disappeared slowly
In your blue eyes.
Your voice is a sweet music
Which plays for me.
 
To fly,
To sing
In the blue of your blue eyes,
I am happy to be here down.

I am not a poet and I don't speak Italian. But I CAN read. Your translation is very free -- too free for my taste. The clear meaning of the words is just brushed aside.
