La canzone del bambino nel vento (Auschwitz) (English translation)

The song of the boy in the wind (Auschwitz)
I am dead, along with hundreds
I am dead, I was a boy:
passing through the chimney
and now I'm in the wind.
In Auschwitz there was snow:
the smoke slowly rose,
on a cold winter day
and now I'm in the wind.
In Auschwitz - so many people
but (there's) only a great silence;
it's strange: I'm still unable
to smile here in the wind.
I wonder, how man could
kill one of his own,
yet we are millions
made ashes here in the wind.
And still the cannon thunders
and still it's not content,
from blood - the human beast
and still the wind brings us here.
I wonder when will it be
that man will learn
to live without killing,
and the wind will settle...
I wonder when will it be
that man will learn
to live without killing,
and the wind will settle...
And the wind will settle...

We were watching documentaries surrounding concentration camps and I'm a little baffled that I hadn't come across this song yet, I found it by accident when I was filling a request for this same artist. I know there's translations already out there, but I didn't want to copy and paste something else and I wanted to stay true to the original lyrics. As always, suggestions/corrections are always welcome!
