La Finestra Lyrics in English by Articolo 31

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Finestra by Articolo 31 from Italian to English.
Quante volte mi sono sconvolto
How many times I got wasted
Il giorno dopo dire non lo faccio più
The day after saying I won't do it anymore
Quanti anni di vita mi son tolto
How many years of life I lost
Per trovare il modo per andare giù
To find a way to get wasted
Confondendo solitudine con libertà
Confusing loneliness with freedom
Ma non è la verità
But it's not the truth
Oggi ho aperto la mia finestra
Today I opened my window
C'era il sole e l'aria era fresca (uuh-uuh-uh-uh)
There was sun and the air was fresh (uuh-uuh-uh-uh)
E sotto casa mi aspettava lei
And downstairs she was waiting for me
Ho notato che certe volte piove
I noticed that sometimes it rains
Ai matrimoni o al primo giorno di vacanza
At weddings or on the first day of vacation
E che non importa andare chissà dove
And that it doesn't matter to go anywhere
Per trovare l'equilibrio e la coscienza
To find balance and awareness
La sicurezza che verrà insieme con l'età
The certainty that will come with age
Ma non è la verità
But it's not the truth
Oggi ho aperto la mia finestra
Today I opened my window
C'era il sole e l'aria era fresca
There was sun and the air was fresh
Si vedevano le montagne dietro la città
You could see the mountains behind the city
E sembravano così vicine che potevo quasi toccarle
And they seemed so close I could almost touch them
Sono sceso così per strada
So I went down to the street
E sotto casa mi aspettava lei
And downstairs she was waiting for me
Quante notti ad alimentare il fuoco
How many nights feeding the fire
Per morire poi di freddo alla mattina
To then die of cold in the morning
Quante volte pensavo fosse un gioco
How many times I thought it was a game
Invece sono stato una pedina
Instead I was a pawn
L'illusione che ti da
The illusion it gives you
Ma non è la verità
But it's not the truth
Oggi ho aperto la mia finestra
Today I opened my window
C'era il sole e l'aria era fresca
There was sun and the air was fresh
E ho soffiato via la polvere dal davanzale
And I blew the dust off the windowsill
Ed è stata una liberazione
And it was a liberation
Mi sentivo quasi rinato
I felt almost reborn
Non so bene come mi sono alzato
I'm not sure how I got up
Ho realizzato che ero malato ma
I realized that I was sick but
Oggi ho aperto la mia finestra
Today I opened my window
C'era il sole e l'aria era fresca
There was sun and the air was fresh
Si vedevano le montagne dietro la città
You could see the mountains behind the city
E sembravano così vicine che potevo quasi toccarle
And they seemed so close I could almost touch them
Sono sceso così per strada
So I went down to the street
E sotto casa mi aspettava lei
And downstairs she was waiting for me
