Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Trattengo Il Fiato by Emma from Italian to English.

Trattengo il fiato

I hold my breath

In questo mare di parole

In this sea of words

Quanto basta

Just enough

Per non pensare

To not think

Non sei invitato

You're not invited

A questo prossimo mio errore

To my next mistake

Quanto costa

How much does it cost

Ricominciare

To start over

Ma mi sento già in un'altra vita

But I already feel in another life

So bene cosa intendi

I know well what you mean

La differenza è netta

The difference is clear

Tra il tuo vivere e i miei sensi

Between your way of living and my senses

Il tuo vivere e i miei sensi

Your way of living and my senses

In mezzo a quelle cose che ogni giorno

Among those things that disappoint me every day in life

Nella vita mi deludono

There is enough space even for those you used to give

C'è spazio a sufficiente anche per quelle che sapevi dare tu

To make your path so great

Per fare tanto grande la tua strada

I made my heart small

Mi son fatta il cuore piccolo

But even your smile its trail

Ma persino il tuo sorriso la sua scia

Remake it and go away

Rifammelo e vai via

I hold my breath

Trattengo il fiato

On purpose to not make noise

Apposta per non far rumore

Just enough

Quanto basta

To hurt

Per fare male

And I allow myself

E mi concedo

To face another risk

A un altro rischio da affrontare

Because sometimes a door

Perché a volte una porta

Can seem like a turning point

Può sembrarti una svolta

But you closed it every time

Ma l'hai chiusa ogni volta

Defying all preconceptions

Sfidando tutti i preconcetti

I had my consents

Ho avuto i miei consensi

But they are now too distant

Ma sono ormai troppo distanti

Your way of living and my senses

Il tuo vivere e i miei sensi

Your way of living and my senses

Il tuo vivere e i miei sensi

Among those things that disappoint me every day in life

In mezzo a quelle cose che ogni giorno

There is enough space even for those

Nella vita mi deludono

That you used to give

C'è spazio a sufficiente anche per quelle

To make your path so great

Che sapevi dare tu

I made my heart small

Per fare tanto grande la tua strada

But even your smile its trail

Mi son fatta il cuore piccolo

Remake it and go away

Ma persino il tuo sorriso la sua scia

And I might have missed the opportunity to live together every day

Rifammelo e vai via

But behind so much indifference

E avrò perso pure l'occasione di vivere ogni giorno insieme

Light enters this room

Ma dietro tanta indifferenza

And I know you love me

Entra luce in questa stanza

Among those things that disappoint me every day in life

E so che mi vuoi bene

There is enough space even for those you used to give

In mezzo a quelle cose che ogni giorno

To make your path so great

Nella vita mi deludono

I made my heart small

C'è spazio a sufficiente anche per quelle che sapevi dare tu

But even your smile its trail

Per fare tanto grande la tua strada

Remake it and go away

Mi son fatta il cuore piccolo

Even your smile its trail

Ma persino il tuo sorriso la sua scia

Remake it and go away

Rifammelo e vai via

Do it again and go away

Persino il tuo sorriso la sua scia

Even your smile is its trail

Rifammelo e vai via

Do it again and go away
