E pur fra le tempeste

Once again I found safe haven

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Once again I found safe haven
in the midst of fierce storms.
May the day never return,
no, not even one brighter than this.

For this is the brightest day 
of my entire life.
Thus I wish to live;
thus I wish to die.
