"We write songs in english ourselves" should be the literal translation (as far as my knowledge of Italian, with some added value of the Italian pocket dictionary on my desk, reaches) , but I can't get it either. I guess it is an Italian band, but that Italian words may put me on the wrong track: it seems, for example, that the words on the cover of Marillion's Brave, are in Dutch, but these are so badly readable that I can't make chocolate of it.
