Do the Peter Sinfield penned lyrics for the early PFM albums bear any resembalence to the original Italian ones?
dead things don't talk too well, they've got a shaky sense of diction.

No, not at all.

I enjoy both versions. I have had Italian speakers tell me the Italian lyrics are absolutely breathtaking...Sadly I've never understood the language.......

They have absolutely nothing in common. By Example: the song Via di qua (going away) was changed into River of life...
Please forgive me for my crappy english!

Maybe you're referring to "Appena un poco" (or "Appena Un Po'" as it's written on the inside of the LP), first song of "Per Un Amico" (1973).
It is confusing because the fist verse is exactly:

Via Di Qua / Via di qua / dove andrei / via di qua / subito / ...

Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar
cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca
