You might try using AltaVista's translation service, it's rough but it
works:

Here's your translated poetry:
Orltre the technique and the technology exist always an eye that watch
and a mind that discovers, with the spirit
     often of the child who observes made curious the new game. The
beauty of the astronomical observation is born in the
     thousand aspects that conquer the fantasy, in the detection of the
proportions of the Man and the Universe, in the
     abysmal events of remote galaxies or in the dying star colors
fugaci; in being able to escape far away, hidden in the
     multitude of ancient lights and silent, in the continuous cycles of
birth and died catastrophes that they guide the
     architecture of the worlds. Of the innumerevoli manifestations of
the Nature, the dusk of the night that slips on all
     perhaps is the greater gift for the Man, the possibility to slowly
embrace with one look the depths of the time and the
     always far places in order. The essence of the show is also the loss
of the supremacy on the things, and thin
     melancholy that is born from the ascertainment of our impermanenza;
overbearing and fanciullesco, sweet and bitter, it is
     in bottom the feeling of the search and the harmony also for a
single moment, like in one good friendship. The ability
     to stupirsi of the fantastic shapes of the sky is the push of
astrofilo that it tries in the society with the every
     mountain of novilunio the only possibility to renew an old promise
of tranquillity and contemplation, and unstoppable one
     to ruotare of stars is to ripetersi of a slow and strong rhythm
that, like the waves of the sea, gives to the mind the
     infinite idea.
