I am currently finishing my Freshman year (5 days left..yay) and am 15 years old.

I would like an internship internationally(preferably Asia but anywhere will work (literally Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America)), i plan on achieving and MBA in business in grad school and may go into engineering as an undergrad before Grad school…

could you help me translate this, please? I don’t even know the language used in this song. I guess it’s latin. I love this song so much. Please help me translate this to english. thank you so much!
“LA SOLA”
Resterà la maschera di te nel mondo eterna,
Immutevole sospeso, ora su di te l’alloro,
Sarai epica illusione, tu l’anélito d’azione:
luce perpetua…
Condanna! Disfatta! Per me, la sola che non ha più te.
Svanirà l’umanità, involucro fugace.
Gloria brucerà la vita, limpida virtù nel mito:
non più fragile mortale, non più intimo compagno
Sguardo celato!
Condanna! Disfatta! Per me, la sola che non ha più te…
