Italian term or phrase: v. frase
Un pò bizzarro, ma ho bisogno di qualcuno che mi trovi una traduzione che riporti questa rima baciata in inglese:

Sale un senso di inquietudine
Sai che non è mia abitudine!!!

Grazie!!!

English translation:Taking a stab at it...
Explanation:
Here are a few suggestions, just for fun:

Though you know it’s not like me
A sense of trouble has come to be

Though you know it’s not my habit
I feel a sense of coming disquiet

Though you know it’s not like me
I’m troubled by feelings of calamity

You can invert the first and second lines of suggestions 1 and 3.

And thanks! That was fun.
