Italian term or phrase: de emozioni provate.
This phrase appears at the end of a poem in this sentence:
Mi lascio trasportare dal vento
che me spinge inconsapevolmente
verso qualcosa
che non sa nemmeno lui
e che mi confonde
de emozioni provate.
alastor46
the emotions I'm feeling
Explanation:
I might add the article and gerund -- the meaning doesn't change much, but it keeps the rhythm a bit more similar to that in the original.

Making "provate" function as a gerund rather than as a past participle reflects English idiom.

neutral  Anthony Green: Hi Shannon. You're right that it reflects English idiom, though when I read it it seemed that the ambiguity was precisely whether it's necessarily the emotions the poet is feeling, or the wind "che non sa nemmeno lui"
