Anyone here speak Italian? Could you check this please...?

Here's a translation of Oceano by Josh Groban. Is my translation correct?

Clever part is I've never taken an Italian class...I just used my Latin.

ITALIAN:

Piove sull'oceano, piove sull'oceano
Piove sulla mia identità
Lampi sull'oceano
Lampi sull'oceano
Squarci di luminosità...ah

Forse qua in America i venti del pacifico
Scropono le sue immensitá
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il mio pensiero corre da te

Remo, tremo, sento
Profondi e oscuri abissi

É per l'amore che ti do
É per l'amore che non sai
Che mi fai naufragare
É per l'amore che non ho
É per l'amore che vorrei
É per questo dolore

É questo amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare queste vere tempeste

Onde sull'oceano, onde sull'oceano
Che dolcemente si placherà
Le mie mani stringono
Sogni lontanissimi
E il tuo respiro soffia su me

Remo, tremo, sento
Vento in fondo al cuore

É per l'amore che ho per te
Che mi fa superare mille tempeste
É per l'amore che ti do
É per l'amore che vorrei
Da questo mare
É per la vita che non c'é
Che mi fai naufragare
In fondo al cuore
Tutto questo ti avrá
E a te semberá
Tutto normale

ENGLISH:

It rains on the Ocean
It rains on the Ocean
It rains on my identity
Lights on the Ocean
Lights on the Ocean
Gaps of luminosity

Maybe there in America
the winds of the Pacific
Uncover its immensity
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
And my thoughts run to you

I row, I shake, I feel
Deep dark abyss

It's for the love I give you
and for the love you don't know
that makes me wreck
It's for the love I don't have
and for the love I'd want
It's for this pain
It's for this love I have for you
That makes me get over those real storms

Waves on the Ocean
Waves on the Ocean
that will gently calm down
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
and your breath blows on me

I row, I shake, I feel
A wind around my heart

It's for the love I have for you
That makes me get over thousands of storms
It's for the love I give you
and for the love I'd want
from this sea
It's for the life that isn't there
that makes me wreck
deep in my heart
All this will have you
and to you everything will seem normal


Thanks

Didn't read it all the way through by di means of, but its possessive. Some things are idiomatic and there are some words I don't understand so I might not be the best source on this. However, for the most part it seems OK

And how do you know Josh Groban got it right?
