Italian term or phrase: sussurrano i loro echi ai nostri confini
Un lembo di terra sull’orlo del precipizio. Le rovine di una civiltà in decostruzione, ma anche un paesaggio disabitato pronto a una nuova genesi. Il giardino dell’eden o solo quello di un palazzo del potere. Un mare che lentamente si fa mangiare da una terra ricca di macerie. Un cantiere in piena attività abitato dalle tradizioni di diverse e lontane generazioni. E poi all’improvviso siamo qui oggi, al confine di una guerra imminente o appena trascorsa, e con nuove guerre che sussurrano i loro echi ai nostri confini. Tutto fermo nella pace apparente delle nostre possibilità. Una pace che nessuna musica potrebbe descrivere meglio di questo assordante silenzio.

My try: A strip of land on the brink of a precipice. The ruins of a civilisation in deconstruction, yet also that of a deserted landscape ready for a new genesis. Whether it be a garden of Eden or simply that of a hall of power. A sea that allows itself to be slowly consumed by a land with a wealth of rubble. The traditions of several generations of yesteryear dwell on this construction site in full swing. And then, suddenly, we are here today, on the brink of either an imminent outbreak of war or one that had just ended, and with new wars that....

Could it be something along the lines of "echoes of new wars could be heard in the distance"?
