"L'ultimo Bacio"

Someone asked me about the lyrics to Carmen Consoli's "L'ultimo Bacio." My translation skills are sketchy at best, so I chose only a few lines that I knew I understood.

"L'ultimo bacio mia dolce bambina
brucia sul viso come gocce di limone
l'eroico coraggio di un feroce addio
ma sono lacrime mentre piove
piove"

"The last kiss, my sweet girl,
burns on the face like drops of lemon
the heroic courage of a ferocious goodbye
but there are tears as you cry
you cry"

I don't, sorry, tiggie. But if you give me a bit of time, I could take a stab at the whole song.
