Durante quella notte, stavo ascoltando il cinguettio degli insetti, e avevo sentito la bella brezza fresca.
Mentre ero illuminato dalla luna fase19, ho chiuso gli occhi e ho concentrato la mia attenzione sul suono per raccontare un insetto da un altro.

*"stavo ascoltando" requires to be followed by "quando" . "Stavo ascoltando il rumore degli insetti quando una farfalla si è posata su di me"
** "cinguettio" is only for birds
Bene! Purtroppo non puoi fare una traduzione letterale. Ti consiglio di studiare meglio i tempi verbali ;)

Hello Rick,
Thank you for the helpful comment.
I understand tnat the moon is called "waxing gibbous" in English.
月齢１９の月は英語で「waxing gibbous」と呼ぶのですね。
Some Japanese people may call that moon "fishimachi-zuki"(臥し待ち月).
あの月を「臥し待ち月」と呼ぶ日本人もいます。
The waxing gibbous appears late hours which is at about 21:30, so we would waite it while laying ourselves.
臥し待ち月は、夜更け、だいたい９時３０分頃にようやく現れます。だからその月を待つには横になって待ちます。
That name is an elegant traditional name of moon.
これは古風で優雅な呼称です。
Japanese people loves moon-viewing, so there is many words about the moon in Japanese.
日本人は観月が好きなので、日本語には月にまつわる言葉がたくさんあります。

Rick, also in the Italian language there is the expression: "Gibbosa crescente" but, as you say, it is used generally only by astronomers.

I didn't know what this phase of the moon is called in English, from searching the net, it seems to be called "waxing gibbous", but I have never heard anyone say that. Probably only astronomers use that word!
