New tattoo

So I decided its time for a new tattoo and I LOVE this lyric...I'm trying to find a great font to write it in...I want something that looks like old script, any ideas? Maybe like a old ink well pen...hmmmm

And I want to get this going down side


Alegria
Come un lampo di vita
Alegria
Come un pazzo gridare
Alegria
Del delittuoso grido
Bella ruggente pena,
Seren
Come la rabbia di amar
Alegria
Come un assalto di gioia


Translation:

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling

...

Update I found the font I want and here is a preview of the font...thoughts?

I know I'm a geek...don't judge me...

I am rather excited over this...

And after watching a few of them last night I have to ask the all im portant question...
