Di una generazione costretta a non guardare

➔ 'Costretta' (forced) is the past participle of 'costringere' (to force), used here to describe the generation. 'A non guardare' means 'to not look' - it is the infinitive of the verb after a preposition 'a'

È nostra... la libertà di dire Che gli occhi sono fatti per guardare
➔ Emphatic structure with 'è' + adjective + noun + relative clause. Use of 'essere fatti per' + infinitive to express purpose.

-
Che puoi decidere tu
➔ Subjunctive mood (present) after 'che' expressing a possibility or choice.
➔ The use of 'puoi decidere' instead of 'puoi decidere' suggests a possibility, a choice that the listener has. Since it is a general statement, an alternative wording without the subjunctive is also correct but conveys a slightly different emphasis.
