Verse 1
There are days in which I don't sleep and I think of you
I'm locked in the house with silence as my friend
While the snow falls down behind the glass
Or: While the snow falls behind the windows
I wait for you here
Near the fire
In this winter, something isn't right
It's not Christmas for the first time in life
And yet it was only a year ago
Let's hope that
It's not finished
Or: It's not over
Chorus 1
How I'd like, how I'd like, my love
How I'd like that you loved me my way
Or: How I wish you were loving me how I want you to
That this evening, too sad, too similar
It wasn't anymore
Without you
How I'd like, how I'd like, my love
How I'd like that this love that goes away
It wasn't melting like snow in the sun
Without words
Verse 2
I should understand you when I see you go
And not love you when you don't want to be loved
Without falling into a new jealousy
That only you
You make me feel
Chorus 2
How I'd like, how I'd like, my love
How I'd like that you loved me my way
That this evening, too sad, too similar
It wasn't anymore
Without you
How I'd like, how I'd like, my love
How I'd like that this love that goes away
It wasn't melting like snow in the sun
Without words
Outro
And this time another woman won't come
To erase your imprint on the pillow
Even the moon I've asked, but it doesn't
It doesn't want anymore
To stay close to me

improntaimprint / trace

Impronta literally means "imprint" or "trace," like a footprint in the sand. It's a word that suggests a mark left behind.

In this classic Italian ballad, the singer describes the pain of seeing "la tua impronta sul cuscino" (your imprint on the pillow). This poetic line uses a physical image to represent the powerful, lingering memory of a lost love, making their absence feel even more real and heartbreaking.

This song is a classic Italian pop ballad about wanting a love that's slipping away. The singer is alone in a house during winter, watching the snow fall and thinking about someone who has left. They describe the scene with lines like, "Sto chiuso in casa col silenzio per amico" (I'm shut in the house with silence for a friend), which really sets a lonely mood.

The chorus is a direct and desperate wish: "Come vorrei che tu mi amassi a modo mio" (How I'd like for you to love me my way). It's not just about wanting the person back, but about wanting them to love in a way the singer understands and needs. They compare this fading love to snow melting in the sun, a beautiful but sad image for something disappearing without a sound. The song perfectly expresses that feeling of knowing you should let go, but being completely unable to.
