Volevo Te Lyrics in English Giusy Ferreri

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volevo Te by Giusy Ferreri from Italian to English.
When it rains, what's making me feel good
What's happening inside me that I can't explain
Words are missing, they seem to vanish
Some things start but don't have an end
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun, but I'd see you
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun, but I'd see you
When I was with you
I didn't really know
That love's a limit, you can't go beyond
Words are missing, they seem to vanish
Some things start but don't have an end
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun, but I'd see you
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun
And days go by, departures with no return
They scratch walls, hands, and us who are far apart
And days go by, departures with no return
They scratch walls, hands, and us who are far apart
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun, but I'd see you
But I wanted you
I'd close my eyes to see you
I'd open my eyes to see the sun
The sun

SONG MEANING

Raindrops, sunshine, and a stubborn daydream – in Giusy Ferreri’s "Volevo Te" the weather is just scenery for a bigger storm brewing inside. The singer admits that whenever it rains she feels unexpectedly good, because every splash revives the image of one special person. She tries to describe the sensation, but words melt away; she closes her eyes to summon the memory, opens them to greet the sun, yet the only thing she can see is you. Love, she realizes, is both a refuge and a limit – a boundary you cannot cross once it has vanished.

The track is musically upbeat, almost dance-pop, but the lyrics tell a story of lingering attachment: days pass, journeys end with no return, walls and hands bear the scratches of distance. Still, the chorus keeps circling back to the simple confession "Ma io volevo te" – "But I wanted you". It is the bittersweet anthem of anyone who has tried to move on while their heart insists on replaying a single face like a favorite song stuck on repeat.
