Volevo Dirti Lyrics in English Modà

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volevo Dirti by Modà from Italian to English.
I don't want nostalgia anymore
I don't want you to go away anymore
So far from me
I didn't think it would be this hard
There are nights when I don't know
I really don't know who to talk to
Because I only talk to you
And when the whole city falls asleep
I'll walk while looking at the sky
To look for your reflection
I wanted to tell you that you
Since you're gone I don't live anymore
I wanted to tell you that if
That if you don't come back then I'll come
Then I'll come to you
Not seeing you gives me
A slightly unusual feeling
Something inexplicable that
That forces me to tell it in music
Thoughts and notes I'd like
To sing on one of those nights
Where the stars are just the two of us
Because the only poetry that can please us
Because for us being together
Stands above everything
I wanted to tell you that you
Since you're gone I don't live anymore
I wanted to tell you that if
That if you don't come back then I'll come to you
I wanted to tell you that
That now I know well what I feel for
What I feel for you
I won't hide from you everything that
That I now want to tell you
I wanted to tell you that you
Since you're gone I don't live anymore
I wanted to tell you that if
That if you don't come back then I'll come to you
I wanted to tell you that
Now I know well what I feel for
What I feel for
What I feel for you

SONG MEANING

"Volevo Dirti" is a heartfelt confession wrapped in Modà’s signature pop-rock warmth. The lyrics follow a narrator who wanders through sleepless nights, eyes fixed on the sky, hoping to catch even a glimpse of the person he loves. He refuses to accept nostalgia or distance; instead, he turns his loneliness into music, singing to the stars as if they were the only audience that could understand the depth of his longing. Every line pulses with classic Italian romanticism—dramatic, cinematic, unapologetically emotional—showing how love can turn an ordinary cityscape into a stage for epic feelings.

At its core, the song is a promise: “If you don’t come back, I’ll come to you.” It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever missed someone so fiercely that daily life loses color. Modà transforms that ache into a hopeful vow to chase love wherever it hides, celebrating the idea that true connection sits “al di sopra di tutto” (above everything). Whether you’re practicing Italian or simply soaking in the melody, let this track remind you that love can inspire music, courage, and a dash of beautiful madness all at once.
