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

SONG MEANING

Picture a quiet Italian winter night: snow slides down the windowpane, the house is hushed, and the only companion is the crackling fireplace. In Come Vorrei, Ricchi e Poveri turn this cozy setting into a bittersweet confessional. The singer waits restlessly for a lost love, replaying memories of last year’s Christmas when everything felt warm and complete. Now, even the moon refuses to keep him company, and the holiday lights seem dimmer without the person who once made them shine.

At its heart, the song is a tender plea: “How I wish you loved me in my own way.” The lyrics move between hope and heartbreak, comparing love to snow that could either blanket everything in beauty or melt away under the first ray of sun. It captures that familiar tug-of-war between wanting to hold on and fearing jealousy, between longing for a fresh start and sensing the end. Both nostalgic and relatable, Come Vorrei wraps universal feelings of longing, regret, and fragile hope in a catchy pop melody that has made it an enduring Italian classic.
