Bashiri Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Just like birds of a feather a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
The lyrics to Bashiri Johnson's song Volare speak of finding solace in love amidst the disappointments and hardships of the world. The opening lines describe the world as a "valley of heartaches and tears" where "no sunshine appears". However, the singer finds hope and comfort in the love that he shares with his partner. He asserts that their love will always remind them that there is a way to leave behind the shadows and despair that can sometimes consume them.
The chorus of the song is a joyful proclamation of the singer's desire to soar to new heights with his beloved. The Italian word "Volare" means "to fly" and "cantare" means "to sing", and the two words are repeated throughout the chorus. This repetition adds to the sense of exhilaration and freedom that the singer feels as he envisions leaving the "maddening crowds" and finding a place of peace and contentment with his love. He suggests that they can find such a place by singing together "in the glow of a star" where "lovers enjoy peace of mind".
