volare
Bobby Rydell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Volare (whoa oh, whoa)
Cantare (yeah, yeah) whoa, oh, oh, oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the madd'ning crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind (yeah yeah all behind)
Just like birds of a feather

A rainbow together we'll find

Volare, whoa, oh, oh, oh
Cantare,(yeah, yeah) whoa, oh, oh, oh
No wonder my happy heart sings (yeah, yeah)
Your love has given me wings
(Volare) yeah, yeah, yeah (oh oh oh) la la la
(Cantare) whoa whoa (oh, oh, oh)

Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the madd'ning crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind (yeah yeah all behind)
Just like birds of a feather
A rainbow together we'll find
Volare, whoa whoa (oh, oh, oh)
Cantare, oh oh oh (yeah, it's true) yeah, yeah

No wonder my happy heart sings (la, la, la)
Your love has given me wings
Little baby your love has given me wings

Oh oh your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings
