volare
Dario Campeotto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu dipinto di blu
E volavo, volavo felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva, lontano laggiù
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassù
Ma tutti i sogni nell'alba svaniscono perché
Quando tramonta, la luna li porta con sé
Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli
Che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle
Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
E continuo a volare felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
Mentre il mondo pian piano scompare negli occhi tuoi blu
La tua voce è una musica dolce che suona per me
Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù con te
The lyrics to Dario Campeotto's song "Volare" are about a dream that the singer doesn't think will ever come again, in which he painted his hands and face blue and was suddenly taken by the wind and began flying in the infinite sky. He sings about how happy he was to fly and sing in the blue, and how the world below him started disappearing slowly as he flew higher than the sun. While flying, he heard a sweet music that was playing only for him. However, he knows that all dreams vanish with dawn because the moon takes them away, but he continues to dream in the blue of the eyes of his beloved person who has beautiful blue eyes like a sky dotted with stars. He ends the song, saying he is still happy to be here with the person he loves.
The song has a theme of dreaming and flying in the sky, which symbolizes freedom and happiness. It could also represent how the singer was feeling happy and free while he was in love with someone who had blue eyes like the sky. The blue color in the lyrics is used to represent the sky and the person's blue eyes, which adds a dreamlike feel to the song. The melody is also upbeat and light-hearted, which reinforces the happy and carefree theme of the lyrics.

Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più
I don't think a dream like this will ever come back again
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
I painted my hands and face blue
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
Suddenly, I was carried away by the wind
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
And I started to fly in the infinite sky
Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassù
Flying, oh oh... Singing, ohohoho... In the blue painted blue... Happy to be up there
Ma tutti i sogni nell'alba svaniscono perché
Quando tramonta, la luna li porta con sé
But all dreams fade away in the dawn, because when the moon sets, it takes them with it
Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli
Che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle
But I keep dreaming in your beautiful blue eyes, which are like a sky studded with stars
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
In the blue of your blue eyes, happy to be down here
E continuo a volare felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
Mentre il mondo pian piano scompare negli occhi tuoi blu
La tua voce è una musica dolce che suona per me
And I keep flying joyfully, higher than the sun and even higher. While the world slowly disappears in your blue eyes, your voice is a sweet music that plays for me
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù con te
In the blue of your blue eyes, happy staying down here with you
