Volare
Los del Valle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pienso que un sueno
parecido no volvera mas
Y me pintaba las manos y
la cara de azul
Y me improviso el viento
rapido me llevo
Y me hizo a volar en el cielo infinito

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu

Y volando, volando feliz
Yo me encuentro mas alto
Mas alto que el sol
Y mientras que el mundo
Se aleja despacio de mi
Una musica dulce
Se ha tocada solo para mi

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu

Pienso que un sueno
parecido no volvera mas
Y me pintaba las manos y
la cara de azul
rapido me llevo
Y me hizo a volar en el cielo infinito

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
Pienso que un sueno
parecido no volvera mas
Y me pintaba las manos y
la cara de azul
Y me improviso el viento
rapido me llevo
Y me hizo a volar en el cielo infinito

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh

Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu

Overall Meaning

The song "Volare" by Los del Valle is a Spanish version of the classic Italian song "Nel blu dipinto di blu" by Domenico Modugno. The lyrics describe a dream-like state in which the singer becomes one with the wind and soars through the infinite sky. The opening lines express a longing for a similar dream to return, suggesting that whatever the dream represented was incredible and irreplaceable. The singer then describes painting their hands and face blue and being lifted into the heavens by an impromptu wind. As they fly higher and higher, they feel free and happy, more elevated than the sun itself. Even as the world below recedes, the singer hears music that seems to be playing just for them. The refrain "Volare" and "Cantare" are both Italian for "to fly" and "to sing" respectively.
