Volare
Mayolas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

pienso que un sueno parecido no volvera mas
que me pintaba las manos and la cara azul
y me improvise le viento la vida me llevo
y me hecho 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 felizes
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
felices di stare lassu
pienso que un sueno parecido no volvera mas
y me pintaba las manos and la cara azul
y me improvise la vento la vida me llevo
y me hizo a volar en el cielo infinito
volare oh oh
cantare oh oh oh oh
nel blu dipinto di blu
felices 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 and la cara azul
y me improvise el viento la vida me llevo
y me hizo a volar en el cielo infinito
volare oh oh
cantare oh oh oh oh
nel blu dipinto di blu
felices di stare lassu
nel blu dipinto di blu
felices di stare lassu
nel blu dipinto di blu
felices di stare lassu
nel blu dipinto di blu
felices di stare lassu




nel blu dipinto di blu
felices di stare lassu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mayolas's song "Volare" describe a dreamlike state in which the singer feels as though they are soaring through the sky, higher than the sun. They paint their hands and face blue, perhaps as a way of transforming themselves into a bird, and then allow the wind to carry them away. As they fly, they feel happy and content, and they believe that this dreamlike experience will never return.


The repetition of the chorus, which includes the Italian phrase "nel blu dipinto di blu" (in the blue that is painted blue), adds to the dreamlike quality of the song. It also suggests that the singer is lost in a world of their own creation, where even the colors are unreal. The song is ultimately a celebration of freedom and the power of the imagination, as well as a reflection on the fleeting nature of such experiences.
