volare
Nelson Riddle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears
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
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nelson Riddle's song Volare speak of the power of love to lift the human spirit above the mundanity and heartaches of everyday life. The opening lines reflect the reality that sometimes life can be tough and full of hardships, with no light at the end of the tunnel. However, the song reassures us that in the midst of all the chaos and darkness, there is love that can transcend all our fears, worries, and doubts. The chorus invites the listeners to fly up to the clouds and be away from the maddening crowds. It's a call to transcend the limitations of the human condition and reach for something higher and more profound.


The second verse reinforces the idea of leaving behind the confusion and the disillusion of the world behind. By doing so, we can experience the bliss and peace of mind of lovers who have found their place in the world. The song suggests that there is a type of cosmic harmony that exists between two people in love, and this harmony is like birds of a feather flying together, a rainbow that symbolizes unity and hope. The final chorus celebrates the power of love to give us wings, to lift us up above the earth and take us to new heights of joy, freedom, and creativity.
