Volare
Sammy Davis Jr Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh oh
E contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
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
E contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
The song "Volare" by Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra is a classic Italian song that is known for its upbeat melody and lyrics about love and flying away. The song opens with the lyrics "Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh" which means "fly, oh oh, sing, oh oh oh oh" in Italian. The song encourages the listener to fly away from the chaos and noise of the world to a peaceful place where love and happiness can be found.
The next verse speaks of a dream that cannot be forgotten, where the singer's hands and face were painted blue, and they were suddenly carried away by the winds and flew into the infinite sky. The feeling of being lifted away to someplace higher, where there is only joy and peace, is expressed through the lyrics "E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su" or "And I flew, flew happily higher than the sun and even higher".
The repetition of the phrase "Volare, oh oh" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and excitement, urging the listener to take flight and experience life to the fullest. The lyrics "Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu" which means "In the blue, painted blue, happy to be up there" inspires a sense of adventure and freedom that the listener can feel as the song progresses.
