volare
The Gypsies 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 opening lines of The Gypsies' song Volare present a melancholic view of the world where heartaches and tears abound, and there is no sunshine amidst the hustle and bustle of life. However, the song changes its tone as we are told that the couple has their love always to remind them that they can leave the shadows behind. The song's central message is that love is the way out of the pain and the heartaches that one might face in life. The chorus of the song captures these emotions perfectly, with the Italian words, 'Volare' and 'Cantare' being used repeated to suggest that the couple wants to fly high above the madness and sing away their sorrows together. The song presents love as a remedy for all the disillusion, confusion, and the maddening crowds of the world.

This is the translation beautiful lyrics in any language To Fly

I think, such a dream
Will never return.
I painted hands and face in the blue
And then suddenly the wind kidnapped me
And I began to fly in an infinite sky.

To fly,
To sing
In the blue, painted in the blue,
I am happy to be above.

And I flew, flew happy
Higher the sun and even higher
While the world disappeared slowly
Far away down.
A sweet music played only for me.

But all my dreams disappeared at the daybreak because
When the moon sets, it brings them with itself.
But I continue dreaming about your beautiful eyes
Which are blue as the sky embroidered with stars...

To fly,
To sing
In the blue, painted in the blue,
I am happy to be above.

And I flew, flew happy
Higher the sun and even higher
While the world disappeared slowly
In your blue eyes.
Your voice is a sweet music
Which plays for me.

To fly,
To sing
In the blue of your blue eyes,
I am happy to be here dow

In the blue of your blue eyes,

Lyrics:
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
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
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

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 bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più
Mi dipingi con 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 cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
E che dici di stare lassù
E volavo,…

I don't understand a word of what the gentleman is saying but it makes me happy, lifts up my spirits, make me want to dance, conjures up images of happy people somewhere in the Mediterranean lands....such is the power of music - it transcends all language and culture barriers.

@carlosherreranava7134

Shakil Hashmi that´s sayin´
¨I´ll fly, I´ll sing hohoho"
and something about the blue sky and happiness

@ShakilHashmi

Carlos Herrera Nava Thanks a lot, Carlos. Much appreciated.

@uwubangtan

The song is in Italian, the chorus is saying " flying ooh, singing ooh, in the blue sky painted blue, happy to stay up here. It doesn't make much sense translated though 😂

@LupinTan

Gigi B. I thought it's Spanish?

@ochantotemo

Lupin Tan haha, yeah, the original song is italian, the Gipsy Kings (actually a french formation) usually sign in spanish and this song is performed half in italian and half in spanish.
