Vitamin C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in the hustle and bustle no sunshine appears
But you and I have a love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us
Volare, oh oh
Contare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
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
Contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears
And in the hustle and bustle no sunshine appears
But u and I have a love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us
Volare, oh oh
Contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
Volare, oh oh
Contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
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, infinito
Volare, oh oh
Contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
The opening lyrics of Vitamin C's "Volare" describe the hardships and troubles that come with living in a crowded and busy world. However, the contrasting image is painted when they mention the love that the two characters share reminding them of a better way to live. It suggests that love is the key to finding happiness and escaping the difficulties of life. The song then shifts to a more euphoric and escapist tone as the lyrics talk about flying up to the clouds and leaving the hustle and bustle behind. The sense of freedom and possibility is emphasized with the mention of a star in the sky where lovers can find peace. The chorus reinforces this imagery with its repeated refrain of "Volare" meaning "to fly."
The next portion of "Volare" shifts into Italian and references a blue-painted sky and endless expanse. This bolsters the fantastical feeling of the song, giving the impression that the characters have transcended reality and are lost in a dreamlike state of being. The dream-like quality of the song is reinforced through the powerful metaphor of the "bird of a feather, a rainbow together," which reflects the idealized purity of love between two people. The song wraps up with the main refrain of the chorus, reinforcing the transformative power of love as it gives one the wings to ascend beyond life's pains and troubles.
