Lyrics

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 this illusion behind
Just like birds 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 cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d’improvviso ve nivo dal venito rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito

Volare, oh, oh
E cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let’s fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the clow of a star
That I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion
And all this illusion behind
Just like birds 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
Nel blu dipinto de blu
Felice di stare lassu
Nel blu dipinto de blu
