In English

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 in 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

Your love has given me wings



In Italian

Penso che un sogno cos?non ritorni mai pi? oh, oh, oh!

Nel blu, dipinto di blu

Felice di stare lass?
