 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?
 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!
 Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
 Nel blu, dipinto di blu
 Felice di stare lass?
 E volavo, volavo felice pi? in alto del sole ed ancora pi? su
 Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggi?
 Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me

 Volare, oh, oh!
 Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
 Nel blu, dipinto di blu
 Felice di stare lass?
 Nel biu, dipinto di blu
 Felice di stare lass
